Feeling old...
I've been totally fine with the 30 thing. I have my citizen jeans, I shop at american eagle and even pac sun or abercrombie every so often, I'm still cool...right? Well, we had the missionaries over last night. One was on his 2nd day! It used to be we'd relate to them really well. Erics a pretty good story teller so the missionaries seem to think his conversion story is pretty funny. They'd say how cool and fun we are, etc. BUT last night the young one said to eric- "YOU TOTALLY REMIND ME OF MY DAD! "
Then I mistakenly made myself uncool by telling a story about a girl in Sunday school brings her Ipod and text messages throughout the class. I was totally expecting a shock form him, like why would she do that? BUT he says, ya my bishop used to text message me in sacrament and tell me to put my phone away. *sigh*
Then- He showed us his pre mission drivers license pic and he looked like a Jonas brother, Brynly loved that, a little starry eyed even! She stayed at the table almost the whole time.
Oh well, heres some fun quotes I found:
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Albert Einstein
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age. (cool, still young)
Victor Hugo
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. (I'm not sure if I agree but a good thought)
Winston Churchill
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. (HA!)
Tom Wilson
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. (Amen to that one)
Paulo Coelho
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle. (how many times have I heard that excuse!)
Bob Hope
To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am. ( going to start using that one)
Bernard M. Baruch
Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese.

AND FINALLY
At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn't thinking of us at all. ( I'm ahead of the game, I've stopped worrying about what others think of me,....as much.)

haha, i enjoyed reading those quotes, but not as much as i loved reading your story about the missionaries. hilarious! everytime i see missionaries, i think, "there's no way that kid is 19!"
Sarah you're so young...at heart!
That's hilarious! I've been totally feeling old. I still have 2yrs before the 30 bday though ;)
I don't get the ipod/text church thing either. I feel really old when I think of the no cell phone days at school. But we had pagers! I wonder if kids would even know what one looked like?
This is why you have to live through your kids i guess.
