I'm not so into the "growing old gracefully" and "embracing your age" stuff. I like being young, and don't much care for getting wrinkles, extra pounds, and all the other tokens of advancing age. I just want to remember the good old "Under 30" days and stay there.In my BYU Biology class, the professor informed us that up the the age of 20, we were building new cells and continually growing and learning. After the age of 20, our cells were basically done growing, and simply awaiting their pre-programmed cell death, or apoptosis. I was so depressed.
So, as I add another year to my age today, I'm going to try not to think about the dying cells or apoptosis. I'm envisioning clear, tight, non-adipose skin- both on my face and elsewhere. . . Isn't this how they tell you to do it in The Secret?
On a brighter note, Corey gave me the best birthday gift ever. He got up with Zach, who had been keeping me up all night with his tiny gurgling, whimpering noises, at 7am and let me sleep for a few blessed hours. It was heaven! Then I came downstairs to a beautiful arrangement of tropical, red Anthurium flowers, reminding me of beautiful Hawaii in this freezing snowstorm.

HapPy HaPpY BirThaDay NoeLlE DeAr. You don't look a day over
25. And look what you have to show for your life this far...pretty impressive I think. Well, Love you and thinking of you Today!
happy bithday noelle, the big 30 is coming up for me as well and i've been dreading it. :-( but i'd have to agree that you're pretty accomplished for such a YOUNG age :-) hope you have a great b-day.
Happy Birthday Noelle. I love the pictures. Zachary is a doll. I hope you have a great birthday. We love you.
Happy Birthday Noelly...It is funny, I look at the beautiful snow in your post and WISH I was only there to enoy it. You, on the other hand have probably had enough of dealing with driving in it and shoveling it and bundeling up for it...and rightly so. Hmmm, we always want what we don't have. When we are young, we want to be older and when we get older we would rather turn back the clocks...at least the ones that make us age. Life is such a mix of contradictions. Have a Merry Christmas.
Hey Noelle--I'll take your extra poundage when I turn 30 if I can keep it invisible like you (after just having a baby!!! So not fair.) Anyway, hope you had a great day! We're excited to see you in a few days!
