Big plans



Kyle asked what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said, "dinner with my nearest and dearest, in a forest with twinkly lights."


My brother in law told me he thinks I live in a fantasy land. And I think he's right. But 30 is kinda of a big deal. Right?


And when I showed up on Saturday night, I honestly don't think it could have been anymore beautiful! 


My husband is a machine.
And my sister in law is a wiz, no craft is too big for this girl. 











I thought being 30 meant that I would all of the sudden feel a serious dose of permanent maturity. 
And a few wrinkles...


But instead all I kept thinking was, "here I am surrounded with these incredible people who I get to share my life with, people I love more than words could ever express, eating really great food in a "forest" with twinkly lights."


I felt really lucky.


Turning 30 wasn't so bad after all.

I'm so glad to hear that 30 wasn't as miserable for you as it was for me......you're right to look for the positive things and all you have to be grateful for....And 30 really isn't so bad....it's a perfect time!

Hey there! A mutual friend of ours, Jess Youngsma, sent me over to your blog and recommended you for a little feature I do over on my blog called Tattoo Tuesday! :) My blog is: http://sometimessweet.blogspot.com if you want to check it out. Anyway, I'd love to feature you- I feel kind of awkward messaging a stranger (and I may have left a comment about this before and forgot- today is my due date and I have a bit of preggo brain), but I've been meaning to ask you!

<3
Anyway, let me know- my email is danielleahampton@gmail.com
