It's my birthday... gonna party like... it's my birthday

So, I'll be 30 on the 19th. It's okay. I kinda dig it. The older I get, the better I get. I wouldn't change the confidence I've gained in myself and my beliefs for any part of my 20's. My 20's were a bit tumultuous. I didn't do anything bad, I just had a lot of upheaval. I got married, had two babies and was/am genuinely disenchanted with the way my life has turned out. I love my kiddos, love my husband and love my role as their mother and his wife, but I have this feeling deep in my heart that I should be doing more to make myself happy. Thus my decision to go to law school; and I've never had so much peace. Not because of "law school" but because I'm "doing" more. I've decided.  

I believe that my RETURN TO SATURN is directly responsible for this development in my life. I felt I was on the wrong path. Settling. Moving along. Not living. Not producing. Not contributing. Someone once said to me, " You have to stop thinking about doing, and just do." And I mulled over that sentence for three years. I'm not kidding. Three years. I tried to find an outlet for my energy in paths of "least resistance" but I kept coming back to law school. I know that God has a plan for me and I think the RETURN TO SATURN... which may be the time in everyone's life that God's voice becomes particularly loud for all... is more than a mere correlation. I believe it is to be.

To celebrate my birthday...

We're off to Disneyland this weekend. Just me and Rich. Three blissful nights away from diapers, bottles, shoes and socks, bath time, laundry and housework. YAY!!! It's been almost two years since Rich and I had a night away together. The last time was in February 2009 and for only about 15 hours to a local resort. Needless to say, this trip is long overdue and I'm super happy to get away with my husband and have some "boyfriend/girlfriend" time! The part that excites me the most is that I will NOT be pushing a stroller. WOOT!

And of course, Disneyland... well that wasn't even a hard choice. Originally we thought, VEGAS BABY! But then we both started talking... and talking... and... wow, will gambling really be THAT much fun that it will keep us busy for THREE DAYS?? Ya... I work too hard for my money to give it away. So, we're saving Vegas for another time.

Can't wait to start the new decade in my life!!!
