Yes, it's true

I'm 30

(the red text, bold/italicized large print is for you Rebecky). In fact, 22 years ago today, I was baptized. Is that as long ago as it sounds? I still remember a lot about it. Only my immediate family was there. Both sets of grandparents plus cousins Kyle and Melanie had traveled together and the car broke down. I remember that my sisters brought their non-member friend Kim. Strange that I remember her. But I remember what it felt like when I was in the water and especially what it felt like being confirmed. I even know what I got as presents that year. My first Book of Mormon engraved with my name. Cute, huh? What a great day.

Returning to the present, the kids were "extra" good for me on my birthday. When Trevor got home, he took us all to Black Angus, and then we picked out a Christmas tree. Just what I wanted! I love decorating for Christmas. Trevor likes to watch me decorate for Christmas! Still, it was a great birthday.

I didn't think it would bother me to be 30. The night before I was seriously bummed! The twenties were gone! It doesn't help that I've never weighed more! The next morning, however, I had to change my attitude. I have everything. My honey still thinks I'm hot, my kids are healthy and love me, I even get to take care of two cute, although slightly obnoxious, dogs. I have a cute home, nice weather, family, friends, books, blogs, music, TiVo, chocolate, new sunglasses, and pumpkin pie in the fridge. What more is there? I admit that I had to, again, be reminded of this by someone who is going through a rough time right now, sorry no details. But still, I have a lot. That's the point of this rambling post.

I'll end with a line from a country song (everyone can relate to country songs btw).

"I still remember, when 30 was old"...so true.

A few of my favorite things.
