I spent more than a year dreading turning 30. My tongue would get stuck
on the back of my teeth anytime I tried to say the dreaded word. In
all honesty I was afraid that 30 would come and go without any real
celebration. Now that might seem silly, but considering birthdays have
always been a big deal for me, and this was a BIG ONE, it was a
legitimate fear from my perspective. I asked Rebecca if I could turn
over planning of my birthday weekend to she and Ashley. She gladly
accepted the responsibility. As much as I wanted to ask what we were
doing I didn't. And I tried not to give too much input along the way.
