Midlife Crisis

Old fogies.

Wow, I just hit the big 3-0! Happy Birthday to me! I didn't think my 30th birthday would be any big event or any different from my other birthdays. However, as the big day got closer I started to think more and more about things.

I remember when 30 was soooo old. I still buy clothes from the same stores with teeny boppers, should I have outgrown this by now? I don't know! I am even a bit embarrassed to admit that I even recently purchased a shirt from Gap Kids!!! (It was super cute though!) Am I one of those who is ancient and trying to stay forever young? You are only as old as you feel right? I still feel like I am 21!

I also spent most of the morning examining my wrinkles, wondering if my crows feet were getting bigger. Yuck! My most wonderful hubby took for a full day of shopping. I went to the Bobby Brown counter just to get some more powder. . . yep almost $200 later I walked away all new "anti wrinkle" creams and a whole new youthful look.

Is it possible to have a midlife crisis at 30? I honestly usually can't remember how old I am. One of my best buds, Krista, and Victor are usually constantly reminding of my real age. Everyone drilled into my head I was 30 this year so now I remember! I think I liked it better when I was naive to the fact of my true age.

We celebrated with an all day shopping excursion and dinner at the Melting Pot with some friends followed by a girls day with shopping and a movie the next afternoon with a few of my other friends who couldn't make it the night before. Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us and all of your phone calls and well wishes. It really means a lot to me. I love you guys! PS- Krista and Robyn, everytime we go to the Melting Pot I think about you guys! ha ha Remember when. . . ;)

Paula & Chris- I caught Paula at just the right moment of putting food in her mouth!

Cute little Tif.

My adorable Dani- I am sure the look of shock is because she is astounded I am 30!

Vic and Kelton.

Well, old or not, walker or no walker, lots of wrinkles or just a few I do have so much in my life to be grateful for. My kids are healthy and happy, I have a wonderful husband who loves and spoils me, we have the best friends and family who would do anything for us (as we would for them), we have roof over our heads, and food on the table! I guess I will just keep living my life like I am 21 with just a tad more wisdom, it seems to be working well so far!

To my sweet little Victor, thanks so much for making my birthday extra special and doing so with a big smile on your face. You're the best! I love you.
