Saying Good Bye For a Week ......

...to my son was by far the hardest thing I had to do so far this year. He left on my birthday to science camp and came back today. Even though I was sad to be apart from him I was really excited that he was having this awesome experience.

I was so excited to go get him today though. His sister and I got to his school really early and waited patiently for those darned buses to arrive.

along with all the other parents we waited and waited and waited and when a bus would come around the corner my heart would start beating faster...only to be let down because those buses were empty.....but all of a sudden....

one by one.....

The buses all arrived!!! Christina and I waited patiently as the kids made their way out of the busses. C was in the third bus and as he made his way toward us I tried hard to hold the tears back. I was so happy to finally see this face after a very long week:

He had a blast and came home telling us all sorts of science camp stories. Just seeing him and hearing how much fun he had all week made everything worthwhile :)

Happy Birthday To Me......

Today marks the beginning of a new decade for me. I leave my 20's behind and begin my 30's. I cant believe time has gone by so quickly. So many things have happened, so many changes. I can honestly say that I feel content beginning my 30's....I mean, its so weird, I dreaded being this age for so long and now that it is finally here I am ok with it. I am happy. I have the love of my husband, a home we can call our own and create our own memories in, and two beautiful children that brighten up my world. I am embracing my age and everything that will come along with this decade. My 20's were good and I am positive my 30's will be even better!

With all that said. My birthday fell on a Monday. I took the day off and spent it with my husband. Little C went off to camp that morning(info on that experience will come in my next post), and Christina spent some of the morning with me and then was taken to her ninos and ninas home to take pics with the easter bunny. I got a mani/pedi then met up with my family and had some awesome dinner. Good food with good company. I couldnt have asked for a better B-day :)

and now for some pics:

Delicious food at my favorite breakfast place Stacks in Campbell. Yum!!!!!

Making Christina smile at Stacks

We had dinner at Chevys and in most of the pics we took I looked like I was totally wasted when I was not! lol and if you dont believe me....here is an example:

Well ok...maybe it might be because I am sipping my delicious strawberry margarita out of the PITCHER! but yea...I'ts my party and I'll drink if I want to! :P

Anyway the night was awesome....A good time was had by all....:)

Six Word Memoir

The other day I was told about this awesome site called Six Word Memoirs and I thought hard about what mine would be. It had to be something that would describe my life in six words....this is what I came up with:

Young mom gave it all, Succeeded

I liked it beacause it works in so many ways and it made me realize how far I have come. Not just in life, but as a mom, a woman, a wife, etc. etc.

It is definitely a site to check out. What would yours be?

Where have the years gone?

As I sit here blogging away. I cant help but feel very surprised at how fast these years have gone. In a few months I will be turning the big 3-0 and I am terrified. Where have the years gone? I remember the times when I didnt have a care in the world. When everything was so easy. When all I had to do in my day was go to school and come home, do homework and make sure my room was clean. Now my days are spent making sure that my kids do that with their day. I think back to the days when I would ask myself, "Am I grown up yet?" "Am I an adult?" Well I'm going to be 30 soon and I still ask myself that same question.

I guess I am rambling, but I would rather blog about it then talk someones ear off about this.

Maybe one of these days soon enough it will come to me.......
