I can't believe I'm 30!!

I really don't care about getting older, but it's hard to believe that I'm really and truly 30 years old now! I had a wonderful birthday on Friday thanks to my sweet husband who gave me a day off while he stayed home with the kids. I left the house at 9:00, before Spencer even woke up, and first dropped the van off to get an oil change. (I couldn't not do something useful while I was out!) The place was right next to the mall so I headed over there, stopping in Barnes and Nobles first. Daniel surprised me by getting me a Nook eReader, which I picked up there and stayed to get registered and all set up. Daniel has been working hard to convince me that the eReaders have enough advantages over paper books to be worth trying, and after testing it out, I now agree! I'll definitely still read paper books, but the Nook is very cool. I enjoyed the rest of the day shopping, reading, and eating lunch all by myself. It was wonderful!! The best part about going away was coming home. When I pulled into the garage, Esther and Spencer were at the door smiling and waving at me. They're not usually so excited to see me since I'm always with them! Daniel had dinner ready to go, yummy chicken alfredo and delicious homemade apple pie for dessert. It was a a great birthday!!



We downloaded a bunch of free books and church stuff for starters and they work great. The best part is reading in bed, it's so much lighter than holding a 300 page book above my head!
