My Next Thirty Years

Today I turned 30 years old.  It was a wonderful day.  It started with the best gift: John slept seven continuous, glorious hours last night!  He might only be four weeks old, but he already knows how to make Mama happy (even if it was just a birthday fluke).  Later in the morning, Henry and I enjoyed some painting on the porch.  Henry likes to keep things neat and tidy, so there was less of a mess than you might expect.  This afternoon, Nanna and Pa drove up to watch the boys during nap time so I could enjoy a rare, solo shopping trip.  Later this evening, Gus took us to our very first dinner out as a family of four.  We dined at (where else?) Chickfila. (I should add that Gus is taking me out on a "real" birthday date this weekend to a restaurant that requires reservations and eating with utensils.)  After dinner, we came home and the boys helped me blow out the candles on my red velvet birthday cake (compliments of Nanna!).  I can't wait to see what God has in store for my next thirty years!
