On Turning 30

I had a delightful time celebrating my thirtieth birthday...

I got to go on a date with this handsome guy (and his adorable daughter) while Gramma and Pappy watched the boys.

(We found a local restaurant that sells gluten free paninis! What a treat!)

We enjoyed a lunch out with Riley's family and my parents (which we of course neglected to photograph).

And enjoyed a delicious chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting back at home!

It was laid back, simple, stress free, and absolutely perfect for this postpartum, sleep deprived Mama.

I do not resent turning 30. I'm actually thrilled to have made it to the stage of life where you're officially considered mature.

;)

God's tender mercies have been made new to me every morning for thirty years now. 

His blessings abound.

I am so thankful!!
