Memorable Double Digits

I am 30 and my son is 10. Yeeksh.

It seems like just moments ago that little nugget was in my womb. Then I had one blessing after another to make it my most purposeful decade. It has made me see that some of the best things in the plan of life are unplanned, and not to your plans anyway. Try as you might to change your fate, but do this knowing you may miss some major blessings. I have enjoyed every ounce and taken in every lesson to learn the best way that I can with what I have been given. And I can't imagine my world without you and what you started, Sergeant Stink. Let's celebrate!

But first... I want to write that I love you, so much.

10 is a big one... so we honored it twice. Round one at a Cards game, and with Stink's best buddy, plus a couple feet of cotton candy to handle. Now, the Cardinals are not his favorite team, but no one could ever tell with the extreme support and unforgettable touch down faces. This was a game consisting of one of the rare Cardinal wins this season... good pick love!






















Round two of course had something to do with football as well... Now, for a game of his own. All I had to do was buy the venue and food... Stink managed the rest, and very well. He came up with a plan, instructed on all of his invites which position was to be played and what color each player needed to wear. Mom made the rule to bring the flags. And he requested that I bring the timer. I later found out that this was to time the quarters as he stood out on the field with his playbook full of his made plays... with his own playing position as all time quarterback and running his party.

You are going to be something big someday honey. I only hope that this was your best Birthday yet, and made you feel as special as you are.



Now... I wasn't as thrilled about turning 30 as Stink was about turning 10. I really didn't dream that this age would ever bother me. Then it soon did. The sound of 3-0 seemed more intimidating after thinking about all of the things that could and did happen in those 30 years... which is a lot. Enough to make me dye my hair dark and feel slightly seasoned. I feel like in your 20's you think you get life when it's barely starting. You figure out who you are and what you want. The 30's are to embrace and enjoy that. I've decided I'm going to wear my 30's as well as this new dark hair of mine. I had a very memorable night to psyche me up for my continued adventures. It was 80's style and theme since I was born in 1982. I had my Madonna glove along with some others, and even shared one. It complimented my big hair, dark make-up and leg warmers. Saw a great comedian. Made lasting memories. Had so much fun.










 So scary as it sounded, 30 ended up looking and tasting... delicious. And it will just get better...
