The Big 3 0!



Well, it's official: as of January 19th, Kole is no longer in his 20s. Just to rub it in a little I gave him a sympathy card and 10 black balloons (One to mourn each year of the decade of his prime. Years which have come and gone and which he can never get back). I am sure I will be regretting my insensitivity next year when I turn 30.  Nevertheless, I will still always be closer to 20 than him!
Just know I love you, babe.
To celebrate my older yet still handsome hubby finally maturing enough to sit at the grown-up table, I have included some quotes which will make everyone feel so much better about getting older....
