I love my life -- all 30 wonderful years.Oh sure, I've had my ups and downs like any other person, but overall I don't have any major complaints. This may be why I've never been one of those people who fears getting older, or who dreads these landmark birthdays like the one I had on Sept. 4. I've always figured as long as I've accomplished what I want to in the time frame there is no need to be ashamed at the passing of another year. And right now, I'm extremely happy where I am.
So how did I celebrate this landmark day? Some people plan major parties for such a birthday, or long to do something really exciting/dangerous to mark a day. Skydiving, for example. But I've been there and done that. No, my birthday wish this year was remarkably simpler: To get a full night's sleep. Quite a change from past birthday requests, I must say.
Thanks to my amazing husband for pinch hitting on the feedings all night with bottles of breast milk, I got my wish and it was wonderful. However, in the morning I was glad to reclaim my post as Lydia's source of sustenance. I missed her that night.
The rest of my birthday weekend coincided with a Labor-less Day weekend in Cedar City with my family. It was just what I needed. A lot of relaxing, some time out of the house, a movie date with Derek, a trip to the cabin and lots of time with people I love. As always, my whole family went out of their way to make my birthday and the whole weekend special. Thanks you guys!
I blew out all 30 candles. I can't wait to see if I get my wish :)

One month old already! Sept. 6, 2009On Monday, Sept. 7, Lydia had her first experience at the family cabin, although for her it probably felt like every other place she's ever been considering her sleep, eat, play schedule didn't change. Kevin and Leslie drove up in time for a late lunch that day, making it the first time in quite a while that the whole family has been together (minus Bri-guy).
