August 12th, this day has been very special day for me, not only it is my birthday but it is also my parents wedding anniversary. And few years back Chris and I made it more special to have our own wedding on this day. So it is also our wedding anniversary, too.
I am not afraid to get old even I was a kid, I was always excited to get old. I feel there is more to learn, experience as I get older and I am looking forward for all the exciting adventures waiting for me. So turning 31 is actually kinda exciting....! I am exciting for my 30s. I started early to be very independent. I was 15 years old when I left my parents house, to go to another country to learn everything new from scratch. Then I got married when I was 22.....(well I wish I waited a little longer this part..but oh well!) and had two beautiful girls by age 28. So to me, hard part is kind of over (the part to start a family), no sweat looking for a perfect man, or worry about my clock ticking to have some babies. I have been desperate to find out what to do with my talent or find out my purpose in life past a couple of years, but I am coming in peace with this lately. Maybe because I am going back to school which made me confident to staying in the path I want to take to next level. Maybe because I kind of know something new and exciting will happen in my 30's. I don't know I am just so excited!
I am so happy to have such a wonderful circle of friends and family who celebrated my birthday with me yesterday! My man Chris and girls baked me a cake a night before, it was yummy yummy. And they got me cards and a champagne. And I got phone calls, e-mails, hand made cards and another yummy desert from friends. Nothing big happened, but it was nice quiet happy day yesterday. Thank you to all my friends who wished me happy birthday, it meant so much to me! I love you all.

The boys really enjoyed hanging out with your girls in Utah. Maybe one day we'll see you out here on your way back home?

Well Chris did a very good job with girls. He is good for something...! Just kidding! ;-)
