One Year Closer to 30
I turned 29 today. Just one more year and I’ll be 30.
This age feels so strange to me. One moment I think I could actually go back to living in the sorority house and going out on Thursday nights with my friends. The next moment I think about the future and MM growing up and us eventually having grandchildren. I’m both a kid and an adult.
This birthday was the same as many–spent on the farm with my family. C. took me to a steakhouse in our little downtown (we walked there) on Friday night. Yesterday my grandmother took me to eat Chinese. C. got me a Rosanne Cash CD I’d be wanting and a card. I was excited with that. Then I read the back of the card and saw he had gotten us two fourth row tickets to see the Temptations in January. I was THRILLED! I love the Temptations. My parents got me the schoolhouse light for our porch that I told y’all about a couple of weeks ago and I can’t wait to have it installed. My grandmother gave me some “fun money”. I got a cookie cake with so much icing I about cried with happiness.
All in all, a really good birthday and I feel so happy that on this 29th birthday I am surrounded by love. I am so thankful that 29 years ago today my birth mother decided to give me to my parents. I am truly blessed to have the family I do.

Happy Birthday! Just a side note, I had a friend in college who was adopted and here last name was Cooper as well.
Sounds like a lovely birthday!
Happy Birthday! Glad to hear it was great!
I celebrated my 29th on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I, too, find that this year I saw so many more things to be thankful for! Maybe it is my worry of hitting 30:)
