It’s hard for me to believe that I will be thirty in less than a month. The time has flown by. It feels like just yesterday that I was in High School doing homework and working on research papers (with a little help from OPPapers), and now I am married with a seven-year-old about to turn the big 3-0! Scary? Yes!
What scares me the most is simply how fast time passes. Before I know it, my daughter is going to be a tween, then a teen and finally an adult moving away from home. It really puts your whole life in perspective when you finally realize there is an expiration and you need to make the most of it. If my husband and I want to have another child, we need to start thinking about it now. After all, he isn’t getting any younger either 😉
This year I plan to celebrate my 30th with my family. I really don’t want anything more. The Hunger Games is opening around my birthday and I will be cruising with my husband and daughter on the Disney Fantasy a week after– and those two things are more than enough to make me happy! As I get older, I think less about presents and more about what I can do with my family to make a lasting memory– especially for our daughter. Birthdays in themselves are presents — it took me thirty years to learn that!
When my birthday does roll around, I’m going to TRY to not focus on the number and just be happy to be me –Â I think that’s easier said than done for a woman — but that’s what I’m going to keep telling myself … Happy 30th 1982 babies!
