I believe it would be something along the lines of:

Voy a cumplir 21 años de edad.

I am turning (reaching) 21 years of age.

If I say something like next Thursday, would it be "Voy a cumplir 14 años de edad el próximo Jueves."? Thanks for the quick response. - whatchalookinat, Aug 28, 2011

or... Voy a cumplir 14 años de edad el jueves que viene. (Days of the week don't get capitalized unless they begin a sentence.) - Tosh, Aug 28, 2011
You don't have to say "de edad" by the way. Most people don't. - gintar77, Aug 28, 2011
You can also say "cumplo 14 el jueves" - GAC_, Aug 29, 2011

If you are 28 and you want to give the idea that you are getting closer to 30, you can also say "estoy llegando a los 30"
