My 30th Birthday!

My, friends, at exactly 8:49 a.m. today, I turned the big 3-0. I braced myself for something apocalyptic to happen, but strangely, I don’t feel any different. As I ease myself into this new decade. I have some lovely photos to share with you next week, but for now, I’d love to know: Do you love your birthday?

P.S. I’m going out to lunch and to see Crazy, Stupid, Love to celebrate. Can’t wait!

P.P.S. Happy birthday, President Obama!

    Ps- Yes, I love my birthday – it's the day before Halloween which makes for a fun party. What I don't like is the "getting older" part. πŸ˜‰

    I started giving up on my birthday last year but this year a new friend made a big deal out of it and it has renewed my faith in it.

    Happy Birthday! Have a lovely day. Before turning 30 this year, I was dreading it, but I don't feel any different. I may be older, but it didn't necessarily make me any wiser!

    Ugh. I hate my birthday. It's on Christmas Eve and it is totally overshadowed by Christmas. I need to start celebrating it in June or something πŸ™‚

    Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a lovely day and this is the start of a fresh new year for you!

    I have to say I don't LOVE my birthday but I'm getting better with it. My last birthday was 35 and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it's been a good yr. Acruallt it's been quite hard but I'm learning so much from it so I'm counting it as good. It's all in perspective, right? πŸ™‚

    Enjoy your day! Age truly is just a number – life is so much more!

    I turned 30 two weeks before you and I was waiting for something apocalyptic too but so far, I'm the same. Maybe a few more wrinkles but they could've been there for years and I only noticed when I turned 30. Happy belated birthday!
