Que the "Loser" Sound from The Price Is Right

I became thirty years old today. And the title of this blog is merely meant to be facetious as I actually really like the idea. I feel more wise and like my life and the way I got to it more with every passing year. So, if this is the beginning of the "old" that I've heard so much about, I welcome it with open arms.
We had a nice, slow paced day at work where everyone was receptive to my Unicorn Sandwiches that I made for my birthday dessert. I came home to a rather impatient and pushy Dustin who was "hungry. Like right now hungry" and offered for us to go to Blondie's. I was pretty content sitting on the porch eating my birthday gift from Megan. I wasn't feeling much like stuffing my 30 year old body and near 6 month old baby belly into a dress but... I did. And I am glad because we were greeted with a table full of patiently waiting friends and family. Surprise! That was awesome.

We woke up early the next morning, packed up, set the pets up with my mother-in-law, and took off for the coast. It was a trip sponsored by my mom and two sisters as they were clued in by Dustin. We stayed at the adorable cozy Lowden's Beachfront Bed and Breakfast in Brookings which had the best view of the waves and river outlet.

As it was hailing upon our arrival, we were relieved to be forced to stay in. We cruised the awful cable and settled on my personal favorite... The Rock of Love with Brett Michaels: Season 3. Intrigued, I feel asleep next to a fascinated Dustin. We made reservations at The Nautilus and ate until beyond stuffed. Barfy stuffed. In a good way.

The next morning, after setting off the fire alarm over a burnt croissant (my bad. figures), we headed toward The Trees of Mystery. SO MUCH FUN HAD HERE. Right up our alley.


We took our time coming home and even went to a movie to make the weekend last that much longer.


It was perfect.

A lovely babymoon.

A lovely 30th birthday weekend.

I am so glad that you guys had such a great weekend at the coast! How funny, the "Do not molest the trees and shrubs" sign was one of our favorite parts of the Trees of Mystery. I'm also glad you gave in to going to dinner...it would have been a little awkward without you ;)
