The BIG 30

Yesterday was my birthday and i turned 30! YEAH! What a great day it was. I woke up at 4:45am to go for a run with my friend Kelley, remember we are in Chicago and its a sweaty 103 degrees here. So at 5am it was probably only 85 degrees with 100 percent humidity, you can guess we didn't run the whole time. When i got back i walked my dogs and went to breakfast with Brad and the girls. Olivia gave me two cards, one from her and Whit and the other from Brad. The girls card was hand made and was as sweet as could be. Brad's card was so exciting. It had a trip for two to CO in October! I was so excited i could hardly stand it! 4 night away from everything. I can't wait!

When we got home i had a sitter come and watch the girls so i could get my licensees renewed, seriously they make you renew it at 30 and charge you $30 to do it. Oh the state of Illinois how i do love your scandalous money sucking ways. I got home fed the girls lunch and then we all napped for 2.5 hours, heavenly! I got up and Brad got home early, so a girlfriend and i went to get pedicures. They were amazing. We got home and set up for a small BBQ we were having with a couple friends. It was so nice to be able to hang out with everyone and spend some quality time with the people i love.

I was exhausted by 930 and we hit the sack!

It was a great 30th birthday. My hubby and i are hitting the town Saturday night for dinner, i can't wait!

Whitney's 1st Birthday

My Darling Whitney turned 1 on July 3rd. I can't believe that she is already a toddler. This year has just flown by. She has brought so much fun, joy, laughter and a ton of LOVE into our lives. She again in my heart walking outside my body. It was so great going from a family of 3 to a family of 4. The transition felt pretty natural to us. It's still shocking to me when i look at both of my girls. They are the loves of my life. They are little mini mes and i just adore them every single day! We had a great party with great family and friends. We are so grateful and thankful for our family and friends. Miss Whintey just had a blast and so did we! Happy Birthday Whitney we love you with all our hearts!
