Instant Smart

Well the BIG 3-0 and I met yesterday and I AM IN LOVE!

My 30th birthday month was absolutely fantastic, I'd have to say it was the best one yet!

As most of you know I celebrate birthday months not just days and I am a huge lover of birthday celebrations. 30 creeped up on me, but it did not slap me in the face. I'm as excited as ever and even feel a tad younger with more pep in my step.

The added pep could be because I have amazing friends and family that made sure this birthday was extra special. Here is a list of exciting news and things I was blessed to have enter my special "month"........

Being told I would have guessed 25! YAY!
WOW! You are a hot 30! YAY!
Laptop...even though this is a couples gift for the wedding I'm counting it because it came the weekend of my birthday.
FLIP camera in HD...the coolest little video recorder of them all...IT ROCKS!
My baby flew to town and we had a blast
I got over 60 phone calls, text messages and emails....I've never felt so loved!
Even my best friend Melissa called from China! HOW SPECIAL DO I FEEL!
Amazing STEAK dinner at Mortons, bring on the wine! :)
Pool party times 2...yes 2 in one weekend!
Carrie Underwood, Clay Walker, Little Jimmy Dickens and the Cherryholmes at the Grand Ole Opry
You look great for 30 (which made me wonder how bad i looked at 29 cause I never got that comment once. LOL!)
And the best most meaningful gift of them all was a statement my dad emailed me that came from my mom.....

From the mouth of the most amazingly beautiful wonderful mother to her daughter years after her death.....

"Girls become INSTANT SMART and everything becomes very clear on their 30th birthday"

You just can't top that, but I guarantee I will try every birthday I am blessed to have!

I love you all and thank you so very much for making my entrance to the 30's so incredibly amazing!

Here's to INSTANT SMART....CHEERS!
