EGADS im 30!

Honestly just the sound of me being 30 years old sounds impossible! Not that it's old, but this milestone has seriously has snuck up on me (along with turning 20, 25, and 29).

30 year old club 

(best friends since we were 14 y/o)

Hurray i'm 30! Not sure what I (and the universe) have/has planned for me this decade, but I think it'll be a good one! Places to go, people to see and meet, food to eat, things to experience, babies to watch grow, and just enjoy this gift of waking up each day. I am thankful to be living this long when there are people out there just fighting to live another day.

{30 things that make me happy} 

1. Max (in all his entirety)
2. husband, family, friends
3. husband's forearms and general physique. i think he's as fit as some 30 y/o 
4. my mom's cooking. THE BEST. Especially sinigang, kare kare, and Christmas ham
5. Moe, extra affectionate in the morning like clockwork as he knows im about to feed him
6. hanging out with friends and even if it's not as often, it always feels like nothing's changed
