Happy Birthday to Me

Well, I'm 30 now. My birthday was yesterday. I had to laugh when my friend of over 20 years (wow that phrase makes me sound old!), Kate, said "Katie, you're 30 first!" It used to be cool to be a few months older than all of my gal pals...I got to be the first to drive, the first to vote, the first to drink, etc....but now, I'm the first to turn 30. Somehow, being the oldest is suddenly NOT the coolest!! (Thanks Kate! :) ) All the same, I had a nice night with my little family. We grilled a steak and veggies and opened a bottle of wine. Daddy came home with some roses after work, and then while I gave Audrey a bath and put her to bed, he ran back to the store for cake and sweet cards from him and Audrey. The best of all, Daniel suffered through the entire 2 hour season premier of Grey's Anatomy by my side. He thinks the show is completely ridiculous...but he watched all of it with me. What a trooper. (I too think the show is pretty ridiculous. Based on my own experiences as a resident, it has very little or no basis in reality. It is pretty entertaining though, and never fails to suck me in!) So that was my 30th birthday - spent surrounded by my sweet little family. I could not ask for more! :)
