The Big, Fat 30!

Here I am beginning the weekend that is my 30th birthday weekend (my birthday is Monday)! It's really strange realizing that I will be thirty years old in a couple days. I remember high school like it was yesterday. I feel like college happened last week! I remember seeing my baby brother for the first time at the hospital the day he was born 25 years ago. I remember when my mom was thirty - I was nine! I have been blessed with so many wonderful experiences in my life that I will always cherish. Life is good and I have faith it will continue to get even better!

Chad went and got donuts this morning and that's always a good start to a great weekend. We plan to enjoy this refreshing fall weather by taking a trip to the zoo this afternoon and walking our big dog this evening. I plan on seeing family, eating lots of cake and enjoying this few days of being off work from my part time job that feels like a full time job! But, perhaps my favorite day will be Monday, my birthday, when I'll have lunch with a friend and then go to Norman that evening to eat at my most favorite restaurant, Victoria's Pasta Shop. After a delicious meal, Chad and I will walk around OU's campus in the moonlight and reminisce and talk about the old days when we were younger - we may even visit the site where Chad asked me to marry him on September 16, 2005.

Please stay tuned and visit again as I will have a birthday post early next week with lots of pictures to document this weekend. I will also resume posting on our journey to meeting our baby.

I wish you all a splendid weekend!
