So long 20s hello 30s!!
Every year the night before my next birthday, I always reflect upon the passing year. Well, this time I've thought about an entire decade. My twenties were full of polar opposite emotions. I experienced the greatest joys (getting married and becoming a mother), but I also experienced great tragedy and loss to such a degree I wasn't sure I'd make it to 30. Yet, here I am hopefully a little wiser, softer, kinder and understanding. I won't lie, I wish Sam was here to celebrate my birthday with me. It never crossed my mind we wouldn't make it to 30 together. But, at least I have two beautiful children that remind me so much of him and they are so much fun. I'll admit, I've been a little depressed about turning 30. I know, it's silly and rationally I know I'm the same person today as I will be tomorrow, but I've been sad. I don't know what got me out of the funk I was in, but my pity party is officially over and I can honestly say I'm excited for the next 10 years. I'm a little relieved to have my 20's over. I'm hoping the next decade won't be as crazy!

Happy birthday Kira sorry we have been so busy. It's not so bad getting old,but I understand your emotions about it.
Loved your post and Happy Birthday...in a few shorts months I will be joining you.
Happy 30th! These milestones are always hard to get through without our loved ones. I'm sorry you have to do it alone. Thinking of you always.
I wanted to do something big for Brant when he turned 30..no, he just wanted to relax and do pretty much nothing. That was even hard for me because I wanted to make his 30 special, but I just had to sit back and let him just do whatever. anyways, I hope that each day is a little better than the last :)
Happy Happy Birthday! I loved your post...I hope you found fun things to do on your special day. Your kids sure are lucky to have such a good mom.

Happy Birthday! I thought of you, but I'm so bad with cards or calling. Hope you had a wonderful day! I have a few more months before 30, but being pregnant with the third child, I feel no youth here. Love ya!
