30 is the new 20

On April 1st, I turned 30. It wasn't a huge deal, I've never been scared of growing old. I figure since it's going to happen whether I like it or not, I might as well not fight it, and save my energy. Why do I need this energy? Well duh, I have a 2 year old and an almost 2 month old. Soon I will have 2 mobile children and I need to figure out how to run in 2 different directions ASAP.  And although my 20's were great, I get to take the best parts of that decade with me into my 30's, so there really isn't anything to miss now is there?

My 20's were very busy, I got married, became a teacher, got my first job, got a house, got a dog, had a kid, liked that alot, so I had another kid. But in my 30's I still have the awesome husband, dog, house and kids, so really, when I look at it, 30 is just the new 20. New and improved I suppose.

I do have a few things I want to do in the first year of my 30's. I want to go back to weight watchers, and reach my goal weight. I want to learn to run, and try fitness boot camp. I want to ride my bike more, walk my dog more and pray the rosary more. We'll see how I do, trying all of this and running after two kids. I may not reach all these goals, but heck, I'll have 9 more years after this. With Ken, Teresa and Frances, I know this decade will be a hell of a good time.

We went to the Byward Market in Ottawa on my birthday day. This was the beaver tail Ken consumed.

I got a birthday balloon, but I could have NEVER had as much fun with it as she did.....ever.

Teresa helped me blow out my many candles.
