So this has been a fun month. I turned 30, and Matt is still 29, so he has been counting down the days (for months now)! haha He loves to point out that I'm the older lady. Ah well, I love 30!

| Celebrating the big 3-0 with my aunt and family friend |
One of the best parts of the month was my parents coming down to surprise me the weekend of my birthday! They flew in (with another aunt and uncle) on Saturday, and had to fly back out on Sunday. How lucky am I?! Unfortunately, no pics of that day.
Another thing that I loved about this birthday, and want to make an annual thing was celebrating 30 by doing 30 Random Acts of Kindness. This was nothing crazy or expensive, just 30 things to make someone else smile or have a good day. One of my favorites was hiding a $1 bill in the toy bin at Dollar Tree.

I also asked friends and family on Facebook to join in, and that was the best part-- hearing the stories of what others did. People bought groceries for strangers, donated baby clothes to a new mom in need, volunteered, held doors, made things, and more. It was awesome!

Other than the big birthday, it's been a quiet month. Matt and I both got sick again (after the flu in November, we thought we were good for this season!), so getting over that still. Matt gets to go home in a few weeks for great friend's wedding. And we can't wait for the Super Bowl this weekend, even though both of our teams (Giants and Panthers) didn't even make the playoffs this year. Go commercials!
