Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving
Today is a big day for me. Today is the day that I say sayonara to my twenties and hello to my thirties.
It feels really strange to be in a new age bracket and yet I still feel the same. I still feel like the 17 year old who graduated high school. And the 19 year old who got married. And the 23 year old who ran a marathon. And the 26 year old who left Oregon and moved to Tennessee. Time passes by so quickly I can’t really believe that I’m here already! Now I am the 30 year old wife of 10.5 years. And the 30 year old aunt, daughter, sister. And the 30 year old small business owner. And the 30 year old blogger. :)
I thought it would be much harder to hit this milestone than it actually has been. I think 29 was a harder year to process than 30 has been so far. For practically the whole year I’ve been thinking of myself as 30 so now that I finally am, it doesn’t seem so old! Now I’m in my early thirties instead of my late twenties. I’m not an old 20 something, I’m a young 30 something :) I like that a whole lot better. And besides, no matter how old I get I will never catch up to my much older husband who is 33. He will always be older than me. Hey, it’s all about perspective, right?! Besides, these first 30 years have been really, really great. I hope the next 30 years are as well. I will leave you with a picture of Jason and I taken just a couple of weeks ago. Please, no comments about how old I look :) haha
Hello, and welcome to my little blog! What started out as a blog to show some of my scrapbook pages ended up being a blog that shows all of my projects, ranging from scrapbooking to decorating to sewing to photography. I also run a little online shop called

Happy Birthday Kellie!
Kellie!
Happy Birthday, my friend! What a great post about time flying! I remember feeling the same way about having a harder time with 29 than with 30. And can’t believe it’s been so long since the marathoning Oregon days. :) time sure does fly. You look great, you’re an inspiration and SUCH an encourager. I LOVE your blog and LOVE seeing your pictures. SO hoping that we can see you again…maybe on our next journey back to KS? Lots of love to you both….
YAY!! Mine was last week. I had no idea our birthdays were so close! Happy 30!!! I did the same thing with 29, thinking I was basically 30, and you’re right, it does make actually turning 30 easier. :) No one believes me when they find out I’m 30 though, and I’m sure it’s the same way with you!! We’ll look 30 when we turn 40! :) Cheers to that!! Anyway, I hope your day is a GRAND one!!
Awww…that first paragraph just about made me cry. Beautiful. And that you are: beautiful.
you’re still a spring chick – and since I’m not suppose to comment on how old you look I won’t mention that you still look like a kid……
well happy birthday! I must say, I’ve ordered from your shops a couple of times in the past. I just did again recently but this time when I ordered I also got pointed to your blog(s). a couple days later I’d been through eeeeverything. i love it all. your house is wonderful. my favorite was when i got back far enough to see the before of the ugly fireplace wall and gasped because I’d seen how good it looks now. made me want to go paint. and then I did. so then my order came in the mail and it was like a celebrity-autograph moment for me. yay. so there ya have it.
