My old housemate Carline turned 30 today and I helped celebrate her birthday last night at the Chateau Briand. On my way there, I thought to myself 30 is only 3 1/2 years away and I'm definitely not where I thought I would be in life. I ran all the shoulda, coulda, woulda's through my head, the different choices I would make if I had a second chance, and where I went wrong along the way.
As I arrived at the venue and I saw my friend looking extremely happy, very sexy (loved her red dress), confident, and thankful; it made me think of the trials, stress and unpleasant times we both experienced during the time we've known each other but look where we are now.
Carline has so much to be thankful for. Friends and family that love her, a new career, a man she adores (and visa versa) and so much more. I now know 30 is not the end but actually the beginning. All the adversity faced and horrible decisions made in your twenties are life lessons to bring you to a successful rest of your life and I hope to enter it with style, grace, charisma, beauty, and charm as my girl Carline did last night.
awwww that is soooo sweet! I totally agree! Thanks for being one of those friends!!!
