My 30th birthday was a month ago...I was anxious about turning 30- 30 seemed old and I wasn't sure where the years have gone, but I am happy to report that I am 30 and lovin it!!! When I came to terms with turning 30 I wanted to do it up big. I'll have to say that I will NEVER forget my 30th birthday. The weekend before my actual birthday Rudd and I went to Las Vegas for a weekend. We were so excited to get out of town- the last time we went on a vacation together was our honeymoon in Seattle. I was ready to go to Vegas and forget about everything- inlcuding my mom's upcoming open heart surgery. WE HAD A BLAST. I have never had so much fun in my entire life. We saw a Cirque De Sole show, gambled a bit, visited ALL the hotels, shopped, and ate lots of good food and had some "yummy" drinks.
The day of my birthday was spent in the hospital with my mom, Reid, and Rudd. Despite my mom's upcoming surgery and other illnesses, she got me a cake and we had a mini party in her hospital room. Later my dad and brother took us out to dinner at Red Robin. I opted out of the whole birthday song thingy, but ordered a mountain high mud pie for everyone to share. I spent my birthday with the most special people in the world....It couldn't have been more perfect - well Ok, it might have been just a bit better if my mom wasn't in the hospital!
