Happy Birthday to Me!

This weekend, I hit a milestone. I am now 30. Mostly, I'm okay with this. I have been playing the comparison game a bit. I thought that by thirty I would be married with a few kids, and that hasn't happened, although it has happened to many of my friends. However, I have had some good times and traveled to some great places. I still have a lot of freedom to do whatever I want, and that's good. (I could do without the gray hairs and eye wrinkles, but that's another story.)

On my birthday I had lunch with my dad, which was really nice. My brother called, which was great, and I talked to a few friends. A couple of my best friends didn't call, but I guess I'll hear from them soon. I went out to dinner and a movie with Jeff and Jen and had a great time. We saw National Treasure, which was totally implausible but entertaining. I really enjoyed seeing some of the national monuments in the film. Maybe this summer I'll do a national history tour of Boston, Philadelphia, and D.C. I think I could Amtrak between the three for pretty cheap. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

In classroom news, it is STILL raining. With this being a two day week, the kids are bouncing off the walls. Only one more day until a five day break. Yea!

My favorite discussion point from Sunday school this week: I am a princess. I am the daughter of the King and little sister of the Prince. I am an heir to the greatest estate ever imagined. Yeah God!! Romans 8:15-17

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
