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!!

    When did I become the elder statesman in this bunch?! I’m 36! Congratulations Bobby!

    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’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica
