Well the day has come ... I'm 30. I didn't think it would bother me and I really didn't think about it until this week. But so far today is going great ... Matt surprised me with a Chai Latte from Starbucks.

Matt gave me my presents last night:
+ A Remote Control Car: I have asked for every Christmas and birthday and never got one ... it is very cool and ScoutDog and IzzyCat enjoy playing with it too.
+ Hello Kitty Bath Set: Just so happy ... i have always loved Hello Kitty ... in kindergarten I had a Hello Kitty school bus pencil kit.
+ SimCity 4: I can now control my entire world and build and destroy my own city ... watch out.
+ Jewelry Box: I have been using an old white box for years ... I saw this one a year ago and Matt remembered.

But the best gift of all is that I get to spend the rest of my life with this great guy. I can't believe how lucky I am. I am married to my best friend ... I get to work and live my passion ... my family is healthy and happy ... and I have the best dog and cat in the world.

Tonight we are starting the party at the Rio with margaritas ... my fav ... then on to the 1st Annual Jen's 30th Birthday Bowling Tournament. Watch out everyone ... I'll post the results tomorrow. (I know ... I know ... that incorrect use of "1st Annual" is probably driving all of those editors out there crazy ... but it is a little joke between Matt and I ... both journalism majors.)

Well I'm going to do a little work on paintings this morning and then am planning on taking the afternoon off ... we'll see how it goes.
