I'm turning 29 tomorrow. For real 29.
I'm officially that age that everyone pretends they are. I really don't have a problem with getting older or even eventually turning thirty - it's the holy crap I'm not going to be in my 20's anymore that kind of unnerves me a little. It's the I should have my sh*t together age yet somehow I feel like a kid still.
Yes, I'm married. I have kids. I have a mortgage and a job. I even have some gray hair but for goodness sake I don't consider myself a full-fledged adult. No way. And you know what, I want it to stay that way. I embrace the getting older and the responsibilities that life has brought forth but I refuse to let age define me. I am going to hang onto my youthfulness as much as I can. Heck, I can still say that I am in my late 20's.
Wow! I really am 29. Geez. It's amazing how fast time just speeds by.
I am so grateful for my life. For these past 28 years. Thank you Lord for blessing me with a loving family, for an amazing/passionate/obstinate/challenging/hawt husband, for two beautiful/flawless little munchkins, for wonderful/meaningful friendships, for opportunities and adventures, for my health and provision for my life. I am always so overwhelmed with the amount of blessing that is poured out on me.
And I know this year won't be any different. Looking forward to my 29th adventure!
I missed it?! I was doing NOTHING important yesterday and I could have done something special for YOU!!! Dang! I love you so much Heidi, and for as long as we live...I will always be two years OLDER than you. So to me, you will always be a kid.
