Happy Birthday To Me!

July 13, 2010 | Uncategorized

So today I turn a quarter of a century old just before 1:00 pm. I actually feel old this year. Not sure why. Maybe because 25 seems like a momentous birthday. Halfway through the 20’s. Halfway to 30 from the 20’s. Closer to 50. Yikes!
Ok  enough with being depressing. I woke up this morning to a decorated living room. Here is a taste:

Then Bobby and I went on a quick 3 mile run. I wasn’t really feeling it so we walked some. I think we are going to go to lunch and then see Toy Story 3!! Then tonight my small group Bible study is taking me to dinner. I can’t wait!

Also…still working on my patience and waiting…Hoping some of it will be resolved today. I hate feeling anxious, and I especially shouldn’t have to feel this way on my birthday!

Hope everyone has a great day, July 13th IS a great day after all!

QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do on your birthday? Any traditions?

    Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day! Sorry about the run.

    I honestly haven’t done anything special on my bday in a decade or so. I even hated having bday parties when I was a kid. I’m weird. I just enjoy eating copious amounts of cake 😉

    Hi there! What a great day to come across your blog for the first time! Happy Birthday! I adore the pink–and–are those palmetto trees in your banner? I’m originally from SC and that’s the state tree (along with the mosquito as the state bird) 🙂 Love your previous post about working out on vacation, too. I’ll definitely be reading more on your blog!

    Enjoy your b-day and Toy Story 3 (it’s so funny and sentimental)!

    Happy Birthday!! My 25th birthday was my “golden” birthday as I was born on Jan. 25…so 25 …25th…I had a huge party and it was great! Pig pickin’ and the works! I have to say that I wish I was 25 still some days!! (I think I’m kinda vain…so getting old is not my favorite thing!) 🙂 But I’m getting used to it…I’ll be 29 for the like 4th time next birthday! 🙂

    I hope you have a great birthday!

#ad For too long, retirement has been painted as “slowing down.” But for me? It’s the opposite.

I see retirement as the start of bold adventures, family memories, and the freedom to keep moving and exploring — whether that’s traveling, staying active, or saying yes to new experiences.

✨I’m protecting my passion 

Because the people I love, the life I’ve built, and the retirement I want — it’s all part of my life’s work. And @Prudential can help protect it.
