Debi, ur story gave me hope!
Like Schatzie ill be turning 40 in a few months and i think ive had every rimple reducing cream on the market, when i turned 30 i cryed all day and stayed in bed till i was a day after 30, i KNOW im pathetic, but to me 30 was OLD, everyone that came around expecting a piece of birthdaycake were in fits of laughter, coz i was to be found in my bed with the curtains shut and since that day ive been dreading the big 40...
My hubby will be 50

a month before my birthday, we got married for the first time in may of 2004, our wedding was such a blast that we decided to give a 3 in 1 party in june of 2005, his 50th my 40th and 1st anniversary, BUT as time comes closer i get the jitters and want to forget all about the 3 in 1, instead i have the urge to RUN away... i really dont know where to hide myself....
On our wedding anniversary we are going to dress up again ( me in my dress and hubby in his tux ) and we are going to have photo's taken at different locations,instead of holding flowers in my hand, ill make Chelsey a flowergirl dress in the same color as my wedding dress and hold her, this i want to continue every anniversary for as long as we can and make an album, im already picturing myself at 60 having to sit on the couch for the pics coz the dress probably wont fit me anymore

lol
Then i look at my mom at 65 and she looks REALLY great, so i hope i have her genes!
i have no idea why i am so frantic about those numbers, i cant wait for summer to start, but this year i am dreading it only because of the 40.
i have asked my hubby how he feels about the 50, he said it doesnt bother him at all... to him its just a day and maybe an experience, ive asked him if he wants us to do anything special on THAT day and he said: what ever u do just dont hang balloons outside, he tried to manipulate me by saying that i have to remember that my birthday is only a month after hes and he wont forget "payback"
