1. I am at Starbucks writing this post, enjoying my favorite birthday tradition- alone time with my Macbook and this:
2. I'm typing with only 9 fingers. I have an important tip for you: don't throw away your razor and then proceed to push down the trash as you take it out. You will slice off the top of your pinky finger, even if said razor was too dull to use on your legs {so silly...and so painful!}.
3. On the same note, don't ever try to catch a falling razor in the shower. You may have lightning fast reflexes, but your brain won't work as quickly as your muscles. Trust me. Again, very painful. Avoid this if you can. :/
4. Speaking of muscles...I've fallen in love with running again. After I started working out when I was 21, I decided one of my life long goals was to run a six minute mile. My first full mile in adulthood was somewhere around 14 minutes.
6. Being 30 is definitely physically different than being 21. My knee hurts when I run these days. I can work out for hours in a group fitness setting, but 2 miles on the trail kills my knee. Go figure.
7. Another someday goal of mine is to hike the rest of the 11 mile Kalalau Trail in Kauai. We did several miles of it last year and turned around because it was getting dark {we started too late}. Our dream is to sleep on the most beautiful beach on the world:

9. I sometimes dream of moving to Kauai, and I wonder if it's hedonistic to want to live somewhere so beautiful. Mountains, oceans, and beaches bring me to worship. Seriously, why does God even think about us? He is so, so big!! I would love to live somewhere and see all that beauty every single day.
10. I never thought I would be the outdoorsy type. Or that I would have four kids by the age of 26. But I love that they are both true now.
11. It's chaos sometimes {having four kids}, but it's so much fun too. They all brought me birthday cards this morning. They really do love me. And I love them more than they will ever probably know. :)
12. Speaking of loving more than one will ever know, my husband loves me a ridiculous amount. I am so, so, so blessed to be the wife of a handsome, strong, hard-working, God-fearing man. :D
13. He's planning a birthday party for me this weekend, and in the midst of it, he's working, remodeling our kitchen, and he took me out for a whirlwind birthday weekend in Dallas.
14. I LOVE that man.
15. We spend a lot of time together- I would guess more than the usual married couple. We hate being apart.
16. We've been together for almost 13 years. He took me to my senior banquet:
17. 10:17 is my favorite time of the day. Is your birthday your favorite time of the day too, or is that weird? haha!
18. I've fallen in love with Sonic ice. I can't get enough of it. A big 44 ounce cup of ice water makes me happy.
19. Did I tell you we were crazy? We're remodeling our kitchen {see #13}. Right now it looks like this:
20. And no lie, this is pretty good considering what it has looked like for the past week. We have a party at our house on Friday. :D
21. My finger still hurts, but I can't stop using it to type. What would I do without a pinky?
22. I tried a caramel skinny latte today for the first time. I found I actually prefer regular coffee.
23. That sweet man {see #12} has arrived to take me to lunch. So the last 7 will have to wait until tomorrow :D I'm off to enjoy my birthday! :D
