30 years old

I am 30.



I have been slightly dreading it (although MANY people in their thirties have reassured me that it is awesome) but mostly just bummed because I wanted to do a mega-awesome, crazy thing on my 30th birthday and really, I just haven't felt up to anything, besides napping.  Well, even though I wasn't feeling super wonderful on my birthday it ended up being so great!

I was spoiled by super awesome friends, a really cool family, and the best husband ever.

I spent the day being fed (breakfast-Layne, lunch-Casey and dinner-Spaghetti factory).  This in and of itself made my day amazing.

Casey making me a gourmet lunch.  Such a great friend.
I got a pedicure.  No pictures...:( 

I got the sweetest gift ever from my mom and Tiff and Kels.  They gave me a photo book entitled 30 Memories to Celebrate 30 years.  Each page had a picture (or multiple pictures) of a memory and was numbered.  THEN, there was this box with 30 gifts (all numbered) and each gift corresponded with one of the memories.  Such a cute, fun idea.  I wish I had thought of it!


A couple of the pages:
This page came with some yummy dried pineapple.
This page came with a bag of Laffy Taffy.  I think it's impossible to look at this picture and not at least crack a little smile.
Then of course, this came with a pound of See's.  
(Not all of them were food, these three just happened to be...)
So cool.

Then, Layners threw me a rockin' birthday party and lots of my good friends came to wish me a happy birthday.

Thanks everyone for being so great!
Me with the really cool cake Layne made built me.  (I don't know why this picture looks so weird, but it does).


30 years...so far, so good!

My dear friend! I'm so sorry I didn't attend either of the parties. I really wanted to, but given my current state, it was super overwhelming... the idea of hauling all three or leaving the 4 day old. Ugh! sorry I missed it all. I love you dearly and normally I wouldn't have missed it for the world! Love love love ya!
Happy 30th! You're going to rock it!
sday

Happy Birthday Jamie. 30 is not so bad. I'm sure like always you'll conquer it with style. Looks like you had a great day full of celebration. Hope you feel better soon!

Your b-day is on the 21st, right? Today is Kinlee's bday and I think I would've remembered if you guys had the same birthday. So happy 30th! Honestly, you shouldn't be bummed. If I were as active, athletic and smokin hot as you, I would not be sad to turn 30. :) And wow, what an awesome idea that your Mom, TIffany and Kelsey came up with. I'm going to do that for Rusty's 30th this year! (hope you don't mind me stealing the idea)

Happy Birthday! What great family/friends you have! Isn't it great, that you'll probably just look like you are 30 for the next 25+ years though? (Your mom looks so great & you have her genes!)
