My parents are middle-aged! ;0<br /><br />I agree with you Kacey about mind and body and if I were you, I'd keep that 29 years thing going because you look it. <br /><br />I love you Aunt Lancy, and I will start to do that too.<br /><br />Jeanelle--now I have the missing pangs! Good advice all around, you sweet person you.<br />Jazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13252219783307983583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32343057.post-24452728641082565002014-01-30T12:11:33.392-08:002014-01-30T12:11:33.392-08:00oh my GOSH this made me miss you. Seriously! Like...oh my GOSH this made me miss you. Seriously! Like I'm having big time pangs right now. Reading it was like sitting next to you and chatting. Loved it! <br /><br />As your much older (leaving out the 'and wiser' part) friend, I will say the lead up to the big birthdays (and sometimes any birthday) is always the hardest. You worry and belabor and stress. You have all of these expectations of what your life was supposed to be like or whatever and then you get to that age and you think "ugh, I'm old." But what I'm really trying to say is the lead-up is what makes it hard and emotional for me. When I get to the age or just even to the next day, I'm fine. It's only a number. Yeah, the idea of getting older kind of stinks but we both know how blessed we are and how much we have to be thankful for. Love you so much! Oh and hair ALWAYS grows back...Jeanellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446232606140341091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32343057.post-41449327590393765512014-01-30T11:39:23.749-08:002014-01-30T11:39:23.749-08:00Sweet Jazzy, you are such a darling, smart, wonder...Sweet Jazzy, you are such a darling, smart, wonderful woman, I know there are lots and lots of great adventures in store for you! For some reason your post made me teary, you've grown up so fast. Anyway, with my life's experiences, I now look at each birthday and each passing year as an accomplishment. :)<br />Much Love, Aunt LancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32343057.post-48278649808785626922014-01-30T08:32:15.623-08:002014-01-30T08:32:15.623-08:00Great post, Jasmine!

I miss my twenties body, but I am loving my thirties mind :) Happy Birthday!!Kaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709473832346529845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32343057.post-81366921171192155132014-01-30T07:20:07.052-08:002014-01-30T07:20:07.052-08:00Oh pretty girl!

I think it was bcuz in my Development through the lifespan classed marked it as middle age and I really am not ready to be "middle aged"! We too are done having kidlets and sometimes that is hard, until someone else's baby cries! hahaha! Also, my weird facial hair, enlarged pores, slowing metabolism, and the occasional gray hairs don't seem to help me feel any better about it! That's just my pride speaking! I think I just might have to throw a huge Partay so I don't have a meltdown! Well you look fab and I wished we were closer to hangout, but I am glad your b-day ended up happy!!
