This past week, I turned 31. I am now officially IN my 30s. I just looked back at my blog post about my 30th birthday, and realized just what a difference a year makes.
I spent the first six months of my thirtieth year pregnant with Lissie, and I spent the latter half of it enjoying the wonders of motherhood. And, of course, I wouldn't have it any other way.
As per tradition, my birthday spilled over into the entire week. On Saturday, Justin and I enjoyed a night without Lissie, watching a movie of my choosing ("The Help") and a tasty dinner at Whitfield's. Justin also decided to take my actual birthday off from work so we can celebrate as a family, going to storytime at the library, Mass at the Cathedral, a lovely picnic lunch at the park, a trip downtown so I could pick up my race packet and grab a beer along the way, and he cooked me the tastiest lo mein for dinner so I could get my noodles in to ensure a long life (a Filipino custom). Oh, and Sweet Cece's froyo for dessert :-) On Friday, I celebrated with my parents and Lissie as we went out to a pre-half-marathon Italian dinner at Amerigo's before I dropped the babe off at their house so I can get my much needed rest before my big run.
So far, the start to my thirty-first year is looking good. I can't wait to see what's in store for the rest of it.

Lissie hated Centennial Park. Haha.

Happy birthday to me! :-)
