National 'Nette Day '08
Well, folks, I've made it three decades. Today is the big day. The day I turn 30. Youth, or whatever was left of it, is officially over. Now I'm just Living Life--kinda makes me wonder what I thought I was doing when I turned 20, but I wasn't blogging back then, so I can't remember.
It's sunny today. Yay! A bit chilly, though, but that's okay. The forsythia are brilliant. Ellis slept all night. And there's fun things to do.
So celebrate with me! Everyone drink root beer floats!

Many happy returns of the day and I just may have to take you up on that root beer float :) Should I put a candle on top in your honor?

Happy birthday! And if it makes you feel any better, you will always be younger than me! I survived turning 40 last year by approaching it with complete denial. Works for me!

Happy Happy Birthday, Jeannette! I was looking for an ecard last night to send you but just couldn't find a good one. Maybe I wasn't slap happy enough or something. Well, I can't believe you're 30! I'm joining you this year. It really is hard to believe that 20 was 10 years ago and that Hugs Wars with Jane & Esther and booby trapping mount Cono (and sending Sam up it) was even further back than that. I have a lot of great memories and many of them include you! Happy Birthday, Friend!

We all say, "Happy Birthday!!" from all the Stovers. We will at least have an ice cream cone in your honor, since we don't have any root beer. :)

Happy Birthday, Jeanette!! I turn 30 in May, and have been a little bit freaked out by this. But I don't think it's leaving youth behind, really....
Enjoy your day!

"kinda makes me wonder what I thought I was doing when I turned 20, but I wasn't blogging back then, so I can't remember."
This is totally why I'm blogging now with kids. . . Easier than baby books or scrapbooking. Hubby and I looked through some archives just this morning and laughed and amazed at how much the boys have grown.
Happy 30th!

Ohhh!! I feel like I've come knocking days late to the party: so sorry I missed the big celebration. A very happy 30 to you!
"I wasn't blogging back then, so I can't remember" -- that had me laughing. A bit scary how often I've turned to the blog for really important questions, like ... how many mappings have we had, is it time for vaccinations? Scary that we need 'external hard drives' for memories we once kept in our head! Beth
