marks a very special day for two very special reasons in my life. Number one being that it's my birthday!
Hard to believe another year has come and gone. Number two being that today the Royal Wedding took place. Can you believe it? On my birthday! (And everybody else who was/is born on April 29th)
I have to admit at first I wanted nothing to do with the wedding. Who cares what dress Kate was wearing? Or how she was styling her hair? Who cares?!? Well, after I came home from work today I just had to have a sneak peek at all the pictures and videos online. She was gorgeous! I am just a girl after all and as much as I try to deny that I don't give two stones about the royal wedding, I couldn't pull myself away from the computer. I even wiped away a tear, okay maybe two. Absolutely stunning bride and such a beautiful wedding, one that will be remembered for years to come.
In keeping with the wedding spirit I played around with the camera and took some practice close up shots of a wedding ring. Let's just say I felt inspired.
As for my birthday...I made it another year.
I have to honestly admit this year I really was not looking forward to my birthday. I was crabby for no reason, ok, there was a reason, aging. I would pick fights with my husband, like he can stop time?
I have never been more terrified of turning 30 than I have been up until now. I don't know if it's the number itself that scares me, or just knowing that I have lived for thirty years already?! Boy I feel old!
But in saying that, I also have thirty years of experience at life to add to my roster and that is something I am grateful for. The old saying of "been there, done that" has never rung truer.
I have lived through good times and bad, and I'm still here.
There are moments when I think of my youth and just sometimes wish to go back, not to try something new because quite frankly I chose this path and I'm damn happy with it (even when I'm cranky and I don't always show it) but to simply do it all over again.
Like a fine wine I have aged (gracefully I hope) and I have some wrinkles and grey hairs to show for it. I have been marked. Time has marked me. I am not a teenager anymore. My wrinkles will show you the experiences I've had. My grey hairs will show you that you live and learn and shall overcome. My knowledge is great and my memories are priceless!
Happy birthday to me, old timer! Here's to many more years and thousands more memories!
Keeping in theme with my birthday and my love for all things pink I wanted to share a few other photos with you. These are not my own so thank you to the ones that did take them because they are gorgeous!
Cheers, blessings and Love!
