Another year older
On December 23rd I turned 32. Turning 30, two years ago, was a little difficult for me, just because it seemed as though I was entering a completely different phase of my life and I didn't quite know how to approach it. Honestly I still felt 21 and wasn't sure if I was acting it too! :) After the initial adjustment into the thirties, it has been great. The girlfriends trip that Heidi Jo, Carrie and I took last summer to celebrate our thirties only made me feel younger. We laughed like we were teenagers and talked until the wee hours of the morning. Of course we came home to a house full of kids, which quickly set us back into reality. I know that this decade will be extremely busy with raising kids and such, but so many rewards go with that also. I don't know at what age I will feel 'old' but right now I am enjoying this stage of life and look forward to each year of my thirties!

Happy Belated Birthday!
I am nearing the end of my thirties and am a little nervous about that...enjoy the time, the "thiries" are pretty great!
I'm slowing getting closer to 50. I feel like I'm thirty. Each time a read a blog like yours I'm reminded that I'm more like a mother to most of you than a girlfriend. Sometimes it just makes me feel very lonely at this point in my life.
Enjoy your 30's. It really is a fast moving time. I continue to wonder where those years went.
You are a wonderful mother and wife. You have so much to look forward to in the next years. Yup, the thirties are amazing years.
Happ Birthday Teresa! I spoke about feeling your age once as well. It's a very strange thing, isn't it? I wonder if one ever gets to the point where each day they feel their age? Maybe some day we'll find out. For now, respect the number 32 and enjoy feeling 20 something. ;)
Happ? Happ? I think I need some ginkoba or something. Beware of 33!!!
that is a horrible, horrible picture! ...of me!
i am in the same boat. i keep waiting to 'feel' the age i am. i hope i never do!
i didn't forget, by-the-way...i've just had your card with a gift sitting on my counter for the past three weeks! are we going to get together or what?
I'm laughing, because I was positive that Heidi would comment about the picture LOL!!!! You are beautiful Heidi and you are too Teresa!!! I think we looked a little ragged because it was after our "mishap" in the forest for 3 hours!!!! Oops... sorry, that was wrong, because we were sitting on the deck drinking a cold one after that episode.
Teresa, I feel the same way you do... like I can't possibly be in my 30's. I still feel like the teenager I was a few years ago :) Just maybe a little smarter.
I wish you a very happy birthday...
Love you alot.
Carrie
Okay, Heidi and Carrie, this is the ONLY picture I had of the 3 of us on our trip. I was thinking that Heidi and I looked a little ragged and Carrie Jo looked flawless....how did that happen?!
Oh well, it was good times nonetheless!
You all look beautiful, so quit
your griping. ;-D
Happy Birthday, Teresa. I hope you enjoy your thirties as much as I did. (I'll be entering the next decade of my life really soon.)
Happy Birthday! I too have finally realized that I am out of my 20's and have entered the 30's. I don't think it will be so bad. Enjoy it and you are only as old as you feel!
Age is just a number.
You look beautiful and I hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday!!!
Here's to being 32!!! We are the same age for a few months...
I think. I think I am 32. Oh.My. I tend to forget my age all the time. Dawson has to remind me!!!
I have finally learned to enjoy the 30s...now that they are soon ending for me. Okay I guess I have a few more years.
Happy Belated B-day and congrats on all the adoption paperwork send off. My hubby is heading to Ethiopia the end of this month. I don't think he will be bringing home a child but hey one never knows these days. :-)
I'm still waiting to feel my age and you can only guess how old I am!! Even when you look in the mirror and see the changes happening you don't feel it inside!! Who knew?? You all look like the girls who use to come and our house after cheerleading pracitce or bb practice!! Haven't changed a bit!! Happy Birthday, Teresa!! Love the other Mom
Teresa,
Enjoy it girl! Happy Belated Birthday! You are still a young pup...enjoy life, enjoy your family, and take time to really be present with where you are right now! (It truly goes by too fast!)
Melissa
Dang girl, do you EVER take a bad picture?!?!
All I know is that I wish I looked as young as you and I'm still in my 20's!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
:)
Blessings to ya dear friend!
