I’m turning 40 tomorrow.
Yep, it’s a milestone birthday; one that makes you ponder what I’ve done for the past decade. And while I might not have done everything I thought I would in the past 10 years (you know get pregnant and start our family and all …), I know that I’ve done enough to make my 30’s a memorable decade.
Turning 40 seems like I should be turning over a new leaf. I should eat better, exercise more, be more financially responsible. It’s like New Year’s Resolutions, except in July. And I don’t know about you … but I tend to fall off the “Resolutions wagon” midway into the second month.
At least I get a whole decade to turn over this leaf.
Seriously though, I hope that my 40’s is a lot less drama and a lot more fun. I hope that Hubby and I continue to find new and exciting ways to live our child-free lives fully and not in the shadow of living childless. (I see travel in our near future!) So that’ll be what I aim for over the next 10 years.
Here’s to jumping feet first into my 40’s!
Happy Birthday Emily! Woohoo, the big 40! I’m turning 44 in 2 months and I can say that so far the 40s aren’t bad! Wisdom is somehow very freeing! May your next decade be full of love and adventure! I do suggest healthy eating and exercise though too! 🙂
I’ll be right there turning over my banana leaf with you for several more decades. :*
Happy Birthday Emily!!! I know you will achieve beautiful and fulfilling things this decade! Hugs!
KC!

I’m now waiting for my 35th birthday, which will happen next year…I seem to now think that it’s gonna be the day when I can say to people “My eggs are getting old. Seriously. Stop wishing us to have kids. Don’t believe me? Check the facts online.” He he he he…If only they’d listen, though ha ha…
