The BIG 3-0!

Wow! May 20, 30 years ago I was born!! What a grand day! I know there were trumpets blazing in my honor! Haha! Nope more or less my mom originally thought she had bad gas and when realized it wasn't and it was actually contractions Mom & Dad rushed to the hospital and hours (during a painless labor) as my mom tells me -- I was born! (My mom did write a great blog...a sort of birthday present to me) I loved it -- http://gigi1953.wordpress.com/

Years ago I found out Cher and I shared the same birthday...whoa! That was so cool to me - to share my birthday with a STAR! I wasn't really a fan of Cher's, except for the fact I loved the role she played in MASK. Well as the years have gone on -- The BEST part about my birthday is sharing it...not with a STAR, but with my FABULOUS Family & Friends!!

Wow! I didn't really know what your 30th...I knew that I didn't want a huge bash, but something intimate with family and close friends...I was blown away!

My weekend started off spending time with my Husband and family at the lake - it was a great time! It is never ENOUGH time but I was greatful to be with them and enjoy simplicity at the lake and hear stories from the past!!

My work week started off great! Wednesday I woke up to kisses from Hubby, the boys and kitty! It was nice and I knew my day was off to a good start! We ordered in at work and got to catch up with my Boss and Yvette on what else is going on other than work. As we were eating Rick popped in with a gourgeous boquet of roses -- he has amazed me the last 2 years and again he put a smile on my face! The day went on and The office had ordered a yummy cake which we all dug into and enjoyed --- a little too much, I was full!! As the day was winding down a guy came through the door with flowers from my Mamma-Deen!! She always has the best boquets each year!!

Off from work and off to Maggie's - she has prepared a Mexican Feast -- OMG! It was delicious!! She did a great job prepping it all! Fabulous decorations, great company, yummy cake and just all around good time! Coming home, I did cry -- happy tears of course. Listening to Candlebox a song came on - a song about growing and changing -- it hit home, cause I have changed so much not in these past 30 years, I have grown in the last 2 years! Once home I opened Mike's gift -- I LOVE windchimes, and Mike got me the prettiest stained glass set!! After that it was relaxing and off to bed.

I'm so fortunate and excited because it's not over -- We have a weekend planned in Galveston and a fun boat day with Maggie and The Boys on Monday!! I'm stoked!!

In conclusion for today -- I AM SOOO VERY BLESSED! I have a fantastic family and great friends that have become close and truly loved by Mike & I. My theme song for this is 'My Next 30 Years' by Tim McGraw! I can't wait for my next 30!
