Whelp! Here's to another year.... Okay, 25 was probably the hardest birthday ever because after 4 years of marriage and knowing exactly what the next 5 and 10 years was going to look like, I found myself newly divorced. I had never imagined myself 25 and single for the second time. Turning 27 was a hard because it seemed like I was no longer in my mid twenties but I had moved over the hump into my late twenties. And here I am at 28. I think I've had a whole year at 27 to get over the fact that I am now in my late twenties and I feel unexpectedly hopeful for the future. Although 30 seems super old considering how little I've accomplished in the past 10 years, I am surprisingly okay with being 28 (almost 30) and single, with no kind of real career. :)
Oh and on a side note, I thought it would be fun to make my favorite Orange Marmalade Cupcakes for everyone for my birthday. So only my visiting teacher has declined because she's on some kind of no sugar diet. Lame. But I brought a tray to work and I think I'll double the recipe next time.
Happy Birthday! For what it's worth, I didn't have a career until I was 30 and am still single, so if you need someone to look at think "I guess it could be worse", feel free to use me as an example. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes the cupcakes are delicious. :)
Did you save a cupcake for me? I want one. Congratulations on making it to 28! You're blessed that you get to find someone who will treat you the way you deserve! Don't feel bad that you don't have a "career." Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I just don't think women need careers to be fulfilled. You are one of the best moms and one of the most charitable people I know. I love you just the way you are! I hope you had the happiest birthday ever! Love, April
