Seriously, I need to know the answer! I turned 27 on Sunday, and it's been on my mind ever since. Is 27 still considered mid-twenties, or am I officially in my late-twenties? Just in case you didn't notice- I have a fear of getting older. Not being old. Not death. Just getting older.
Anyway, thanks to great friends and family my birthday wasn't so bad. Gavin and Beth organized a surprise birthday dinner for me at Speakeasy on Saturday night. Unfortunately, since it was a surprise and my husband has been a little preoccupied by his broken arm, I didn't have my camera. But trust me- we had a great time! Sunday I spent my actual birthday with my mom. It's tradition for us to have a birthday lunch together, so we had lunch at the Crepe Myrtle Cafe. Monday night this sweet, sweet girl...
Berkley (and Gavin's parents) threw me a birthday party. The theme? Pink!
And she made sure that all 27 candles were on the cake!
Which meant that I needed help blowing them out!
She did a great job putting the party together. I'm thinking that we might have a little party planner on our hands. She is now planning Gavin's Auburn themed birthday party for next week!
I say you've hit late-20's my dear. Sorry to burst your bubble. But I can say with gusto (seriously, gusto? Whatever...) that it's only getting better for me. I've figured out WHO I am & WHERE I'm going with life. There are details to be ironed out, of course, which continue to make the journey fun & interesting. I don't know all the answers & I've learned to be ok with it. I've learned that life's curveballs are what make it worthwhile. Getting older is scary, I'm turning 30 (shit) in 3months&2days. I'm not a fan & have been freaking out since my last birthday - which feels like it was yesterday.
ReplyDeleteBut life is still just as exciting, picking up speed & becoming more entertaining. I can appreciate what I'm looking at now & know that I can roll through anything. You're surrounded by wonderful people doing great things & you get to witness all of that, take part in it & help out when you can - getting older just means you have more to bring to the party.
Happy belated birthday - you deserve it. Trust me, they don't stop being freaky but they do keep getting cooler.
I think you are taking your first step towards your late twenties. It all happens so fast. Weren't we just 22? Live life to the fullest and I don't guess it will matter. (But just wait until you turn 30, it feels really weird to say that number!) Happy Birthday! :) P.S. Berkley did a great job with the party. :)
