"The Big 3-0"

Not that 30 is really all that big but I guess it gets credit for being a round number. I turn 30 on Thursday of this week and its not as much of a retrospective time as I may have guessed it would be. Granted, I don't think I ever thought I would grow up to be a pastor but stranger things have happened. I think the only shocking thing is being 30 with braces. I was at the ortho today for thicker wires and lots of tightening. (OUCH) Right now I have a large light purple rubber band across the top teeth and then alternating light and dark purple on each bottom tooth. Hey - you have to have fun with it right?

I am dreaming of Spring but we still keep having snow off and on. My poor bulbs are trying to come up and don't know what to make of it.

My church threw me a surprise birthday party yesterday. I was surprised and it was quite the cheery little party. We even had a cake with my picture on it, imagine something like that available in Wilbur. We are moving up in the world and will have a gas station with a convenience store soon!

On the actual birthday day Lars and I are going to Spokane for a nice dinner. Then next week I am leaving him alone with the mutts and I am going to Seattle with my folks. We are going to a Mariners game, getting together with my bro and fiance for dinner, and shopping shopping shopping. Should be a good break.

Anyway, hope all your adventures are going well, that you are out in the garden if you want to be, and that wherever you are it is warmer than Wilbur!

mid-life! Ah, I need my reading glasses - where did I put them?

HA -- you're all still BABES! I loved my 30s -- I hope you will be blessed to enjoy this next decade too, Heather! I'm attempting to embrace this newest decade and ignore the images being touted as "beautiful." Maybe I'll have a better (healthy??) perspective 10 years from now.

In any event, I hope you will have a stupendous time shopping and being with your peeps.

Happy, happy birthday!!

as a soon to follow big 3-0 member, I hope you have a wonderfully happy birthday. Full of ice cream cake, chocolate, party hats, and colorful wrapping paper that you tear to shreds and throw to the floor, not thinking about having to pick it up again, (all the things you could splurge on in your early 20's).
