Thirty is the new Twenty....

Or so they say...lets hope it's true b/c I'm not sure how I feel about being 30!
yesterday was my birthday. The last few months as this day has been approaching I've been thinking alot about it and how I feel?. There is so much dramatization about people's reactions to turning 30 and I got to think about how I would /do feel turning 30. Funny enough, it actually got me thinking more about turning 40 and 50. I mean 30 is really not that bad, I know i'm still "young" especially by my parents standards....or anyone older than me infact....but getting older is really making me think about my mortaility. I can't stop time...THAT was a bigger slap in the face than actually turning 30 was. I have reflected alot about time....how much I have left....what I want to accomplish with my life etc. It's been an interesting internal dialogue going on the last few months:)
Anyway..i'm getting sidetracked...i'm such a terrible writer. I wish I could be a fabulous blogger like some of you.
So, Yesterday morning I woke at 4:30am (yuck!) b/c I had to be in Lake Oswego to get a bride ready by 6:00am. As I walked into my bathroom and looked in the mirror over the bathroom sink, the wrinkles in my forehead seemed strangley apparent to me. My hips felt bigger and my thighs chubbier....though the last 2 probably weren't a figment of my very tired imagination...it was probably due to the fact that I have been living off of chocolate, candy canes, apple pie and icecream for over a week now. sigh....that's another story but i'm trying to get back on the bandwagon here before the New Year.
I headed off to my wedding and by 8:30am was on my way to wedding number 2:) I'm grateful for the money but boy was I tired.
On my way home around 3pm I called Steve to let him I know I would be home soon. He wished my Happy Birthday and funny thing was I had already forgotten it was ! lol.
When I pulled into our parking spot Steve came running down the stairs and gave me a Huge hug, swung me around and wished me Happy Birthday again:) Call me a total sucker but that was the Best part of the day for me:) I love sweet little romantic gestures like that and they are sometimes rare around here;o)
I told Steve I wanted to go for dinner at Bridgeport and buy a new top:) ( I knew it was my only chance and probably the only day of the year I could get him to shop with me without complaining:).
Unfortunately Megan already had her heart set on eating CAKE ...so instead they went and got Oreo McFlurries and we ate those in the afternoon.
Around 7pm we went to bridgeport and I dragged Steve from store to store til I found a really cute Slate colored blouse from BCBG:) It was $118 marked down to $41!!!! YAY for good deals:)
we ate at California Pizza kitchen and headed home. It was a great night, I just wish I wasn't SO stinkin' tired!!
Today after Church Steve had a birthday present for me ( he couldn't get it yesterday b/c it was shipped to our friends and they weren't home). Yesterday he had told me He had bought me some airbrush foundations but informed me that they had had trouble ordering me a compressor so I would have to save up some money and buy it in a few months. ....I was obviously dissapointed b/c I can't do much with these foundations without a compressor......
So, today he gave me the foundations. After a few minutes he told me to sit with him and show them to him. I said "well....here they are". ( I mean I can't even use them.lol)

THEN...he whipped out a big box and I shouted "Shut up!!!!!".....I was SO surprised and SUPER psyched!!!!! Steve's MOM actually bought the compressor for me afterall. It's an Iwata Smart Jet (they are very spendy) so we certainly could not afford it! I am so thankful for her helping me with my career:) she paid for me to go to school too!! Thank you Sharon!!!!!
anyway....I spent tonight airbrushing my own face (that's an adventure! lol) b/c Steve would rather die than let me put makeup on HIS face!!!
So....now I need YOU (all my local friends) to let me practice on you!!!

Anyway.......so there you have it. That was my 30th Birthday:) it was a good day.
I plan to go out with some friends on January 3rd so I'm excited to celebrate again! hahah......
