Am I really 30?
Well, today's the day I turn 30. Wow. 30. In honor of this momentous occasion, I thought I would share 30 interesting (or boring) things about myself. Here it goes...
- I was incredibly shy as a kid...seriously shy.
- I used to have a blanket (binkie) that I carried everywhere.
- My mom read somewhere that if you cut a child's blanket smaller and smaller, it will be easier for the child to give up said blanket.
- I still miss my binkie ;)
- I'm incredibly clumsy.
- My dad's nickname for me was Grace because I was (and still am) so clumsy.
- My mom used to call me Lucy.
- I had stitches twice by the time I was 2 years old.
- I don't like being told what to do.
- I usually do the opposite.
- I used to think a napkin was "an ackin"
- It drives me crazy when people say "supposably"...its supposedly!
- It also drives me crazy when people use "I" when they should use "me" ex: this is a picture of Ava and I ....NO! Its Ava and ME!
- I thought I wanted to major in English. That is, until I realized you can't do a whole heck of a lot with an English degree.
- I majored in Sociology. *pause for laughter*
- I'm a teacher.
- I love being a teacher.
- I love being a mommy even more!
- Its the hardest job I've ever had.
- Its the best job I've ever had!
- Speaking of jobs, I was a credit card collector in college.
- People spend money on dumb crap.
- Aaron and I went on our first date almost 10 years...holy moly!
- In our first 3 years of marriage, we moved 6 times.
- I hate moving.
- I hate change even more.
- I'm a champion sleeper...or I used to be.
- I used to think 30 was O-L-D!
- I now know that EVERYTHING is relative!
- I think I will enjoy my 30's even more than my 20's!
Thanks for indulging me on my birthday :)

Welcome to the 30's...it's even better than the 20's!
Happy Birthday, Kelly!
I hope you have a MOST FABULOUS day :-)
Happy Birthday! This was sweet to read. You forgot to mention that you use to aspire to write your own books!! (Remember Keldy & Jessie and their little teal/purple cars--what were those cars called anyways?). Have a GREAT day! I think you are right, the 30's just mean even better things ahead for us.
Thanks girls! Y'all are awesome!
Jannifer...I totally remember those "books"!! I seriously thought about them last night! What did we "title" them? I'm sure I still have them somewhere. Those cars were Geo Storms...why did we think they were so cool?! We were hilarious!
Happy Birthday, Kelly! I hope you had a great day! Your tidbits about you were pretty funny! And, I never wanted to major in English or anything, but it really bothers me when people say things wrong, too....like simular instead of similar. My mom was an English major and she has corrected me my whole life on EVERYthing.
OMG, GEO STORMS! I could not think of the name and now I am laughing telling Dave about our cars. I would love to see those old stories, we were funny. I have a book that my mom saved that I wrote in elementary school which I dedicated to my brother about not being afraid to go to school. Maybe we missed our calling and we are both supposed to be writing--hmm? English major.
