HaPpY BiRtHdAy To mE!!!

Even though it's been over a week, I'm finally getting around to blogging this! I turned 29 a week ago! I can't believe how fast time flies and that I'm only a year a way from being 30! Yikes! Stephen always seems to rub in the fact that he's 3 months younger than me. Thirty seems like such a scary thought. I guess I have a year to get used to it :) This past year was a great one! Bought a house, changed jobs, and traveled lots to sum it up in a sentence! I couldn't have asked for more. Stephen spoiled me and made sure I had a relaxing day. It was great! We slept in and he even did some cleaning around the house for our Saturday chores. We went running together and then he surprised me and told me he was taking me shopping for my present. We hopped in the car and ended up at a furniture store. He told me I could pick out a coffee table that I've been wanting for some time. He was very patient with his indecisive wife. We found one only after trying five different places. Then he took me to one of my favorites for dinner...The Olive Garden! Yum! I'm so grateful for all the wonderful family and friends in my life and those who I've met along the way. I am truly blessed!

Emily, 30 is a milestone, but just wait until 60 is looming in your face like it is for me (I turned 57 this year. I just don't feel that old, most of the time!) I'm sure 60 seems like it is forever away, but time does seem to fly. God only gives us each moment with no promises of another so we have to live this one to the best of our ability. So I guess it doesn't matter if you're turning 30 or 60 or 80 or 100, as long as you're living to the best of your ability. That sounds way too philosophical. Anyway, age hasn't ever really bothered me a lot, but as I'm getting older and feeling more aches and pains I guess I'm thinking about it more. Also taking care of parents makes me more aware of what might lie ahead. I'm relishing the current moments more. love, Aunt pj
