The Big 3-0

This post is long overdue but life has been especially crazy lately. My wonderful husband turned 30 about a week and a half ago and let me tell ya, it was a rough one for him! You always think that women have a hard time with getting older, but maybe it's the athlete in Matt that made this one hard. 30 is definitely the age where you are considered 'old' when it comes to sports. Even though he's been done playing for a while, he still prides himself for being a good athlete, which he still is, but things are definitely different now! But through his sorrows, I think he had a good birthday! I had strict orders NOT to throw a party, so I pushed the limits as far as I could and had our families over for dinner at our house. We ordered from his favorite restaurant, Uncle Sam's, and then had his favorite ice cream cake for dessert. For his present, his parents, my parents and me bought him a big new office furniture set. Since he got his new job last fall and started working from home, he had been working on our old kitchen table from IKEA that we bought when we first got married. The poor guy works so hard every day I thought it was time he got a 'real' desk. He absolutely loves it. Happy birthday to the best husband I could ask for!
