Funny that this is my 300th post on this blog and I just turned 30! I just have to take the time to record how wonderful this birthday week has been. It started with a serendipitous opportunity to get into a rental house this summer, a fabulous 5 bedroom house with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood across the street from the church and elementary school, much sooner than we expected and in great circumstances. I was also able to convince my current leasing manager to release us from our contract two months early. So in about 7 weeks we will be out of this apartment!
Then last weekend some of my favorite women took me out to dinner to celebrate our new baby's imminent arrival. I also started receiving mysterious mail, later to discover that my best friend Beth (hereafter known as Most Wonderful Woman Ever) had orchestrated a mass birthday card mailing, asking several of my life-long and recent friends to send me a 30th birthday message. I feel so loved! I also have received some awesome birthday cards and presents, best of all from Mr. B: a Kindle! I did NOT expect that at all.
On my birthday, I had some great friends watch my kids, giving me a chance to: make Barb's raspberry trifle for my birthday dessert, enter Audrey in the drawing for Pre-K for next fall (for which she got picked!), and have lunch with my amazing friend Amber, who got me a great birthday present AND made me lunch AND made all my kids tee-shirts as a baby present. The shirts say Big Sister, Middle Brother and Little Brother and I will post a picture someday!
Mr. B took me to dinner at Sushi Avenue, where I enjoyed a long craved veggie sushi roll, and then we ate our trifle and opened gifts. I just feel so loved, even my little brother called me!
If you'd asked me a while ago, I would have said that I wanted to go to Paris for my 30th, but then we decided to have a baby and I have to admit to feeling a little blue about having my big 3-0 at 39 weeks pregnant. But the happiness this week has been, and all the love I have felt from my friends and family, has made this the best birthday ever, even better than Paris!
Thank you EVERYONE!!

(I meant to take more pictures, but kept forgetting! I wanted a picture of Mr. B and me at dinner, but forgot. Plenty of trifle pictures though!)

Oh, I'm so glad you had such a great birthday! You look wonderful :)
PS - I may have sent your card {the one from Beth} late . . . But I figure it will be fun that way, to still be getting mail, even after your birthday! Haha!
I talked to you on the phone but I still feel the need to comment. So you know I'm still your biggest fan. ;)
Happy Happy Birthday!! (belated...sorry!) Glad to see your birthday turned out better then expected :) (I know how that goes!) Here's to another great 30 years!!
PS-You look amazing for being 39 weeks!!
Happy Birthday!! I can't believe we're hitting the big 3-0 this year (my birthday's next month), isn't it crazy?!! I'm glad you had such a fun birthday!
I've been reading your blog but it suddenly donned on me I haven't commented in forever. It's fun keeping up through blogs, but I'm sorry I've been so bad at posting lately!
