50 years of shenanigans

~ 50 in Frooty Pebbles Krispie Treats (thank you Tori!) ~

Yesterday I turned 50. The Big 5-Ohhh.

Or as I call it, The Big 5-NOOOOO!!!

~ Little Meg ~ 

As a kid I couldn't fathom that age. It was positively ancient.

Then I became an adult. And I still couldn't fathom that age.

So I admit I'm having a very difficult time. I didn't see it coming.

First I was in denial. Then just really, really depressed :(

~ Birthday Love ~

I made this (above) years ago. I've always LOVED my birthday!

I wait for my birthday and the holidays like a little kid.

But not this year...

~ Non-Birthday Love ~

Yeah... kind of a bad attitude lately :/ 

But knowing it was coming, I tried to be a good sport.

I knew there was not one single thing I could do to stop it.

I had to put my big girl panties on and DEAL with it!

All my adorable friends helped me (of course!)

They took me to breakfast, brought gifts, sent emails, cards,

texts... FB'd me, called me, stopped by with gifts & treats... 

you name it, they went above and beyond for me!

My husband and boys walked the extra mile for me too.

They helped me get the whole house decorated for Christmas - 

inside and out! Even my porch! It took almost all day :)

They listened to Christmas carols, watched Christmas movies,

and ate Round Table pizza with me (that was not hard).

In the end, it turned out to be a pretty amazing birthday :)

~ Me. Before I became Mrs. Puff ~

Thank you, loved ones, for being such good friends...

and for helping me and supporting me and loving me...

through this big milestone.

I may be 50 (still can't say that out loud)

but I will always and forever be young at heart.
