Turning 30

Exactly 1 month from today, Billy will be turning 30! Kind of a big deal, I think! I wanted to do something special for him. At one point, we thought we could celebrate his birthday/graduation by going on a vacation with some friends at the end of May. But then we found out I was pregnant and due at the only time we could do this. We were kind of bummed to know that we probably wouldn't be able to go on a trip again for a few years. But we were also psyched to know that we would expend our family. So we gave up the idea of going anywhere... until a lightbulb came on inside my head. Billy's birthday is in February, so why not go on a trip for a long weekend? We could possibly even go somewhere warm. When Billy told me about a UFC fight he really wanted to see, I knew this would be our one and only opportunity. We could go to Vegas, make it our yearly family vacation, and he would get to watch a live fight. But I was not 100% sure we could make it happen, so I told him about the idea. Without any hesitation, he said "Let's do it!" So Vegas, here we come!
