Well I woke up Saturday morning and everything is ok. My tatas are still a little perky, there are no extra wrinkles, the scale is in the same place and my interests aren't leaning towards crossword puzzles and kitten sweaters. I'm still a hip chick, but I've officially left my 20's behind me. I am 30!
Thirty years ago my mom was told to go home because she wasn't having labor pains. Not to long after that around 2:15 am, my dad pulled over on the side of Blackman road and delivered me in the front seat of a 1969? Ford Galaxy. Can you believe it. The first people to see me within 5 minutes weren't doctors or nurses, they were my brothers and grandfather.
I can't believe how quickly time goes. From the front seat of a car to now my life has been full and blessed. I've had my ups and downs, flaws, disappointment, experienced loss and pain, had amazing times, gathered a great group of friends, bonded more than I could imagine with all of my families and, well, I've lived the best life I can live in Nashville. Although it's scary to think of how much more quickly 60 will come, I'm looking forward to another 30 years of my life.
For my birthday, I invited all of my amazing peeps and fam to join me for what turned out to be the best party of my life. Although it didn't end quite like I had planned, with Mark getting into a car accident, the party was still quite amazing and I felt so incredibly loved by everyone that came, and that helped. The food was delicious, my dad turned into Bartender Bob, the band, Backlit, tore it up, Uncle Russ helped me rock the photo booth for some memorable photos. To be able to share that night with everyone and to know how much fun they had is all I could have asked for.
Mark is doing well. He was quite shaken up, and I know it could have been worse. I'm so thankful that he's here with me, he's feeling fine and that we still have our car. I want him to know how very much I love him. Mark, thank you for being all that you are for me. Through everything that you and I have been through, we have stuck together for almost 14 years. Thank you for being so awesome about this party and for giving that to me. You wanted it to be so wonderful and I wish that you could have enjoyed it more. I love you and I don't know what I would do without you. I'm so glad you are ok and that you are my hubs.
So, lets hope that from here on, everything about 30 and on is a blessing, and at the very least, the simple expected parts of life. I love you all. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday.
