I turned 30 yesterday.
This morning Brandon asked if I feel 30 and if I feel any different. Of course this is the sort of question that people ask everyone on their birthday, no matter how old they turn. But for some reason, I think most people consider the 30th birthday a "special" one, an "important" one, and a birthday that is just different from other birthdays.
While I don't feel 30 (I am not sure exactly what 30 feels like), I can say that I feel "different," not in the physical sense, but in the spiritual/emotional/mental sense. I feel like I see the world differently now, like I am some wise spiritual guru who just knows more. Because that's how it feels now--like I just know more (and not in the book sense).
Perhaps the single most important thing that I know now that I didn't 2 years ago, is that I love being a mom. I love everything there is about being Max's mom, even the temper tantrums when we have to leave the park. Sure, there are days where I get a little stressed out and need some time to myself, but more often than not, I can't think of a place I would rather be than chilling with Max. Obviously I am only 2 years into this gig, so it's a little early to judge, but I think I am pretty good at this mother thing. More importantly, though, I love it and can't see myself doing anything else.

You are a GREAT mom. Yo are also a Great daughter. Dad and I love you mucho.
Couldn't ask for a better daughter-in-law. I think your birthday card darn near said it all.
As for Max, he's a hoot. Wait till you get to be my age (59 tomorrow 5/20)and you'll know if you feel any older simply by trying to keep up with a toddler like Max. Always on the go!
I couldn't have said it better. You are a fantastic mom. Joe and I are thrilled that our grandson has such incredible parents. Max is one very lucky little boy.
