Today I turn the big 3-0. Yep....the birthday I've been dreading for the past several years is finally HERE. But, thanks to a wonderful husband, great sisters and great friends, it's really been a great day so far! And...I started praying about a week ago that I'd have a good attitude today and I think that has helped a lot! So, I was trying to decide what 30 things to post for my 30th birthday. I decided to post 30 memories. I tried to mainly list happy memories but there are a few not so happy ones in there! These were just off the top of my head-there are so many more that I could list that I just didn't put on there. And I noticed that most of the ones that popped into my head were recent ones, so I tried to go back a little too. Ok, enough! I'll just list them now! :) oh, one more thing-these are in no particular order.
30 memories I have from the past 30 years
1. My first date with Rusty
2. Rusty proposing
3. My wedding day
4. The first 6 months of living in Indy-cried pretty much every day!
5. Rusty's horrible sunburn on our honeymoon
6. The day I found out that I had to have surgery if I ever wanted to get pregnant
7. The moment I found out I was pregnant
8. Laura's taking me to the hospital-and her reaction when I told her I was being admitted
9. The moment Ella was born
10. The first time Ella smiled at me
11. Going to Europe with Rusty on the best vacation ever!
12. Realizing God's perfect plan when I got hired at my current job a week after being fired from a job I hated.
13. Watching Pride & Prejudice with my sisters all night (hellooo Mr. Darcy)
14. Camping with my grandparents in their pop-up camper
15. Totalling Rusty's car in college

Happy Birthday, Bita! I barely know you (which makes this comment a bit stalkerish) LOL, and I think most of what I know comes from Lissa! But from all I do know...you are such a great woman and friend to Lissa! Hope your 30th was fantastic!
