Happy Birthday to ME

Yesterday I turned 29. For some reason turning 29 seems like turning 40 or something. I’m not saying 29 is necessarily old per se, but it feels like forever to me. In my long 29 years of life I have learned a few things: The things in high school don’t matter as much as you think they do and being popular isn’t everything. Be who you are and comfortable with whom you are. Don’t let anyone define who you should be. Love your family because they are the only ones you have. Life is short and precious; make sure the people who are the most important know you love them. Respect your husband and he will respect you. Love your husband’s family and make sure he loves your family too. Don’t rush into adult hood, let it find you, and appreciate being young and irresponsible! When you are finally an adult be a good example to your younger siblings. Invest in your future and do things that make you happy. Work at a job you enjoy not one you have to enjoy. That’s about all I have learned so far! After reading this I sound so wise in my young 29 years of life! I can’t wait to look back on this next year and compare.
