Goodbye 20's....Hello 30's!!!

Yesterday I celebrated my 30th Birthday! We went out with my family on Monday night to the Texas Roadhouse in Ogden. I know, we always go there, but it is one of our favorites and we know we will like it!
We met Grandma & Grandpa Brower, Matt, Nat, and Hallie there.
Despite the snow storm we had to drive home in, it was a fun evening and we all got our fill of rolls and yummy food!!! Luckily, I didn't have to sit on the saddle! Something about being 8 1/2 months pregnant makes sitting on the saddle 100 times worse than it already is! On Tuesday (my actual Birthday), Nick was home from work by 9:30 so I could go get my hair done before we went out for the day. By the time I got home, Nick had baked me a chocolate cake and taken Kaylee to preschool. I was pretty excited to see the chocolate cake!!! We made arrangements with Jana to watch the kids for the day while Nick and I went to lunch and did some shopping. We first met up with our friends Virginia and Randall at Olive Garden for some lunch. YUMMY! Not only was the food great but we also shared a piece of really chocolaty chocolate cake! It was amazing!!!
We headed to Ikea after lunch, which was the first time Nick and I had been shopping there. (I went a few weeks ago and got a sneak peek of what it was all about!). We wanted to find Kaylee some new furniture for her room and had quite a bit of success! By 4:30 we were done and headed back home to pick up the kids. I got the kids some dinner and then headed to the church for the RS Birthday Dinner. I figured since all of my friends (which are in my ward) were going to be there, it would be a fun way to spend my Birthday! They did a mystery type dinner where we had to guess who the real Emma Smith was.
It was a fun night and they even sang happy birthday to me! I sat next to some of my good friends, including Rachel Youngberg. I really enjoy the RS women of our ward! They are all the sweetest women and they each have taught me so much about being a mom and wife!
I had a fantastic day! I got spoiled from my family and friends! Nick got me the Glee 5 CD and the Journey to Sectionals Glee CD along with my favorite Peanut M&M's. And he gave me some money to buy some new running shoes! So as soon as I have the baby and can get out and about I am going to the running store to do some shopping! :) I am a little sad to think I am not in my 20's anymore, but I am going to embrace the next decade of my life and make the most of being in my 30's.
