Turning 29

Here are a couple of pictures from my 29th birthday. Dan and Katelynn did a great job, I came home and had flowers from our backyard in vases, a birthday cake with candles, and some sparkling champagne for Dan & I. They sang me happy birthday and I got a gift certificate for a spa day! I haven't cashed in the gift certificate yet, but soon, it's almost just as calming and exciting to know that I have it there whenever I want to use it.

So, in less than a year I will hit the big "30", I have to say that I am not too excited about this milestone for myself. It seems to be the year that you are actually an "adult" in the sense of the word and are expected to act likewise. No more going out and having fun and then thinking I am still in my 20's give me a break, no more looking to the parents and going hey - I'm only in my 20's. Now instead of saying, yeah, in college or high school I did this and that, now it's in my 20's I did that and the young 20 year olds look at you and you think was that really me sooo long ago?! Well, I plan to give this last year in my 20's a hell of a go and make the most of it, at least all my girlfriends from my hometown turn 30 before me (sorry, ladies!) and I can go to each one of their 30 b-day parties and say damn you're getting old, (at least for a little while.)
