Bobby’s Thirty!

June 6, 2013 | family

I am married to someone in their 30’s. I used to think this was SO old, and now it’s happening in my life. Today is Bobby’s 30th birthday!

Isn’t he a stud? I am one lucky gal. I met Bobby when he was the ripe old age of 21. We got married when he was 23, and now I get to make fun of him for two years until I turn 30.

We have had some great times together. He is so silly, and always makes me laugh.

he is also my biggest cheerleader.

We have been celebrating his birthday for a few years now

Bobby’s 25th birthday

And I can’t wait to celebrate many more with him. I love you Bobby, happy 30th birthday!

QOTD: Do you celebrate milestone birthdays a little more than regular ones? (18, 21, 25, 30, 40, etc.)

    I turned 30 this year and always thought when I was younger that I would feel like I had it all figured out by this age and would feel more ‘mature’.

    Funny how that doesn’t actually happen! Hope Bobby enjoyed his birthday.

      That never happens. I turned 41 this year and I thought I’d feel like a grown up by 25. Still waiting.

    Happy Birthday to Bobby! My husband is 5 months YOUNGER than me, so he’ll get to tease me for a little while when I turn 30 and his still in his twenties. Luckily, we’ve got 3 more years to go before we have to worry about that!

      ha! My husband is 4 months younger than me, so I feel your pain and am already dreading those 4 months even through they’re 4 years away!

      Happy birthday to Bobby!

    Yay, happy birthday Bobby! I made Jeff spend his 30th bday in a childbirth education class. I don’t think I’ll ever live that one down haha.

    Happy birthday Bobby!

    I haven’t really celebrated milestone birthdays due to circumstances going on at the time, for all of 18, 21 and 25. I really hope there will be happy things going on in 2 years for 30.

    Happy Birthday Bobby! Josh is 6 years older than me so he’s going to hit 30 way before me. He has 2 years. I need to think of something exciting to do to celebrate it!

    When you’re young you think everyone is old. When you get there, you just feel like you’re the same person you ever were. Age is just a number. Happy Birthday to Bobby!

    Isn’t it funny how we use to think 30 was so OLD now we are almost there. I just turned 29 and can’t believe I’m on my way to 30. Happy birthday to your hubs! I LOVE birthdays!!

    I am a month older than my husband and when we got married I was 24 and he was 23 and he still makes fun of me for it haha. I like to celebrate the bigger milestones though my husband could care less ha

    Happy Birthday to your hubby! We definitely have a bigger celebration for milestone birthdays that usually last all day and into the wee hours of the next morning!

    Happy Birthday to Bobby! Oh to be 30… now that it’s past me it sounds so delightfully young! I can say this: every year gets better AND with every new age group I enter I seem to get faster. So at least there’s that!

    When I was still in my late 20’s, I’ve felt like I’m getting so old. I want time to slow down a little bit. Right now, I’m so happy in my early 30’s since I felt like I’ve enjoyed my younger days. Anyway, Happy Birthday, Bobby! 😀

    I used to think 30 was old till I now will turn 40 next month. My hubby turns 40 this month so only for a month I can tease him about being 40.

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷

Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Hav Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Haven was everything we wanted in a mountain getaway—and then some. ⛰️ 

This luxury cabin has 4 spacious bedrooms (including one with built-in bunks that my daughter loved) and 4 full bathrooms, making it perfect for a family trip or group vacation.

We spent our days soaking in the hot tub with mountain views, lounging on the deck by the fireplace with coffee in hand, and playing pool in the game room. 

The cabin even has its own private sauna and steam room—YES, really! It felt like a full-on spa experience right in the woods. ✨ 

And one of the best surprises? It has its own playground, which was a total hit with with daughter and such a bonus for keeping little ones entertained.

We were just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, but honestly, we barely wanted to leave. If you’re planning a Smoky Mountains trip, Alpine Haven is that perfect mix of cozy, modern, and wow-worthy. 💫
