30!

This year Eric and I both turned 30, so we decided to have big birthday parties. I had a Halloween costume party for Eric at Burdette Park. Then, I had a travel-themed birthday party at La Quinta Inn that included food from the various countries we have travelled to. One of my birthday cakes was even a suitcase!

I know some people have issues with turning 30, and I guess if I were given a choice, I would choose to stay in my 20's, but I think I'm ok with being 30, especially when I think of all the things I've accomplished before turning 30, most of which happened in the past five years:

1. Finished my Masters degree (in addition to 2 Bachelors degrees)
2. Had 1 child
3. Got married (and have been married for 5 years)
4. Own a decent-sized home
5. Travelled to 11 different countries (including various countries in Europe twice, Jamaica twice, Mexico, and Canada)
6. Work full-time hours as a music therapist

I will have to work hard to top all this in the next 30 years!
