What I've learned in 30 years......

30. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. This can be good or bad.

29. Life really is like a box of chocolates. You truly never know what you'll get.

28. Money can't buy happiness. I don't know this firsthand, I've just been told.

27. Beer before liquor, and liqour before beer.....doesn't matter. Either way, too much makes you sick.

26. While you may get wiser as you age, you don't necessarily get prettier.

25. Men and speedos.....never belong together.

24. Working hard gets you further than hardly working.

23. Being a mother is the hardest job there is. I don't care what men say.

22. Marriage is about give and take.....I prefer to take but you can't always get your way.

21. The most used word for a mother is ....."no".

20. People can only crap on you if you let them.

19. Washing your car always means it will rain in the next 24 hours.

18. You are what you eat. If you eat jelly rolls all day, surely enough your body will become one large jelly roll.

17. People don't always get what the deserve or deserve what they get.

16. Life isn't fair.

15, Good things don't always come in small packages.

14. Treat people as you'd like to be treated.

13. Picking your nose in the car is a bad idea.

12. Never back down your driveway with your car door open. If it hits a tree, it will break the door off.

11. Opinions really are like buttholes.

10. Enjoy every minute you have with the people you love. You never know when it could end.

9. The best things in life aren't free.

8. While having a cell phone is convenient, it is also a bother. People can always find you. Even if you don't wanna be found.

7. Things could be worse.

6. Learn from your mistakes. If you continue to make the same mistake over and over, you start to look foolish.

5. Spongebob is terribly annoying.

4. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.

3. Always look in the mirror before you leave the house. Remember other people have to look at you too, try to make sure it looks appropriate.

2. Good friends are always there when you need them.

1. Kids are a blessing. All jokes aside, they are a gift. Some of us are lucky enough to be given these beautiful gifts and don't take time to cherish them. I have learned through Cameron to cherish the little things. The milestones that seem so insignificant. The minutes you spend talking together and laughing. While I've lived 30 years and that seems like such a long time, in theory it isn't. I don't know everything, and I haven't always appreciated everything. But I do feel that since I was 25 (when Cameron was born), I have come a long way to appreciate things more.

So, Happy 30th Birthday to me. I never thought life would go this quickly. I remember being 16 and going to the DMV with my dad to get my license. I thought he was so embarrassing. I only wish he was here now to see how much I've accomplished and to meet his grandchildren. And on a side note, I understand now why women always say they're 29.
