30 doesn't seem so old from this end

I had been seriously dreading turning 30. It always seemed so "grown up". But now that I'm finally here I guess I don't feel as old as I thought I would. Everyone tells me that the 30's are fantastic. Well, I sure hope so.
I had the best birthday on Saturday. Marc and I went to the temple early in the morning. We hadn't been in years. It's always been so hard to find babysitters for Alec and then to have to drive 2 hours each way on top of everything else made it pretty much impossible. Now we have a temple just 15 minutes from us and my wonderful mom has moved back to town so we have babysitting all the time. That has been a real treat - dates. Who knew? Well, after the temple Marc went to hapkido with the kids, and my mom and I went out to lunch. Did you know Red Robin will give you a free burger on your birthday? I love that place! After hapkido and lunch, Marc and I went out with our friends to see Harry Potter in IMAX 3D. If you are a Potter fan you must see it in 3D. There's nothing quite like seeing He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named larger than life. After that adventure we went out to eat at Cheesecake Factory. They have the best Thai Lettuce Wraps ever. Oh, and Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake. I may have actually drooled when they brought it to me.
I had such a fantastic time hanging out with Jen and Chris. You ever meet someone and realize you have so much in common that it feels like you have known them your entire life? Their company is what made this birthday so great. Thanks guys!
Okay, off to more doctor appts for Alec. I wrote another PS tut for my cousin Jenny so I'll post it here when I get a chance. Have a great day!!!
