Thankful 30s



I joined the ranks of the 30-somethings yesterday and I couldn't be more thankful. Here's why:

• My incredible husband made one of my lifelong dreams come true as a birthday gift.
• Cousin Lucas reminded us all what it means to honor our spouse and I was inspired by his words.
• My parents and sister kept Morgan and Joey overnight, giving Jeff and I our first night alone (and morning to sleep in) in 16 months.
• Jeff's parents picked up a Sicily's pizza for us - our favorite!
• The universe brought my best friend to me so she would be there to help me celebrate turning 30.
• My Spartans beat Purdue (making MSU bowl-eligible, yay!).
• My Colts beat the Patriots in a stunning come-from-behind 35-34 victory and I was actually able to stay up and watch it.

I could not have asked for a better start to a new decade. Thank you friends, family and football players. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I totally didn't realize, or I would have told you in person. I need to pay more attention to facebook I guess! I'm glad you had such a fabulous birthday weekend (for the record, I was cheering for the Colts too...). - Kim

Happy 30th birthday Lauren. I knew your birthday was on opening day, and I don't know why...a little pre-occupied I guess with weddings, I forgot. I'm so sorry, happy belated. Sounds like it was G R E A T! By the way I think I told you this at the wedding but you looked adorable and if I didn't know better I'd have thought you were pregnant just by your glow that night. Loved the dress too! A. Denise

Definitely NOT pregnant, Aunt Denise, but thank you for the compliment. I guess 30 just looks good on me! ;)

Anytime, Tammy! I especially like how the flash highlights your armpit. :)
