since the beginning of the year all i could think of was how *this is the year i'm turning THIRTY*, even though it was months away. i knew it would creep up on me, and surely enough it did, and before i knew it i was facing the reality of my life. i kept reassuring myself that turning 30 wasn't really going to be a big deal for me, and i thought i was cool with it. but when october came, it was a different story. i know how fortunate i am to still look young (due to my lack of height and not to mention some awesome family genes), and i definitely don't think i act "old" (and i use that term loosely) but it's just the number that got to me. when i was young (again, i use that term loosely), i used to think people who were in their 30's were "old". isn't that crazy? but it was still implanted into my brain which is why i was having a hard time dealing with this particular birthday. especially since just the other day our teenage nephew, who had just found out i was turning 30, said to me, with his face all scrunched up, and i quote: "YOU'RE TURNING 30??? MAN, THAT'S OOOOOOOOLD!!!" see what i mean, that's exactly what *i* thought at his age...
with that being said, i think i handled my 30th birthday rather well. it helped to have so much love and support from my family and friends. speaking of... my sister and mom so graciously threw me a birthday bash to celebrate this momentous ocassion. i had a blast hanging out with my friends and family, laughing and goofing on all the silly pictures from my past that they put together of me, and dancing my 30 year old butt off. i couldn't have thought of a better way to spend my 30th birthday!
i stepped out of my comfort zone with my outfit this year; no better time to do that than now!
