Today is my 30th birthday. Everyone who knew it was approaching all said, "oh, how are you handling it? Are you depressed?" I just smiled and said, "No". I really am okay with it. Some people approach a milestone age and cry, fight, go through a crisis about it, you know, they DON'T want it to happen.
Whenever someone figures out how to stop the aging process, please let me know. You can't do anything about getting older (relatively speaking, of course. We all know about Botox and hair dye.) so why fight it?
Some friends and I went to a local winery to celebrate the occasion, and of course brought me some "Over the Hill" garb to wear throughout the day. I thought "Over the Hill" was when you turned 50? Haha. Yesterday was a beautiful day. Good thing, because I had been looking forward to this trip for months. Everything about yesterday was amazing. Lots of laughs with good friends from near and far. I did miss a few of you though!
My husband, Mr. King had been cooking up a plan for months to surprise me. I have never been surprised in my life. (Well, I take that back. There are many occasions where I have been surprised, but this was my first "birthday" surprise.) When we arrived back in town from the winery, we turned the corner and saw A LOT of cars parked outside. I knew the neighbors were having family over for her mother's birthday, but as I looked closer I noticed that I knew a lot of the cars and that this party was quite possibly for me!! Wow. It was so neat. He had cooked up a storm, gotten a yummy cake, even had a birthday banner made for me that said "Happy 29th...again." He really outdid himself.
I am going to embrace 30 and beyond. I have many wonderful experiences yet to be had, more children to bear, more life to live. And turning 30 is okay.
How did you/will you feel about turning three decades old?
