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.
These past two days have been a dream come true. I'm having the best time of my life with the sister I've always wanted. Alex gave me one of the best presents I've ever received: 30 things to do on my 30th birthday. Two days in and we have already gone through almost all of them plus more. I want to list everything and keep twittering, but I also want to enjoy this short amount of time here. I've been forcing myself to stay in the moment lately and not think of past or the unknown future. As a result each minute of this birthday getaway has been a gift. I'm the happiest I've ever been in my ent
ire life!!
