I don't blog as often as I probably should, but I thought a recent event made it appropo. Well, it finally happened last week. I could no longer prolong the inevitable. I turned 30. The "college years" are gone. But I've come to the conclusion that age really is completely relative though. It all depends on your audience, and most importantly, how you see the glass.
I can say that we have lived our 20s to the fullest. We've done more things in our 20s than most folks do in a lifetime. From traveling around Europe to ski trips in Beaver Creek staying at the Ritz (thank you Marriott points) to laying on the beaches of Mexico and the Caribbean (thank you again Marriott points), we have definitely lived it up in ways that are too numerous to count.
Katherine's 30th birthday is swiftly approaching, and I should mention that she continues to get carded at Whole Foods, mainly because that's the only place where we're buying alcohol these days. For some reason, that still frustrates her! I'm not sure why? I think it's all an act and deep down it really is satisfying.
She did make me her "irresistible chocolate cake" recipe again for my Birthday. The first time she made the cake was one weekend when I went down to visit her in Austin. We managed to polish off the whole pan that weekend before I went back to Georgetown. Since the first tasting, that cake has marked many a milestone in our relationship, including graduation from medical school. She will sometimes put nuts in the icing or fresh raspberries on top, but one thing's for sure, it never gets old. I think it is my favorite cake next to our wedding cakes, which in my professional cake-eating opinion were the best cakes I have ever eaten, respectively.
We didn't eat the whole cake in one weekend this time around, but we did still eat it over the course of 72 hours as my Birthday was on a Sunday. One casual observation I have made since turning 30 is that my waistline is not as forgiving as it was that weekend in Austin.
