Yesterday was my birthday, so thirty years ago and one day I was born, a healthy eight pound baby girl. We were still camping on my birthday (I will post more about camping later), so we (my husband, our three boys, my mom and of course me) went out to eat at a fancy hotel at the national park we were staying for breakfast on my birthday. It was a nice way to start my birthday, and they even brought out a decorated plate saying "Happy Birthday" on it with a cupcake which we split between us all. The drive home wasn't the most fun because Sam and David had a hard time being cooped in the car for so long, and I cannot blame them in the least...not to mention James needed us to stop multiple times for a restroom break, and the younger boys got anxious whenever the car stopped. One of our neighbors invited us over to roast marshmallows last night, so we joined them for a little while since it was nice to be invited, and we wanted to get to know them better, but because it was late (well...right at the boys bedtime), we couldn't last very long, but I imagine they appreciated us stopping by. We took over our extra chocolate and graham crackers from camping to share. It was nice to sleep in my own bed again.
Today I am making a birthday cake because I told James we would have one today. It is a devil food cake (from scratch), and it will have a chocolate pudding (from scratch) filling with a from scratch chocolate frosting. I plan on letting James and Sam both put some sprinkles on top. I will try to post a picture of the completed cake later.
I know a lot of people dread their 30th birthdays, but to me, it was just another day...although special since family wished me a happy birthday and we had a fancy breakfast together. I don't feel especially old or anything like that. So far my birthdays haven't really affected me in that manner, so I am grateful for that. I look at my life right now, and although it can be tough at times with our three little ones, I wouldn't change anything. I am happy and content with where I am in life...married to a wonderful man and mother to the most adorable and loving boys. I sure am blessed!
