I was so not looking forward to turning the Big 3-0. That number was so frightening to me! I have always imagined being in a different place in life when I turned 30. I thought I would have been married with a bunch of kids running around. So being single and 30 was certainly not my ideal! As 30 was approaching I just tried not to think about it because just thinking about it made me cringe. I mean who wants to turn 30? Let alone a single woman, who doesn't have a dating life to speak of...I mean how depressing!?! Back in the olden days if you were single at 30 you were considered a spinster...eekkk!
My Dad threw my Mom for her 30th (mind you she had all kids by 28) a surprise funeral. I'm not kidding!! Only for him to whisk her away for 2 weeks. Everyone I talked to about turning 30 was married and had kids...so of course 30 was a great bday for them. They had someone to share it with and had gotten everything they wanted , everything I desired having.
But turning 30 wasn't bad...it actually wasn't bad at all! It was amazing! The best one yet! A weekend getaway, extravagant gifts and 4 Bday celebrations later and I can't complain! All thanks to my wonderful family and friends. In fact I think I just might decide to turn 30 again next September. Because it was the most incredible Bday celebration of my life! UNFORGETTABLE!! I felt like a Rock Star!
I can't believe all that I have accomplished in the last 30 years and can't wait to see what all GOD is going to do in my life, how He is going to use me and what all He has planned for me. I am so thankful for the life GOD has given me and the amazing things He is using me for. I am especially thankful for my Amazing Family and Friends and how special they made me feel on my Big 30th. I love seeing the way GOD puts things together...don't you?
