Turning 30 and "Sharing"

Whelp it is official I have left my twenties. I don't know why I wanted to make a big deal of turning 30. But, I wanted too. So Joel and I spent a couple of days in Vegas. Now Joel and I are really not Vegas people. I don't like to gamble and I am not a big drinker. But, Vegas was the destination and somehow very appropriate for ending the 20's era. Plus, my parents could come down and watch the kiddo for us.

I think this was the first time I had actually spent time in Vegas. I don't think I have ever been to the strip for more than a day (well, at least since I turned 21). Anyways, it was fun. I couldn't get over how much eating out cost us. But, in the long run it will be a birthday celebration that I won't soon forget. I have, however, decided that when I turn 40 I will be spending it at some sort of spa retreat...I think hiking, massages, and good food is more my style.

I am excited for my 30s. I think the 30's era will be much more my style than the 20's. If you figure out what I mean by that, you get a cookie. ;)

So on to the sharing business.

Ever since Chase was born I have been very open to letting people (that we know in some form) hold and love on him. And Chase loves people. He loves making them smile and loves to be loved upon.

I love to share my boy with people. Maybe this is wrong. I'm sure there are moms out there who are shaking there heads. But, to me, the more people that love my boy the better. I love picking him up after a day away and being told by each and everyone how much they love my boy. I am told repeatedly, Thankyou so much for sharing him with us. That sentence makes my heart melt. Maybe its because I know there are people out there who love my little boy almost as much as I do. Or maybe it is because my little boy is able to show them love in a way that only babies can do. But I love knowing all of this...it brings a smile to my face each and every time.

Chase spent his first weekend away from his parents. I was so nervous about how he would do. He did great! And my parents loved every second of it. I am so happy that I can give him and my parents that experience. Not too mention, Joel and I got to reconnect.

Well I think I have babbled enough.
