Thirty, Flirty and THRIVING!

So I turned the BIG 3-0! Transitioning into a new decade really wasn't too bad (I did most of the freaking out when I turned 29) I'll be honest, it was bittersweet but instead of dwelling on what my life isn't at the moment, I reflected on the events of the last decade and who I've become.  This birthday brought me to tears (some sad) but mostly just because I was overwhelmed with gratitude and felt so much love from the people in my life.
I had to work on my birthday this year, it really wasn't a big deal. Of course there is the curse of working on your birthday (you're doomed to have a crappy day) my patient did code and then the family decided to withdraw care BUT as bad as that sounds it really wasn't.  I just started working on a new floor the cardiac ICU (well not new but new....) and they were really great.

Vanilla Coke (I haven't had caffeine or soda in almost a year!)

and Kneaders French toast sooo yummy!

My sister's visited me at work and brought me delicious sugar cookies

Just what we needed after a crazy afternoon

Our awesome neighbors that live above us made me dinner

One of my BFF's Julie (met at UVSC while serving on the Institute Council) made me this amazing 30 survival kit. The girl thought of EVERYTHING and it was AWESOME! Sadly I didn't get a picture of it.  Saturday Nick and I went out to dinner to celebrate. We went to La Jolla Groves in the Riverwoods, nice atmosphere and super yummy food.  I didn't take a picture of us but I did of my dessert! Haha!
