Today officially marks my last month in my 20s – I’ll be 30 on October 22. I don’t quite know how I feel about it. My 20s (especially my late 20s) have been pretty good to me, and have been a period of change. I turned 20 as a sophomore in college, and I’ll turn 30 as a wife and mom. It’s pretty incredible how much your life can change in just 10 years.
That being said, I do love my birthday – spending it with my family and being told “Happy Birthday.” Then of course, people ask what I want for my birthday…and it’s hard to come up with things! I did manage to come up with a few things I’ve had my eye on..
- A new camera lens. I’m really trying to take better pictures, and am still using the kit lens that came with my Nikon. I’d like a 50mm lens – something like the one below.
- I’d also LOVE a camera bag to keep it all together – I love this one!
- New espresso glasses. One of mine cracked a while ago and I haven’t replaced them yet.
- A new travel mug for my morning coffee. I just have one, and it would be nice to have two. I do want a 20 ounce one though, and they’re harder to find.
- Ree Drummond’s new cookbook, which comes out about a week after my birthday…and I’m pretty sure my mom’s buying since she yelled at me not to buy it!
- A cake decorating turntable. It would make things so much easier when I frost cakes!
- This is a weird request, but I really need a new laptop battery…mine now only lasts about 2 hours when not on the charger.
- And of course I’d love tickets for all three of us to a Hokie football game…but I have a feeling we won’t be taking Abbie to Blacksburg until next year.
And of course, celebrating with my family – including my first birthday of many with my little girl.

Oh, great list! I have the “nifty 50” and love it! It’s hard to take pictures of things that are close to you, though, if that makes sense. I looove my Contigo water bottle, and that cake turntable looks so handy!!
You will LOVE your 50mm. I have the 1.8 and now want the 1.4… if not a 35mm or 85mm. PRIME LENS GIRL HERE 😉
And that Contigo mug is the BOMB. You need it in your life!!!
a DSLR is #1 on my want list! now with a baby i am dyingggg to get better pictures than just those i get from my iphone!
i love those glasses – ive never seen such a thing! i just always use a mason jar. lol!
Funny! I got a 50mm lens for my 30th this summer 🙂 There’s a bit of a learning curve, I’ve noticed (like Jeslynn02 says) – your frame of view is cut way down, but I love the “good ones” that happen out of it with a nice soft background.
It does make sense, and I’m really hoping someone takes the hint and gets it for me! After all, it would mean more Abbie pictures…
You’re the one that first recommended them to me! And yes, NEED that mug!
You will LOVE LOVE LOVE a DSLR…and so will we, when we get more pics of Crue!
We must think alike 🙂
