THIRTY!!!

This year was my BIG 3-0!! I had been telling Ron for the last 2 years that I wanted to go on a trip for my 30th. However, I had a baby that I'm nursing so it was either take him, pump, or don't go. I kept thinking of all the things we could do and thought maybe I could take a short trip and then a bigger one later. I was racking my brain, even though I didn't want to plan anything (I couldn't help myself!). I then started thinking that it might be fun to go to Disneyland for a couple days, just the 2 of us and get a hotel and go on the rides that the kids can't. He wouldn't tell me ANYTHING as my birthday got closer, so I figured he wasn't planning anything! About 4:00 am on my birthday, my cell phone rang and it was my parents house. I thought "Why would they be calling me this early to tell me happy birthday?!" I answered the phone and I hear these Mickey Mouse songs. Then, my mom got on the phone and said "Get up, we're going to Disneyland! I'll be there at 5!" Emma had come in our room and was sleeping on the bed, Ron was still sleeping, and so were the other kids. I immediately started thinking, "who do I need to wake up to go?" So, I asked her who was going and she said it was just us. I asked if Ron was going, and she said to ask him. At that point, Ron's alarm went off, so I asked him and he said that he was coming, too. I had to decided whether to leave the baby or not. Ron said I would probably have more fun without him, so I decided to keep him here. And just like that, we were ready and the 3 of us headed down! It was so fun, but so weird to be there without kids. I had been there several times before without kids, but it seemed like we ran out of things to do. Maybe because it didn't take forever to go from ride to ride! There weren't a whole lot of people there and we only had to wait about 20 minutes for most of the rides. I went in to this neat baby center room to pump about every 3 hours. Thanks for the fun trip!!
