30th Birthday Bash

 

Those who know me well probably remember me saying I wanted to go on a trip somewhere far away or that I wanted a fancy dinner for my 30th birthday. I realized this weekend one thing, that far away place wouldn't have included my family. That fancy dinner would have been in a loud restaurant & I wouldn't have been able to share stories with my close friends. Partying downtown wouldn't have inc...luded my daughter. I guess what I'm saying is that everything I thought I wanted for my 30th birthday wasn't at all what I needed. So what did I need? I needed to spend quality time with my loved ones. To share memories with my sweet baby girl rather than partying downtown. Sitting around with my friends & family in our home and watching our kids play together was more satisfying than any trip. Receiving phone calls, texts & emails today from so many sweet friends was the icing on the cake. Then to check the mail this evening & have a card from my grandparents telling me how proud they were of me ended an absolute perfect birthday. I may not be where I thought I would be at 30 but I can say this. I have a beautiful smart little girl that I can't live without. A good job, a family that loves me, an unbreakable bond with my grandparents, friends that are still there after 18 years, and amazing new friends who I'm lucky to have met as well. There is little to no regret here. Yes I'm a work in progress but I still keep a positive attitude and I'm working my butt off on achieving all my goals. That's pretty darn good if you ask me. So here we go 30's...bring it on

                                    

                                            

Meet Scuttles

We decided to rescue a kitten today from Petsmart.  Makenna couldn’t have been happier.  There were lots of adorable kittens there but as soon as I picked him up I knew he’d be the perfect fit for our family.  He’s so sweet and loving and just wants to be carried around like a baby doll.  Absolutely what my  year old wanted.  His adoption name was Scuttles and we decided to stick with it since Makenna is obsessed with The Little Mermaid.  I’ll update with more pics as he grows.
