In real life, I would never just waltz up to a group of friends (or strangers) and announce that today is my birthday, but somehow, on a blog, it's not so weird.Today I turn twenty-nine. It's very strange to me, that I'm approaching thirty. I remember the year my parents turned thirty. And my mom has warned me that turning 30 is pretty weird. But I'm not thirty yet, much to Neal's, (age 31 11/12) frustration. I've got one more year in my twenties and I'm going to LOVE it. :)
Today, as I get sentimental and look back on my twenty-nine years, I am quite satisfied with what I have accomplished and who I have become. I've earned a college degree, worked long enough to know that I don't want to do that for the rest of my life, found a lovely man to marry me and let me stop working, and I am on my way to raising three hopefully positive, happy children. I've gained many more friends than I've lost and grown closer to my family as each year passes. I can't think of a single regret. My life is lovely and incomprehensibly blessed and I don't know why, but I'm trying to live up to it, if there is such a thing.

Happy birthday! And enjoy your 20s. I turned 30 this year and it was a lot harder on me than I thought it would be. I'm not sure why now, but at the time I was bummed!! Hope you have a great day!
Happy birthday Leslie! I love you! The thirties aren't all that bad, by the way. After all, I'm 32, and I'm still painfully hip.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a great day and know how much you are loved. 29 is rough for me too. I am totally freaked out about the big 3-0. Or maybe we should just call it 20-10 (like Drew Berrymore in "Fever Pitch.") Love you!
Happy Birthday!
happy birthday from provo! love you les.
we love you leslie! that was a great blog - may you always feel that way about your life. also love the picture from post ranch inn! mom and dad
You know, they say that 30 is the new 20... but since that doesn't happen till next year, you've got no worries! Have a great day, I hope you get to do something just for you... after all, one needs that every so often!
Happy Birthday Leslie! In six months I'll join you at 29 and I truly can't believe the how the time passes. I agree with you in feeling incomprehensibly blessed, not knowing why, but trying to live up to it. Happy Birthday, katie

FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!
Happy Birthday! Hope you did something fun to celebrate. Really touching entry.
Happy Birthday, Leslie! I hope you've had a fun day. Take care.
Happy Birthday to You! Eat lots of cake.
happy b-day Leslie. I always used to laugh at people who were having a hard time turning thirty but each year that I get older I find myself more and more scared to reach that milestone myself.
Happy, happy birthday, Leslie! This year was #39 for me, and that was weird. You're still a spring chicken and you should live it up! Love you!
