Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop 50

November 17, 2013 by Carrie

Today Is A BIG Day!

Today I’m turning 34 but in my mind I still feel like I should be 25.  

How in the world is it possible I’m already 34?  Where did the time go?

Middle Age

My hubby is a high school science teacher and you’d never believe the crazy things he hears from his students.

One day they were discussing middle age and one student chimed in and said that she thinks middle age starts at 34.

Really?!?

According to this lovely girl, I’m middle aged.

Uh–no.  I don’t think so!

All jokes aside I am very thankful for the years God has given me.  I’m thankful for all He’s doing in my life lately, that I’m healthy and I have lots of friends I can truly call my family.

Now…On To The Party!

Five bloggers host this party–which means 5 times the exposure for your posts!  Your posts will show up on my blog as well as Jordan from Lily White. Designs, Amy From A Blossoming Life, Sara from Sneaky Spoons, and Katie from The Casual Craftlete.

    34 – you’re a proper grown up now! Happy Birthday. I remember telling my Mum she was middle aged at 35, I must have been 7! I did apologise years later.

    Happy Birthday! I know exactly how you feel when you say you still feel 25. I turned 27 this year and I still feel like I’m 18 pr 21 some days. Its like I was 18 and blinked and all of a sudden I’m 27. Where does the time go!

    Happy Birthday, Carrie! Wow! If you’re middle-aged at 34, I must be positively ancient at 42! lol What do those kids know anyway? Hope your day was happy. Thanks for the party. Have a great birthday week…you are celebrating all week, right? 😉
    Blessings,
