29

So today I turn 29. I have to admit that I don't like turning 29, I would much rather be turning 30. Not that I'm wishing a year of my life away. It just sounds so fake when someone asks me how old I'm turning and i reply...'29'. I get the look of is that true or is she just saying that? That is the age people always use when they are lying about there age, well that and 39. 'I'm 29 and holding' is one of the silliest things I've ever heard. I'm sorry if you are one that doesn't like to get older. I look at my parents and grandparents and the lives that they get to live and look forward to each stage that is ahead of me. To me age is just a number and youth is a mindset. My 80 year old grandparents may just have more of a social life than I do.

So I'm celebrating the blessing of yet another year and excited about reaching the big 30 milestone. I may just put up a ticker to count down the next year.
