Happy Birthday to Me!

Today marks the beginning of my 30s, and I have to say that life is good. The last decade has been amazing and life changing ... becoming a wife, graduating from college, starting a career, buying a home, having 2 incredible children, among a million other big and small things. Here is to hoping that my 30s are full of as much love, joy, laughter, success and fun as my 20s!

30 Things That Make Me Happy

1. Marble Slab Ice Cream
2. A pedicure and a good book
3. Sleeping in and/or taking a nap
4. Listening to my children laugh
5. Watching sinful TV that I am (gasp!) too old to be watching … Gossip Girl, 90210, Vampire Diaries
6. Getting comments on blog entries
7. Fun mail
8. A long shower after a hard workout
9. Cuddling on the couch with Indy
10. Taking pictures

18. Good surprises

20. Slipping into a perfect pair of blue jeans
21. Weekends where we have nothing on the schedule

Happy Birthday Anne! I love our weekly catch up calls too! Hope you had a wonderful birthday. BTW - Marc saw your Halloween pictures of the boys and thinks you are fantastic, we might hire you to take some professional photos of Riley for us! We'll talk before your race! :)
