Happy Birthday To Me

Another year, another birthday. Somehow they just don't seem as important as they use to, my focus in life has changed dramatically. Although, I must admit, my 30th year was amazing. With the addition of Jack and all of the good stuff that came with him it has been by far my best year yet. I can only imagine what "31" has in store for me. Here are 30 of my favorite memories from this past year...

Okay, I could have made another list of '30', but I'll save that until I'm sixty. Needless to say, it has been a wonderful year and I owe all of my happy memories to my loving family and my fantastic friends. Here are some pictures of #30...dinner with the girls.

Thanks to everyone who made my day so special and we missed those of you who couldn't make it.

Yum! Look what we got to eat! I should say 'I'...I think most of it ended up on my fork!
