Oh my goodness...I am 30 years old today. YIKES!! haha! :)
Really, I have been totally fine with turning 30...until the year arrived. Starting the day after my 29th birthday, I just started freaking out about being 30! It lasted all year long and finally about two weeks ago, I started to feel like it might not end up being so bad after all. haha! :)
With this birthday coming up, I've been thinking lots about who I am and what I am and it's been good for me to ponder that for a little bit. For the most part, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at in life. There's a few things that I've decided I'd like to see change from this point on, but it's nothing that is a deal breaker and so that's pretty good, I think! :)
So, here I am...30. My day today is going to start out with breakfast at Brent's house (he's a good friend of mine) with a few other friends joining us (Julie S...do you remember doing that for Brent's 30th?! :). Then, I'm going to have lunch with another good friend, Meegan, and I'm really looking forward to that, too! Finally, at the end of the day, I'm going to go join my friends west of here for an evening of Pampered Chef and some good visits. All in all, I think it's going to be a wonderful day!! :)
I hope you have a great day, too! I'd sure love to hear any comments from those of you who have experienced 30, whether recently or awhile ago, and what you have to say about it. It's always fun to hear peoples' opinions on different milestones in life. :) Take care!

oddly enough, I still feel 29. hmmm, maybe I just felt "old" when I was 29. :) you know, just a number, blah blah. :)
Happy Birthday Jen! Don't look back, it only gets better. (I wouldn't go back if you paid me). I'm just fine being 35 thanks. (and I still feel 23 so that's what counts right?)
Enjoy your day!!
Happy Birthday!!! I am more afraid of 40 then 30! Good thing I have some time before I hit either:) Your only as old as you feel! Sounds like a fun day planned. Hope you have a great day!
Happy birthday, Jen. Somehow the "decade birthdays" didn't bother me much. Nor have have any of my birthdays. We all know what the alternative is if we don't grow older, right? I've passed several milestone birthdays and next year another one - 70! I'm actually looking forward to celebrating that one. :)
ESTHER!! That is EXACTLY what my thought has been over the last few days...we know what the alternative is if we don't grow older!! :) You're SEVENTY next year, Esther?!? WOW! I'll help you celebrate that one, k? :) Love ya! :)
Thanks for the b-day wishes, everyone... I had to laugh because I got on here and started looking for the "like" button for each comment. haha! :)
Happy 30th, Jen! Hope your day is fantastically wonderful!
Jen, The BIG three O is nothing compared to the BIG 65 comming up for me in April. Happy Birthday. Maybe we'll get to see you when you get home. LOVE YA AUNT BARBARA
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEN!!! I hope your whole day is WONDERFUL!!
I had a great grandmother who was 92 and acted 60, and I know a 64 year old who acts 90...so I have to agree with the old adage that you are only as old as you feel/act.
I agree with Amy...it gets better. So enjoy each day! :)
Love,
Michelle, Morgan, Shane, Ivey, and Sadie
Age is a matter of the mind....if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!!
You are one of the lucky ones. Some people don't get the chance to turn 30!! Keep up the good work!
Yay! Join the club Jen =) Happy 30th! It's not so bad, as others have said, you're only as old as you feel anyhow!
Happy, Happy Birthday Jen! :-)

Say Miss Jen, I'm glad you are having a great day. Not only do you get to read your good wishes but we get to read them, which is fun for us, too. Have a great rest of the day. Linda
Oh HAPPY DAY my dear!
I haven't experienced it yet; but Warner says that he used to dread getting old -- then -- he looked at his dad. He's "retired" has a ranch, a business, a pond stocked with rainbow trout --- well --- Warner says all that doesn't sound so bad! =)
(so what did Brent fix for breakfast?)
Happy Birthday from us, too! Hope you have a great trip home.
Happy Birthday!
happy birthday girl! you could think of it like this....you're in your EARLY 30s instead of your LATE 20s! betcha feel younger already!?
Happy birthday. I have been in the club for nearly a year, and so far the dues are cheap and the rewards are good.
