Whooo-hooo! I'm 35 today! My parents are really having a hard time with it....my dad doesn't like acknowledging he's getting older, so when my brother and I celebrate birthdays he can't run from the fact that he too is getting older!
The thing is I don't feel 35. I just feel like me, not older. Dh asked me if I feel different and I told him no. Then I looked at him and said, "Do you feel different? You turned 35 before me!" He just chuckled! The question is- When I'm 80, am I going to feel different on the inside? Truthfully, I hope not. I want to be the cool 80 year old that still thinks she's 25 and lives life to the fullest! We'll just have to wait and see.
For now, I'm going to enjoy being in my 30's because it won't be long before I'll be looking at the 40's....oh my.
So far, I've been given a new enV phone from my sweet Dh. This way I can text with the youth and not take forever! My parents gave me some homemade soap (I love soap made from goat's milk!), a new Amplified Bible and they purchased a birthday cake from Costco with butter cream icing and a yummy filling in the middle! My grandmother, who is 83, gave me a beautiful card with $$$ in it- that is always a wonderful gift! My dd #2 gave me a beautiful card she made all by herself and the day is still far from over!
Dh and I were reminiscing about my 19th birthday last night. Now, this will age us a little....He took me to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast on Ice! Then he took me to his house where all of our college friends were waiting! It was a wonderful evening. My cake was even Beauty and the Beast! See the picture above, aren't they cute! He dropped a lot of money on me that night- good man! Actually, it was the thought that was the best. He was, and still is, so thoughtful. For whatever the reason, we related to the Beauty and Beast story line. I guess it's because Dh is so hairy, yep. Really hairy, but not quite as bad as the beast in the story! Anyhow, he put it all together for me and that made it super special. We also talked that we have almost been together for half of our lives! Amazing!
Well...no matter the rest of the day, I will thank the Lord for another year to serve Him, hopefully, to serve Him more and serve Him better.
