32 and Counting


It's official, I am NOW 32 years old... I had a GREAT birthday!! I started the day by attending the morning session of General Conference IN THE CONFERENCE CENTER!! I was so so excited to be there for my birthday!
We had lunch at Cafe Rio - which I LOVED - so yumm-o!
Looked at bridal things with my sister, walked around the mall, and then hurried back to my mom's so K could go to the priesthood session of conference. I am SO glad he did because he ran into our good friend. After conference we met up with him and his wife. We ate at the Mayan with them and my family. It was great to catch up with them. We were also entertained by the divers at the Mayan - Miss M loved that! Just a note - if you eat there I would NOT recommend the mashed potatoes - they put cucumbers in them and it is not very appetizing at all! But they have this Mango pie dessert that is SO good!
Mostly it was just the great company, my family and friends that made my day so special!

Here are a few things that I have not liked about being 32 - and maybe it has nothing to do with 32 - but it seems like it to me...
  • I have wrinkles - crows feet around my eyes
  • I have had more zits/pimples/blemishes since I have turned 32 then I have had in my whole 32 years - its terrible and I am sorry if I sound snobbish about this, but I have always been proud of my nice blemish free skin and every once in a while when I would "break out" it would be one or two maybe three, (and the end of the world) but never more. Right now as I am typing this I have 23 on my face - I mean really WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?!?!
  • I feel more stressed (again don't know if that has anything to do with being 32, but it seems to have happened after I turned 32
  • I have grey hair! not just the one or two that would sneak up, but its starting to appear in my root line and my side burn area - so much (to me) that I told K, I was ready to get highlights...
  • I have less tolerance for people- yet I feel as though I am so much more calm with my children
  • and I just feel older - I haven't felt this with other birthdays, but this one, I do

SO tell me, what do you do to have nice skin?
Do you have grey hair? Have you had an age that you just can't get into?
