If you were at all worried I wouldn't survive my 30th birthday, fear not: I am alive. I survived any and all birthday celebrations, spent all of yesterday recovering AND made it on time to my first day of work at my new job today!
As ya'll know, my weekend was jam packed with birthday fun and friends. All of my very best friends in the world traveled near and far to be able to kick off our year of 30th birthday celebrations. (Yes, I have the pleasure of being the oldest in our group.) We don't...

I'm 30 Tomorrow!
Good morning pretties! I have some time before my next dental appointment (aargh) and thought that since tomorrow is MY BIRTHDAY, I'd do one last update on my 30 before 30 list.
Unfortunately, I know I didn't make all of these, but I'm OK with what I did get done!After all, I did just create this list in March. I'll add the remaining items to my 40 before 40 list and I'll have a whole decade to knock 'em down!

Weekend Update: September So Far
So far this summer, I'm doing a gang-bang job of updating this beast a whopping 1-2 times per week. Sorry 'bout that.
PS: Has anyone every heard the phrase "gang-bang job"? I don't know where it came from, but it flew off my fingers in a way that frightened me, mostly because it involved the words "gang bang." I think I meant to say "bang-up job." Oh well. It stays. You're welcome.
So, here's a couple of weekend updates for you in one. This past weekend, we were finally at home in Chicago with...

Happy September! AKA Best Month Ever
OMG, HI!
That's the sound of me, exhaling the deepest breath you can imagine. The summer is finally over. Normally I wouldn't rejoice, but this year, I am. After 9 weeks of nonstop activity—traveling, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, weddings, visitors, trips home—I can finally stop. Briefly, anyway.
AND it's September, which means it's my birthday month! In just 25 days, I will enter the next decade of my life, and I plan to embrace it with open arms.
September is the best month, not...
