31!

Last year I gathered with some girlfriends and went out to dinner followed by hours of conversation at Starbucks. I never thought twice about turning 30. Glad to do it actually. I was so happy with where I had been and where I was going. I was content.

Let's just say that this year is not the same. I am still happy in my life and family. We are doing wonderful. But I just wish I was doing wonderful at 30. Not 31. UGH!!! I got a call from the insurance lady the other day. Rates are increasing because I am in a new bracket. (The old people bracket.) They think I will start giving out and require more maintenance I guess.

I have no idea why turning 30 was fun but I had a feeling of finally arriving at the point of adulthood. You would have thought college, marriage, 2 kids all before the age of 30 would make you an adult but I felt that 30 was the magic number.

This is also sad because I love birthdays!!! Especially mine!

I don't know what Cameron has planned but if you remember from a previous post his birthday present was me being in the hospital but eventually getting his Mustang. Hmmmm... Wonder if I can expect the same monetary value for my birthday? How shallow does that sound? I know pretty shallow. A girl can dream can't she?

Happy Birthday!

Kelly likes to make fun of me since I'm the first one of us to hit the age milestones. She tried giving me a hard time for turning 30, but like I you it didn't bother me at all. It doesn't even bother me that I'm turning 32 this year.

I think the reason aging doesn't bother me because (1) I'm always looking forward to the future and (2) I know older people who really seem to enjoy life where they're at - so my thinking is, why wouldn't it be enjoyable for me, too.

Don't worry about 31 - as far as prime numbers go, it's a pretty good one!
