I remember when my mother turned 30. She spent the day in the bathroom and cried. It was such a sad day for her because she felt like she was so old, like turning 30 automatically made her old (which it didn't). I was ten years old at the time, and didn't understand her frustration, but vowed never to let myself feel sad at growing another year older. I don't think there is a magical age at which you are "old". You're old when you feel and then begin acting like you are old. Until then you need to live life and enjoy it, which is exactly my plan.
My birthday couldn't have been more perfect. Last night we celebrated my birthday at The Corner Bar with Jan, Bob, Shannon, and Mart and then went back to Bob and Jan's for cupcakes. Then oday began with Adri coming into the bedroom and telling me she "wanted to cuddle with her Mama" (my very favorite way to wake up in the morning--I can't wait until Sammy is begging to cuddle with us too!). Matt took care of the kids all day (diapers and feeding) and even got me a Biggby coffee! We then went over to my Mom's and had brunch and lemon cake (which Matt made--it was fantastic!). Afterward we went grocery shopping as a family and Matt got to enjoy a normal shopping trip--Adri decided to act crazy and didn't listen once. :) It was such a relaxing birthday. I couldn't have asked for anything more than enjoying the day with the people I love.
A couple photos I stole from Jan's camera last night:
