So today is my 29th Birthday. 29 is such a weird age.
I remember when I thought 30 year olds were so OLD and MATURE. I do not feel like either of these things! I keep waiting to feel like I'm an adult, but it never seems to happen. I'm not freaked out at the idea of turning 30. (well at least not yet, I have a whole year to get freaked out!) What really freaks me out is that since I am now 29, in a little over a month my daughter will be 9. Now that seems old and mature. How can she already almost be 9? Half of my time with her is almost over. I keep telling her to stop growing, but apparently I do not have that type of control. It was kind of funny this morning my dad wished me a happy 28th, and after I corrected him, he said he was trying to remember what he was doing the day I was born and he said he couldn't remember. Now I will give him credit, it was 29 years ago, but I do not think i will ever forget the day my daughter was born. That day changed my life forever. Maybe that was the day I became an adult? Maybe I get to spend the rest of my life feeling like I did that day because that was the moment all my priorities changed and I became respondsible. That's really what being an adult is all about anyway, right? I guess I'll stop waiting to "feel" like an adult and just relish every minute I get to spend with the now almost 9 year old who changed me forever.
