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.

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

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨
