Yes, that's right. I turned the BIG 3-0 today. I've been hearing the old lady jokes all week, but this birthday honestly doesn't bother me one bit! I've actually been looking forward to hitting 30 and seeing what this year has in store. My life has been blessed and filled with love, family, friends and work...and I feel like it's all been leading up to this point in my life with all of the changes on the horizon.One big change is that I'm leaving my news anchor position at KRTV. After many prayers, talks and tears, I decided that this Friday will be my final newscast. It's been an emotional week because I consider KRTV my family, but my support system has been out in full force. Proof: the look on my face in these pictures.
Matt & my friends at KRTV, KFBB & Beartooth NBC were sneaky, sneaky and threw the most incredible surprise party for me Saturday night. It was a combined party celebrating my birthday, my farewell to KRTV and my new photography business! I was completely blown away...and deeply touched by the cards, gifts, hugs and (another surprise) the funniest, most heart-felt farewell tape. Background: we make a tape for each person who leaves one of the TV stations. The tape is filled with bloopers, stories, messages from old reporters and anchors....and of course, clips of all the different hair styles. The tape was so good - I almost begged for my job back! If I figure out how to post the video, I will do that so you can watch and laugh. Or if you're sensitive like me, you might bawl your eyes out! To Matt and all of my TV friends - I'm such a lucky girl to call you my friends.
*These are pictures Matt took while I was watching my farewell tape.

Happy 30th birthday!!! Love the pics of you..I think you need to post a few of yourself at least once a month. Deal? ;) S.S.

Cindy....so sorry I missed your b-day...so happy belated 30th. You don't look a day over 25. As some random guy said to me on the street today in San Francisco: "You've got so much ahead of you. Spend it well." I think he was a little crazy, but some good advice nonetheless.
Love you!
Happy Belated Birthday Cindy! It was so good to see such great pics of you and I loved getting caught up with Kathy about you at Christmas. Love you so much! Michelle
