birthday.

Today is my birthday.

I am twenty-nine.

Can someone tell me how I got so old?

Twenty-nine seems kind of old to say, but it doesn’t really feel old at all.

Mostly, I still feel twenty-five. Sometimes I even feel twenty-two.

Anyways, it’s my birthday today and if I can make this year anywhere near like the last twenty-nine, then I guess I’ll be doing something right.

The best part of today is that it’s my mom’s birthday, too. I’ve always loved that about us.

Happy birthday, Mom. I LOVE YOU!

  1. Happy birthday! I hope it is filled with laughter, love, and relaxation!

  2. Happy happy birthday to you AND mom!

  3. Happy Birthday!!!! I’m 29 too. I feel like my inner age and real age met at 26. Ever since then I don’t believe how old I am.

  4. Happy Birthday, beautiful girl! I was surprised to learn that you are 29 – mostly because you look like you’re 22 ;) However, I find it really encouraging that you’re not 22, because in so many ways you seem to have life ‘figured out’ in a way that I so, so desire for myself. I’m not sure I could handle it if I knew you were so pulled together by say, 25 ;) . Congratulations on another wonderful year, and I hope 29 treats your right. xoxo! eliza p.s. you are so. darn. pretty!!

  5. Happy Birthday Anna! (from one Virgo to another; my birthday is on Friday and I’m also turning 29)

    I hope you make this year one filled with spectacular memories!

  6. Happy birthday Anna! I hope at 29 I still feel as young as I do now and that I’m still living a full life. So glad you are doing that! That’s one of my favorite things about you – that you just love life so much and CELEBRATE how wonderful it is all the time, not just the special times when you’re supposed to. Have a wonderful birthday girl!

  7. Happy birthday to you! Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating. I love that you and your mom share birthdays!

  8. Happy birthday to you + your mom! That is so cool + special. I hope it’s filled with fun, photos, and cake. Lots of cake.

    And I never would have guessed that you’re 29. You definitely don’t look like it to me! :)

  9. Happy Birthday to you, and your mom!

  20. Happy Birthday FRIEND!!! I agree…sometimes when I say 29 out-loud I throw up a lil bit. Wasn’t it just yesterday we were celebrating birthdays at the B-Hiz with Keystones and Timberland playin on the i-pod???

    LOTS OF LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Happy late birthday friend :) you look lovely. My sister is 29 and I always find it so hard to believe. Although I am 25, I constantly have to remind myself I’m not 20, or 22, 23, etc. I know the feeling!
