One Year Older, One Year Wiser

October 17th 2010 / 1 minute to read

Today I am twenty-nine years old.

It will be the second birthday in a row where my twin sister has decided to not spend it with me.

I don’t expect much will happen. Most likely little to no contact from my parents, maybe a few “Happy Birthday!” via facebook and twitter, and I think the only person that will visit will be my friend Jenn.

I have no plans for the day, hoping for good weather though so perhaps we can go for an Autumn drive or maybe go to the Chicago Botanic Garden or Morton Arboretum.

I still can’t believe all that has happened in the past year, hell the past two years actually. My entire world has changed, for the better, and I am grateful for it every single day.

I have a wonderful family with an amazing fiance and our sons.

I’ve lost twenty pounds since July. I’ve met fabulous people online. I can only hope this next year, my last year in my twenties, is amazing.

Happy Birthday Sarah. 29 I will always remember as the year I got pregnant although I didn’t find that out until the day of my 30th birthday. However I was stoked because I always wanted to be pregnant in my 20’s. So I hope your year is amazing. I guess it will be the year you get married hey? Wish wisely and wonderfully so they all come true!

Thank you! Oh geez, MARRIED! It will most likely happen next month as this month has the birthdays and December is too “holidayish” and busy lol.

I NEVER could have imagined when I was 18 or even 27 that I would be sitting here, in my OWNED house, with TWO children and engaged. INSANE to me!

Happy birthday! I hope it’s great spending it with Danny, Keith, and Tristan. Those guys all love you more than can be explained.

Thank you so much! I think we might go to the Botanic Garden if the weather works out for us!

Happy Birthday and lots of wishes for your special day!!! You’re a wonderful person, Sarah and it’s a shame that your sister has to be such a wanker and doesn’t see what a lovely sister she has. Her loss! But, you – you have a sweet fiance, and two absolutely adorable children and you deserve every happiness they can bring!
Have a lovely, sunshiny day!!!

I’m coming out of lurkdom here to wish you a happy birthday, Sarah! I’ve been stalking your blog for about a month or so now, and I really enjoy reading everything you’ve written.

Anyways, I hope you have an awesome time being 29!!! Have a wonderful time today :)

Happy Belated Birthday. I’m sorry that your twin didn’t want to celebrate with you. She doesn’t know what she’s missing.

I am glad that you are so happy with your life right now. I hope you continue to feel this way and you have another great year.

Thank you! It was hard. Even my brother and father ignored my birthday.
