29...the countdown begins

Flowers and my new hair iron (girls...it's a step up from the CHI!!)My husband knows how to gift me.

I turned 29 yesterday. The countdown to 30 has begun. Somehow I'm not as fearful of it as I once was. All the 30 and 30+ people that I know are simply fabulous and all have great lives. A special thank you to all who gifted, called, emailed, text...Mom, thanks for the annual birthday jingle (although I expect something a little more creative next year). A very special thank you goes to my darling husband who always makes the day so special for me. Thanks for attempting to get my "to do" list done and for the beautiful flowers and gift. Thanks for babysitting Max so I could go shopping with the ladies. Another thank you to my always wonderful sister, Jolea, and her husband for waiting around for over an hour to eat at the Cheesecake Factory with us and to Mark and Jeff, who I can't imagine not having in my life. You all made 29 a very special day for me.

Who needs a brush and paint when you have a chip and BBQ sauce? Max takes painting to a whole new level at the Cheesecake Factory. Thank you Max for being so good and patient at my birthday dinner.
