First I'd like to thank everyone for all the Birthday wishes and love sent via Email, Facebook and Twitter. I seriously can't stop smiling!! It's overwhelming how many people I do have in my life that care and support me. I'm ashamed of myself for isolating and pulling away from everyone when things were falling apart and couldn't snap out of my depression. I'm forever grateful to have each and everyone of you in my life. You will never know how much love I have for those who never left my side no matter how hard I pushed them away. Thank you will never be enough to express my gratitude.
On a lighter note... I have a little bit of time to squeeze in a preview blog while I'm sitting in McCarran airport heading to Vancouver, BC! Yay! Last night I spent a good amount of time writing out what turned into a very emotional blog. I'd like to spend a little more quality time with it as I really poured my heart into explaining my life up to this point. Things have been an uphill battle and it's never been easy to get here, but somehow I made it. Granted I'm still not where I'd like to be at the ripe ol age of 30, but I've forgotten about all the great things I've accomplished. All joking aside I've had a childhood fear that I would never make it to today. Some sick gut feeling that I would never see 30 would repeat over and over in my head especially as a teenager. And here I am! No one will ever really understand I guess, but if you saw the life I've had to live one might think that I would be long gone by now too. But all that is in the big blog and boy is it big. (That's what she said!)
Now for the most important thing... I get to see my BFFF Alex Lee Behan (http://www.alexleebehan.com/) in just a few hours! (BFFF is a Pineapple Express reference: Best Fucking Friends Forever) I couldn't even think of a better birthday present. If you've read my previous blogs you'd know how excited I am and that I really wouldn't be here today with out this amazing woman in my life. Be expecting lots of updates on my Twitter page: www.twitter.com/LaceyJones and many blog posts to come! And one more thing... Mommy I love you and thank you for bringing me into this crazy world.

Glad you're having a great time, bud. Trust me, i understand about the surprise of still being around, no one ever thought I'd make it past 25 the way i used to be....but within each of us...ok, let's be honest, within a select group of us is the ability to overcome the obstacles placed in our path and make ourselves better than anyone ever gave us the credit of being able to be. I'm not quite where or who I want to be yet either, but I'm starting to think I can see it from here.
Enough deep thoughts.
Go out, enjoy yourself, and have a great time, my friend. And know that, no matter what, you'll always have at least one person that cherishes how special you are.
And maybe you'll be around to help me celebrate the 3-4 this year when I hit sin city ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! **looks sheepish** A wee bit late!! :-P
Sooo..I hope your having a blast and all is going well.
Happy birthday!
I wish I was so lucky... I always have felt like I won't live to see 40. I only have 10 more years left to live maybe.
Oh, and happy birthday, of course. :)
