I've just been so incredibly busy in the last week, between travel for work, birthday celebrations, and my obsession with Downton Abbey (I'm almost fully caught up on the current season). I have hardly had two seconds to think about my little CupHalfFull.
Anyway, today is my birthday, and I don't know what it is about birthdays, but I love them. Getting to indulge a little - treating myself to a donut and a full-fat latte (none of that "skinny vanilla latte" nonsense this morning) and wearing bright red lipstick to work. Just makes the day feel a little more special when you put a little effort into getting ready :-)
I had a hard time turning 28 last year - don't ask me why. Perhaps it was the idea of finally entering my "late twenties" but I was in a serious funk. This year, I am excited for 29. It is my last year as a twenty-something, and I feel really content at where I am in my life. I live in a beautiful city, with the love of my life. We have a fabulous apartment in the most gorgeous neighborhood I can imagine. I have a wonderful new job that fulfills me, dear friends who are always there, and the most loving, encouraging family a girl could ask for.
28 ended up being a good year, but 29 is going to be the best year yet - I can just feel it.
Here's hoping I blow all my birthday candles out tonight!
I promise, I'll be back in action very soon, and my little blog will not go neglected :-)

Happy birthday! Enjoy being 29 and atleast for me, turning 30 last summer didn't feel as crazy as I thought it would! It's just a number right? xoxo
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I've invested in a good night cream, so I am hoping I can claim "29" for many years to come :-)
DeleteHappy, Happy Belated! Hope you had a fabulous celebration. I turned 28 last week and I can relate to the feelings of "entering the late twenties." I know 29 will be great for you!
