I’m 31 now. Thirty-one!!! Totally IN my 30’s. Officially.
My birthday plans didn’t pan out at all like I thought they would, but in some ways that was better. We just rolled with the punches and ended up having a great time. I got a surprise from my girlfriends who took me out for lunch and a mani/pedi. (So fun!) My husband took me out for a FAB dinner at my favorite steak house. The in-laws treated me to a night of pizza and good company. We also got together with all the friends and went for cheeseburgers and miniature golf. So over the course of the last week, I’ve had a pretty awesome celebration!
I’m really grateful for the all the people in my life who thought of me and took even a second to acknowledge that. From cards, to phone calls to little old Facebook comments… It all melts my heart.
So 31. It’s kind of weird. Like, I was talking to my husband today about how I don’t FEEL like I’m 31. I guess a more accurate statement would be that I don’t know how I’m SUPPOSED to feel at 31. It’s a strange thing to truly understand and embrace your age. I know I’m a completely different person than who I was at 21, but I don’t feel older. What is 31 supposed to feel like? I guess it feels like…this. And sure, I have a long way to go with some things. But I’m OK with that.
Just loving the journey… Cheers (and more milkshakes!)
I feel you … I am approaching the big 3-0 this year, and I just do not really feel that grown up yet! I am sure that is a good thing … 🙂
It is what we want it to be, right?
Happy belated birthday, dear girl! Oh to be 31 again….I’m counting down to 50. (But I feel – I don’t know – 30)? My best advice is to simply be happy — I spent way too many years fraught with worry — a complete waste. So here’s to eating cake, milkshakes, and please, please have an In ‘N Out Burger for me! (and fries and a chocolate shake).
I love this life list:

Yeah… I’m feeling weird about the big 3-1 this year too. Even more so than 3-0. Maybe it’s because like a 16 year old, I had a John Hughes party last year for my birthday (thanks to my sisters)… Well, if it helps, you look super hott, are super talented, and look 21. Me, I’d like to be 25 forever.
yeah! good birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! Your hair is HOT!
Sounds like a good b-day to me. Lots of food involved!
I love that.
