December

Since I am so behind, here are some pics to recap the month in short. The month was filled with many milestones for Landan as well as Landan's 1st Christmas, my 3oth birthday and the biggest thing was our move from San Ramon to my parents place the week after Christmas. We had 1 week to pack up the last 8 years of our lives and move out in time for our new tenants to move in and WE DID IT!! We are slowly adjusting to canyon living and I am really loving it there. Right now we are in the main house with my parents but Nate is working hard on fixing up the guesthouse so we can hopefully move in my March. Our December was great and hope yours was too.

Surprisingly Landan was not freaked out by Santa

My 30th Birthday!

The big 30, life has just begun right?

I had such a wonderful day celebrating. Nate surprised me by taking the day off work and treating me to a day of fun with him and Landan. The day started out with breakfast at one of my favorite places (Bette's ocean view diner in Berkely) then we headed to the city to do a little shopping. We walked up to Union Square from Market Street and took some pictures then walked back down and headed home. Once we got home I thought we were going to my parents place for dinner but to my surprise Nate had reservations for dinner at another one of my favorite places (Piatti restaurant in Danville). After dinner we returned home to find my parents, Nate's parents, my sister and her fam all there to celebrate and have dessert. Nate made it a point to make me felt like one lucky gal that day and he succeeded. I look back and I don't think for one moment that I am sad to be turning 30 but yet I look back and think how blessed and am so happy at where my life has come to this point.

Lastly, the best thing about my 30th birthday was how I was able to see how the Lord had answered my prayer. In our waiting time I would just beg the Lord to allow me to have a child by the time I was 30 and I had my son there to celebrate my 3oth birthday with me. Thank you LORD!!
