Well, tomorrow is the day in which I will leave behind that illustrious decade known as "MY 20's" and move forward into my "MY 30's". I'm not panicking nor am I having a mid-life crisis (yet), but I am rather surprised. How did I get here so quickly?
They say that 40 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20, but I think that's only if you're Jennifer Aniston. I saw on the newsstand that she's turning 40. Seriously? What is she, part human part non-biodegradable plastic? But I digress.....
I do feel some slight sadness to be leaving this decade behind. I have experienced thus far both my greatest joys and my deepest sorrow in my 20's. I'm not afraid of growing older or getting wrinkles, because with age comes both wisdom and a deeper beauty. Besides, I think I lost my vanity 4 children ago.....
What will the next decade bring? I do expect that I will sleep through more nights than I have in the past 7 years, but other than that, who knows?
So I bid a fond farewell to you, Late 20's. I come away with a wonderful husband, 4 amazing children, more wisdom and insight than I went in with and lots of good memories.
Hello, 30. Nice to meet you.

It's nice you can look at the last decade and be proud of all you've accomplished.
Four kids? That's amazing.
Happy Birthday Lani! I can't believe it has been thirty years since I held you in my arms just mins. after you were born. I remember it like it was yesterday because of the intense emotions I experienced...you see I had a miscarriage just weeks before you were born. So I felt both joy at holding my new niece in my arms and also a great sadness over what I had lost. But I will always remember your Grandpa Heathorn putting his arm around me as I stood holding you with tears running down my face and he said..."It's your turn next." And of course he was right. I have always had a special love for him since that day.
Anyway...I am very proud of the lovely young woman you have grown into. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful family and I love you very much.
Love,
Aunt Kathy
Happy birthday! 30 is fine, it feels no different than the 20's. I hope you had a nice day, on my 30th birthday last year I had the flu and threw up all day! That was pretty much awful!
love nik
I love it when you say "I digress." That's totally something a 30 year-old would say...or Queen Elizabeth ;)
...OR just a nerdy homeschooler who reads a lot of really old books .... ;)
