So last Saturday was my birthday. I turned 31. I was dreading 30 so much last year but I have to say it turned out to be one of my best years ever. Turning 31 isn’t what I would call fun…I’m IN my 30s now instead of just being 30. At the same time, I love who I am in my 30s so much more than in my 20s. Here are just a few things I did this year:
- Visited Wilmington last year to start my 30th year off right. Got to see some amazing One Tree Hill filming.
- Went to Grove Park Inn to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary
- American Idol concert where I had after-party passes
- Got voted into the Hot Blogger Calendar and had an amazing trip to NYC with Heather and Dani for the photoshoot.
- Went through the Twilight craze including winning a Premiere tickets and a chat with Catherine Hardwicke
- Went to the NKOTB concert
- I wrote my non-novel.
- Went to DisneyWorld
- Visited Wilmington AGAIN and got to meet more of the cast.
- Met Phil Stacey
- Saw Phantom of the Opera
- Many, many moments with my girls and husband I can’t even begin to link to. Well, Emma starting Kindergarten and Lexi cutting her hair were a few highlights of the year.
Wow. A lot of those are BIG things. It’s been an amazing year. On Friday night, we were at my aunt’s house for a cook-out. She made a cake for my dad whose birthday is the 28th but he wasn’t there yet and she realized my birthday was Saturday so everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. I know it wasn’t planned for me, but it’s the first birthday in a really, really long time that my grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins sang Happy Birthday to me. On Saturday night we went out with my mom’s side of the family to Applebee’s. They sang Happy Birthday to me there and also had cake at home. I’m so very blessed!
Happy birthday wonderful Amy! I hope your 31st year will be even better than 30 was!
