I can hide from it no more, it is now stomping towards me at a rapid pace. Yep, next week I shall turn 30!!!!! THIRTY!!!!! How? Where did the time go?? I know many people probably think this (and I know many who say it) but I honestly still think of myself as about 18. I'm also now having 'those' moments when I think 'what have I actually done with my life?'. I hate that and I hate the kind of people that come out with comments like that but I now find myself wondering the same :o( For some reason, I built up turning thirty in to a huge deal.
Anyway, I decided that it was futile to dread it and decided to embrace it. Three weeks ago I had my 30th birthday party which was planned and executed wonderfully by my sister Jo. I had a fabulous night and it made the actual event of turning 30 much easier to accept (although it hasn't actually happened yet). My brothers band played (with an impromptu performance from me!!), my family and friends were there and I had a huge chocolate cake :o) It was a fantastic party and i owe a huge thank you to Jo and my parents - thank you!!!
Here are some photo's from the night. Bring on 30!!! (Yeah, I'll let you know how I really feel about it after the actual day.)

Jo and I roped up on stage to sing backing!

The gorgeous cake
What can I tell you Laura. It is going to happen anyway, so enjoy your birthday.
ReplyDeleteI dont recall turning 30 as such a big deal.
Maybe I was in a better place for me than you feel you are for you...I dont know.
Take it as it is. Just another year. Maybe embrace it and try to be sure you are where you want to be, and feel better about it, when you are turning 31....:)
Happy Birthday kid....Love You..xxx
Thank you!!! I am trying to embrace it and think of it as nothing. I have just built it up to be such a big deal - I think you're right about being in a better place. I shall do something about that so, as you say, I feel better about turning 31 :o) The 12 month countdown starts Thursday!
ReplyDeleteLove you too!! xxx

Happy Belated Birthday! 30 is not old, believe me. I am twice your age and I refuse to refer to myself as an old lady. NOT!!!
