Living out loud in the Carolinas

Today I was going to go help Shannon paint her nursery, but she was under the weather so we rain checked it. My nephews were spending the night with Papa & Gigi and Gigi invited me down for swimming and dinner and playing with the boys.
Mini cowboys in training After swimming we went next door for dinner with the neighbors. Kristen and Chuck are my age (33 & 38) but I feel so much younger than them. They are super nice, but just seem older. Like their decor is more old fashioned and they even act older than me. Maybe it’s because they have an 11 year old daughter. Maybe I’ll feel more adult and older once we have our child. But you know, I don’t even feel 34. I swear, like mentally I don’t feel any older than I did at like 29. Except for that I’m more secure with myself, my marriage, my place in the world. And I know who I am. And I like her. Is it weird that I’m such a young 34?

    I know what you mean. In my head I feel much younger. Although I know I’m not and my responisiblities are not.

    I get ya. I feel a lot younger than my cousins.. who are only a few years older than me. We have kids about the same age. But we are way younger and more fun than those guys. Right?
