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!

    Aw Happy Birthday!!!!!

    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 turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
