word of the trip: Another year...

Another year...

As another birthday approaches and the fact that I am growing another year old, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and look back at my past birthday celebrations.
I could not stop laughing as I scrolled through the photos and was happy with all the memories that conjured up and made me feel like I was there again. I loved seeing how all of my friends and family have changed so much - we have grown bigger, older and possibly wiser...?

There is something about turning 27. I somehow don't feel young anymore, like I can get away with things. I feel as if I should be serious and settled. Do you think this is a beginning of a quarter life crisis? Well a quarter and a bit life crisis? I feel my face is changing and my body also. I guess most of these things are inevitable and I should be thank full that I am a woman and not a child anymore. But sometimes the innocence of a child and the way they think - how they don't have a care in the world, would be a great feeling to have.
I often think about how my mother had 2 children at the age of 27... I guess it's a different way of life now and could you actually imagine me with 2 children?

Celebrating a birthday in London has its positives and negatives. I am happy to be able to celebrate with my new friends but on the other hand I am sad to not celebrate it with my friends back home(I wish there was a way to transport everyone to the same place for just a moment in time). I will also miss not having the family birthday cake dinner and squeezing my nephews. But as the new year approaches, maybe I will get a chance to...

So, for you perusal below, here are my past 6 years of birthday celebrations. Don't judge the outfits or the hair styles....

My 21st in Bondi -Had the fabulous Clarisse come up from Melbourne and a private room for us all and Joey playing tennis barefoot the next morning... It was LOTS of fun!
