Current mood: loved
Thats right! I am officially "over the hill"... YIKES!!! Haha But I am loving it. Adrian, Mia, my new little one in my tummy along with my friends and family... have truly made this day special for me and I feel so blessed.
We have plans to visit Oxnard this weekend to celebrate my BIG 30! with my family, so instead of taking today off like Adrian always does, we decided to have him take tomorrow off so we can do up there a day early! With that being said, we couldn't do too much today since he had to go to work, but we did what we could and both Adrian and Mia made my day extra special for me.
There is a little tradition my Dad and I used to do when I was younger. Every birthday Eve I would stay up until 12am (if possible), and when 12am would strike and its was officially my birthday we would celebrate together. I carried that tradition over when I met Adrian. This year, however, Adrian had to drive into work so I would be alone at 12am. I was alittle saddened by this but it was understandable. So when midnight approached and it hit 11:58pm, I snuck up to Mia's room and sat by her bedside till the clock hit 12am. I felt so happy spending my first moments as 30 with my kids! Mia and my baby in my tummy. I gently gave Mia a kiss on the head, rubbed my tummy, then went back downstairs for a snack before bed. At 12:02am my phone rang and it was Adrian!!! He remembered my tradition and called me from work. That made me feel so loved!!! We chatted a bit then I headed off to bed.
The morning was nice. Though Mia did wake up a bit early, we spent the morning hanging out and enjoying each other's company. When noon hit I asked her if she wanted to wake up Dada! She jumped off the couch and ran to the stairs. We climbed them together and she followed me into the master bedroom. She was all excited to wake up Dada and I put her on the bed! All three... errr... four of us hung out in the bed for a bit and played. I was still pretty tired from the night before and decided to take a small nap. So Adrian took Mia downstairs, fed her some snacks then put her down for a nap as well.
When I woke from my nap Adrian was gone!! I jumped on the computer to mess with some stuff then heard the garage door open. It was Adrian. He walked in with a BIG cup of my favorite soup from Vons. They only carry it on Thursdays and he decided to surprise me with some. We shared the soup and chatted a bit. Then Mia woke up so he went upstairs to get her.
When she came back down she was holding a card in her hand. Adrian told her to "give it to Mama" and she walked over to me and handed me the card! I melted!!! It was the cutest thing ever! Then of course, she took it back and tried to rip it!! So I took it back from her and we went to the table where Adrian had a GIANT Oreo cookie icecream cake waiting for me!!! YUM!!! I helped him light the millions of candles and he and Mia sang Happy Birthday to me while Mia sat in my lap. The whole time they were singing to me... well it was more like Adrian singing to me.. Mia was putting her tiny finger in my cake and eating the frosting and going "again?!" with the biggest smile on her face! That little cake monster turned my cake into a holey one! haha
After I was sung the birthday song, I asked Mia to help me and we both blew on the candles. I tried to blow out all the candles but couldn't. (I MUST be getting old!) There were still two left to be blown out. So I took one and held it in front of Mia and asked her to blow it out. Though she knows how to blow I really didn't think she could blow it out. To our shock she did!!!! and we captured it on video too! She was all giggly and proud of herself. So I took the other candle out of the cake and put it in front of her. She blew that one out too all by herself!!! We all cheered!
Adrian then cut the cake for me and we all ate some cake. Mia included! She loved it and pretty soon had cake all over the place! I then read my cards and of course got all emotional like I always do during card readings. I also opened my present which was from Mia and her sibling.. it was a giant pack of Oreo cookies!!! (Can you tell what my favorite cookie is?! haha) My BIG present from Adrian, Mia and the baby was my new Advanced Digital Camera!!!! He bought it for me over the weekend and though he said I could only use it for 1 day to "test" it out, I never stopped using it. Infact I was taking pictures with it during my birthday! haha Its a awesome camera though and a HUGE upgrade from my old one. I am in camera heaven!!!
So after the gifts, cake and cards we all rested a bit and watched some TV. When we gained our appetite back again we headed off to Red Robin for dinner!! That is one of my favorite local food places. After gorging ourselves there we headed home to hang out a bit before Adrian had to go to work.
Overall I had a AWESOME birthday! I couldn't ask for anything more! What a great way to bring in my 30th year... with my little family! I feel so happy and blessed.. and pooped out! Its time for this birthday girl to go to bed!!! haha
