Thirty, Flirty & Thriving!!!

Okay, maybe not so much "flirty" anymore, but you get the point. I've been dreading this one for a while, not so much as my last few birthdays, but dreading it never-the-less. I know all you older than me are rolling your eyes thinking "If she only knew how young she was...blah...blah...blah...". I understand that, as I'm sure 10 years from now I'll be laughing at the young girl's videoblog I'm watching that shows her complaining of being "old". Yet, I really DO feel 30 now. I've never been able to say that about any other birthday before. You know what I mean? When it's just another day that doesn't seem much different, except the presents & partying & such... but you still feel young? Not this day. I really feel 30. That's so strange to me. Yesterday, I was thinking "I don't think I'll ever feel my real age", but today it's a whole other story. Weird.

Anyway, to get on with it, I just wanted to announce to the world that I'm finally grown up! Yes, I'll still laugh uncontrollably like a 9-year-old at times, and cry my eyes out like a teenager at times, and act crazy like a 21-year-old at times.... but all-in-all, I'm grown up. Look out world, here I come!

Here's my little bro & I back in "the day"...

Here we are with daddy at HersheyPark a few years later...
And about a year ago at daddy's house when I was still a baby ;)

I wish I had one of us from this year to post, but no such luck. Thanks to my little bro for providing me with those first two pics from the younger days!
