Day 82 of Happiness: I'm 30, Flirty, and Thriving!!

A birthday is always a spot of happiness and tomorrow is my birthday.  I'm excited about it today though, so it's already a spot of happiness.  I cannot believe that I'm turning 30 - it used to seem so old, but now it seems so young.  At this age my mom already had three children, had joined the military, and had left the military.  I just got married.  I may be a bit behind in the family department - but I tried to get a lot of stuff done before settling down, like grad school, Peace Corps, time getting my career on track, etc.

This has actually been a great pre-birthday weekend.  Today was full of fun - golf lessons, Ivan's soccer game, and our first Couples Golf League.  It was a lot of fun - more fun than I thought.  And Ivan and I play well together - he can drive the ball super far and I can putt the ball with much more patience.  It was good fun.

Tomorrow we have a day in DC planned (since I took off work - hey, you only turn 30 once in your life, unless you start counting backwards like my brother-in-law!) with our niece and a BBQ with my family, golf friends, and neighbors.  It's gonna be great.

I had actually always thought I'd do something fabulous on my 30th bday but since I just got married it seems a bit much.  I mean, we've celebrated me far too much this year.  So, a low-key 30th bday sounds just fine.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to face the new week!
