49 going on 20
Hi, my name is Carol and I have a gift experience that blew me away. First I thought it was weird, but as I went along with it and got into it, everything seemed normal and it was so much fun.
2 weeks before my 49th birthday, my husband asked me if I were to be a certain age again, what would it be? I told him 20. My birthday was on a Friday, so it was perfect. He asked 3 of our coupled friends to find babysitters and we were going to have a 20th birthday for me.
Friday came and at 3 p.m. he left saying we have a date at 7 p.m. The girls showed up a little before 5 p.m. We did our nails, our hair, and we laughed at the idea when we realized that we were having so much fun and we haven’t even started yet. I was expecting him to show up at the door at 7 but he was 20 minutes late.
Finally he showed up, but not at the door. He was knocking at the window which really frightened me. At first I was going to call 911 until my friend realized who it was. There he was standing outside and I asked him what he was doing. His reply “I didn’t want to wake your parents.” So we snuck out the window. Here we are 49 year old along with 3 other friends about the same age, sneaking out the window. How crazy is that.
We walked to the end of the block where the other guys were at and we just couldn’t stop laughing, at least us girls couldn’t. We first went to a small restaurant, nothing fancy at all, almost like a drive through but also had booths inside. First thing our friend says is “Party of 8 for a 20 year old birthday girl.” There are a couple of us that don’t drink, we had milk shakes, the others had a beer. Afterwards, the restaurant brought me a cake.
We then went to the movies. Behind the movies there’s a little lake, with a walking trail, ducks and it’s lighted. The guys brought bread and we fed the ducks and walked and talked. There were times when we were all walking and laughing together. Then there were times when it was only the couples together. It was really sweet. It was about 3 in the morning when they dropped us off at home.
We went to the door. He kissed me goodnight. I knew he had something else planned. He said I better go inside before my parents catch us. I went to our room and to the window when I saw a little picnic area. He said it’s a midnight snack. It was a little after 3. He had made sandwiches and brought chips, I was a little hungry so the timing was perfect. After that I was extremely tired. We must of gone to sleep about 5 in the morning.
I loved every minute of it. He says he could have done things a little different but I think everything was just perfect. I loved the idea of having a 20th birthday for my 49 birthday. Anything is possible on your birthday.Carol

Thanks for this.
I just had a similar experience. Only I had a kids party for my 42nd b’day.
Even at 42, I am still thrilled at the sight of balloons.
