I think it is kind of fitting that this is my 100th post and today is my thirtieth birthday. I have definitely been making all of the requisite jokes, leading up to this birthday, over the last few months. You know the ones about having one foot in the grave and impending death, because life is pretty much over after thirty. ; )
To be honest I feel pretty much the same today as I have all this year and last year. The same as I have every year since I had a kiddo. Also, I don't have any lingering regrets (yet). I am where I thought that I should expect to be in life by this age. Except for the fact that I was counting on being gainfully employed (I wouldn't trade staying home with Claire, and starting next year Amelia, for anything). I have a career, even if it has been postponed, that I love. I have a wonderful, loving husband. I have a beautiful daughter and another one on the way. I am growing in my relationship with Christ and my family is happy and healthy. What more could I ask for?
I am so very blessed. I know there are days and moments when I take all of the things I have been given for granted, but today I am counting my blessings as well as my years. And I am here to say, "I am not scared of you thirty." I have achieved a great many wonderful things in thirty years and I cannot wait to see what the next thirty hold for me. So, happy birthday to me.
I was going to post a picture of myself and then realized that I don't have one. I could only find one picture of myself (without a baby, or spouse, etc.) that was taken in the last three years and I have braces in it. So you are stuck with just my words today.
The things that happen to our family and how I feel about them.
