29 days of 29

In 29 days I'm having a kind-of-a-big-deal birthday. It's a big one. BUT I have 29 days left of 29. While I don't fear or loathe the next number in line... for some reason I woke up thinking about it today. Like, a lot. Even during my bible reading {through 1 John} it kept coming to my mind. Woah, 3 decades. It seems like it crept on me - came out of nowhere. Most days I still feel like a jr higher. And, perhaps, but hopefully this is untrue... I still ACT like a jr higher. {??}

My husband won't be in the country this year for my special day. I try not to think about it. It is just an another day for everyone else in the world. He'll be off to Haiti serving the Lord with some of our youth and their parents. For which, I praise God! But there's a teeny, weeny, tiny part of me that feels a little sad about his absence on that day. My Golden day, actually. Bah - I'll get over it. I'm sure we'll celebrate like crazy when he is home. :) 

I want to make the MOST of the next 29 days. I'm thinking today of creative ways to celebrate this whole month. I've come up:

-Write a list of 29 things every day that I'm thankful for. {Voskamp style}

-Try 29 new foods...tho, I'm a pretty adventurous eater already...so that could get real interesting.

-Take a walk every day for the next 29 days. 

-Kiss my babies 29 times every day

Yea, I'm still thinking. Got any ideas? What did you do upon approaching your milestone b-days?

Just for fun, I've googled some things that were popular in the year 1982 - my birth year. Let's all have a good chuckle as we look back! 

Who doesn't remember the Glow Worm?!

Every Grandma's house had one of these. :)

I vaguely remember this show as a little girl.

Mr. President - circa 1982

The car of "choice" in 1982. I'll admit... I giggled.

And, oh, the hairstyles...

And, I'll end with this, and I will never complain about my computer again after seeing it.

Happy weekend everyone!
