Turning 30 really didn't bother me a few months ago. Maybe I'm already too old to care. Maybe it's not a big deal. Maybe I'm weird because I really think you're only as old as you think you are...in which case I'm still 12. Or maybe it's because I knew I was GOING TO HAWAII!! My best buds from waaaaay back in preschool, Hannah and Brandi, decided we should all get together for a communal 30th birthday celebration. Brandi lives in Ewa Beach on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. We decided this would be a good place to visit and hang out rather than Charlotte or Mocksville.
I think we made a good choice. I did feel a little guilty each time I called home, especially because it snowed something terrible (at least for NC standards). Each morning when I got up, it was lunch time in NC when I called. Both Monday and Tuesday I heard Neil AND Olivia meaning they had a snow day out of work/school. Neil told my friend Kim when she was helping take Olivia to dance that he was going to meet me at the airport with a case of beer under his arm and then disappear. Hey, at least I know they need me.
