This week is my favorite week of the year.  My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary Monday and my birthday is tomorrow.  Did I plan this coincidental "week-o-fun" when I picked my wedding date?  Not really, but it's kind of cool it worked out this way.

One year of marriage... it doesn't feel like it's been a whole year, so that's a good thing right?  It definitely seems like 2007 flew by and the first half of 2008 is doing the same.  I can't believe it's already mid-June!  At this rate it will be Thanksgiving before you know it.

Not that one year of being married isn't a big milestone, but this week I become closer to 30 than 20.  I originally thought this would be no big deal, but now as my birthday looms just 24 hours away, I'm realizing what this truly means... I'm getting old.

Laugh if you want.  For those of you under 25, you'll feel my pain soon enough - and for those of you over 30, think back to how you felt when you felt the big 3-0 staring you down.  It doesn't seem like too long ago I was in high school... now my 10 year reunion is looming just around the corner.

Looking back to my "pre-21" days, I can honestly say that I don't know why I was ever such a rush to grow up.  Being an adult stinks... we pay taxes, insurance, mortgages and other bills for our cellphones, water, electricity, etc... Sure, you're on your own but most kids don't realize what that REALLY means.

This week, while I celebrate with my friends and family I'm subconsciously FREAKING OUT so take it easy on me.  I'm getting the feeling that next year won't be any easier.  So THIS is why ladies never reveal their age?!
