Simple Things

Last night, as I was saying my prayers...I became very overwhelmed with all of my blessings.  You see, yesterday was my 30th birthday.  Seriously - how did I get to 30!?  I tried to reflect on the past 30 years and what I have learned.  I am really not a deep person, but I am definitely an emotional and sentimental one.  I have so much to be grateful for.  It's amazing when you look back and can clearly see how your life has been directed to a certain point.  My 20s were great, I loved them.  I learned a lot about myself and I have a feeling my 30s will be just as great.   This is a big year for our little family and as Andy said - the best is yet to come!

So what did we do to celebrate?  Andy surprised me by having his mom come up to watch the kids so we could go out.  It was so nice to spend time with just Andy.  It really was one of my favorite nights since we've been in Washington.  We went to the gym together (something we use to do all the time before we had kids), went and saw a movie and then found ourselves a cute little sushi spot to enjoy.  We then topped it off with a walk though the mall and some frozen yogurt.  It was so much fun.

Other simple things that happened this weekend..
* Clare officially began crawling and even pulled herself up on the couch last night.  Andy and I were so surprised!
* Family lunch at Costco...always puts a smile on our face.
* My favorite cereal was on sale at the commissary.  I love it when that happens!

Here's to being 30 and the Simple Things in life!
