The Big 3-0

I turned 30 this past July 7th.  We didn't make too huge of a deal out of it.  We went to dinner at Desert Star Playhouse and then called it a night.

Not sure its hit me quite yet that I'm a woman in my 30's instead of my 20's.  But, I don't miss my 20's.  I look forward to what this next chapter will bring.

Howie's 29th Birthday

We had a great time today celebrating Howie's birthday.  He asked me to take the day off work so we could just spend time together.  I was all for it.  What a beautiful day to do it, too.  We packed up a picnic lunch and took it to Liberty Park.

Is it just me or is the best thing about eating Cheetos the part where you get to lick the cheese flavoring off your fingers?

"Hey Tara.  Is there something in my teeth?"

We wanted to rent a boat and take it out on the pond in Liberty Park, but it was too hot out.  Maybe next time.  I haven't done that since I was a little kid so, we will definitely re-visit that idea another day.  After the park we went to Leatherby's for a delicious ice cream and to cool off.  Then we went home and took a three hour nap.  What a great, relaxing day.  I'm so glad Howie told me to take the day off.  Happy Birthday, sweetie!

Happy 29th Birthday To Me!

Today is my 29th birthday.



I came into work this morning to this lovely plate filled with frosted brownies made just for me by a co-worker.  (They're actually Costco brownies with homemade frosting, but still delicious.)  Can't wait to dive into one of those!

Today marks the beginning of the last year I have in my 20's.  It's a little surreal.  I didn't think I would feel any different getting closer and closer to 30, but it is a little nerve wracking.  I'm getting older.  There is no denying it.  A lot of people my age already have several children.  I have two cats and a husband.

Not bad.  Not bad at all.
