30...

well, as of today, I'm 30. A whole new age range. Strange. It feels really strange to not be officially in my 20's anymore. Then again, it doesnt' feel any different at all. *shrug* whatever. This morning was strange though, I was feeling totally overloaded with stuff/decisions. The move, Norah's baptism, the house cleaning, what to do today. I don't know...some days I feel like I'm dancing on the edge of post-partum depression - or maybe I'm just a little nuts in general. Birthdays don't seem to help either. Too much pressure. Especially after talking to my mom, who wanted to know what was happening when. I don't know yet! So, I had a cry. Not a big one, but a little one. It helped...then I needed to clean my glasses. You would think at my advanced, mature (right) age, after 15 years of wearing glasses that I would learn to take them off when I cry! Apparently not. :)

So, we went shopping. Old Navy to exchange a sleeper for Norah for a bigger size. Got some great deals too. Pants for Isaac at $5 each. 2 dresses for Norah at $4, one for $7. She won't fit them for a while, but what a deal! Got both kids hat/mitten sets - too cute. Rob got pants, a sweater and a scarf. Other random stuff for the kids. I got a scarf. It's really nice, but HEY isn't it MY birthday - and all I got was a scarf!?! Oh well.

Mom came by with a gift for me this afternoon. Then Dad came by with gifts too. I was totally spoiled by them, it was great. Rob gave me gifts on Christmas (that were birthday gifts). Sean and Leslie came by to watch Isaac so we could go out for dinner. Yum - Thai food. Going to miss that in Meadow Lake....

Talked to Mike tonight - he is officially engaged to Maritizia (spelling?). No wedding date set yet. I'm happy for him, if he thinks this is the one for him, that's great! Then I found out Corie and Scott are expecting. I literally jumped up and down and cried when I heard that. I am so happy for them. SO HAPPY. They are going to be great parents.

I knew when Corie visited after Norah was born that she would be expecting soon. She has been more and more into children every time I see her. Funny from a girl that was convinced that she never wanted children at all. God can really work in our hearts....and I'm glad that this is going to be happening for them. I'm just so glad - what great news for me to get on my birthday!
