Birthday bash
Day 306 - April 19
I turned 30 today and we threw a big party for all of our closest friends. It was so much fun. I’d prepared all week buying toys, candy and pinatas - can you tell I’m just a big kid? I didn’t have many really fantastic birthdays as a kid. And anyone who is paying attention would notice that April 19th isn’t exactly a great day to have a celebration, even less so when you’re living in Oklahoma City. However, despite the day and the memories, I wanted to actually celebrate a great day and the ginormous miracle that I made it to 30! Trust me, it’s a miracle. I either should have died of pneumonia or a staph infection by now. I’ve tried several times. God must have something HUGE planned for the next year, at the very least.
Anyway, I served my friends today and it was totally worth it. When I have a chance I will post some pictures of the party, but I’ve hardly had time to get them off the camera. My mom is awesome and sent me some beautiful charms for my charm bracelet. One of them was my birthstone, one a cross and the other a “365″ charm. Perfect for honoring the occasion and this past incredible year. I’d love to have a year like this worthy of a charm every year, but I know God has big plans, so I will wait and see what He does. I think it will probably all be charm-worthy! Thanks to everyone who came to the party, and brought their kiddos to play with us, and wished me the best birthday I’ve ever had!
