Happy Birthday to me!

There's no sugar coating this-- it's my birthday and I am 30!! There I said it! Oh and by the way, when the heck did 30 years fly by so fast??

So instead of being a downer I decided to list 30 things that you may or may not know about me. So here's to 30 short years! :)

1. Married my best friend, who I have now officially known for half my life! Love you Steve!

2. Gave birth to twins-- with an epidural that did not take... I'll leave it at that!

3. My favorite place I have traveled to is Tahiti-- the most beautiful place on earth!

Oh my gosh...what a walk down memory lane. I can't believe you are 30! It seems like yesterday my small, sweet, baby girl was born! I am so very blessed to have you as my daughter and as my friend. I love you so much.
