Where's Owen?

30

It's official . . . I'm old. Just kidding. I was a little worried about turning 30 but now that I'm 30 and two days I feel fine. I do feel a little more like a grown up though. Oh well.

So here are 30 random things about me that you may not know:

1. I had bleach blond hair for a couple of years
2. I really want a motorcycle
3. I want an eyebrow piercing
4. I would love to be able to fix my car myself
5. I can't say Massachusetts correctly
6. I'm scared to death of flying but want to go sky diving
7. I started smoking when I was 15 and quit when I was 18
8. The first time I saw A Walk to Remember, I cried for 45 minutes after the movie ended
9. I think sugar-free is a bad word
10. I cannot poach an egg to save my life
11. I was in the color-guard in high school
12. I have reading glasses but never wear them
13. I always wanted to do gymnastics
14. I failed my first swimming lesson
15. I once got pulled over doing 88 in a 55 zone and had to go to traffic school
16. I always wanted a twin sister
17. I have a bad addiction to caffeine
18. I make Cody spell check everything before I post it
19. I drag raced once
20. I have a pirate's mouth (sorry, inside joke)
21. I'm related to the outlaws Bonnie and Clyde
22. I'm allergic to horses, cats, and dogs
23. I want to live in a town called Stars Hollow (if you know where that is, you're awesome)
24. I do not like cold weather
25. One of my least favorite shows in the world is Seinfeld
26. I love Egg McMuffins
27. I hate coffee
28. I like to make lists
29. I love fairy tales
30. I always wanted a tree house

So on a more serious note my goal for my thirties is to be better. To be a better wife, to be a better mother, to be a better friend, to be a better Christian, and just to be better. This song below reminds me of my goal. And that everyday is a new day to be better.

The Arch

So back in the end of July we went to a family reunion up in Illinois. And on our way there we stopped in St. Louis and saw the Arch. We didn't go up (the kids were kind-of fussy) but we did go to the museum and that was pretty cool. After that we took a carriage ride down on the waterfront which was also pretty cool.

LOL

Cody has been really desperately wanting to read Twilight, so I finally let him borrow my copy. OK so maybe desperately and wanting to are exaggerating just a bit. OK a LOT. Cody saw the movie Inception a couple of weeks ago with his brother (I didn't want to go see it, long story) and he comes home from the movie saying that I HAD to go see it. So he's like I'll read Twilight if you go see the movie. Knowing that this would probably be the only way I could ever get him to read the book, I agreed. The movie was actually really good, but I don't think he had a fun time with Twilight. Although a couple of times at night I heard laughing but I don't think it was the good kind of laughing. Now I have to figure a way to get him to read the other books.
