I am officially 30! People have asked me how I feel about it and, honestly, it kind of feels a lot like 29 which feels a lot like 25. It kind of all blends together. But I have used this "milestone" to take a step back and look at my past as well as my future. Overall, I just feel so darn grateful. I was given a wonderful childhood with loving parents who I appreciate even more now that I am a parent and now that I only have one of them here with me. I am so thankful for experiences and opportunities I was given, the people I met who taught me life lessons (good or bad), and for the husband I have always prayed for and the children who have made me a completely new person. I look forward to watching my family grow and making memories together and I'm excited to see what life has in store for us. I understand that life as I know it is completely privileged and I hope I can share what I have been given with those who need it. How could I complain about turning thirty when life is such a gift?
I celebrated with family and a hot chocolate bar yesterday and today I rode around town with Paul on his scooter and ended the day with my kids watching Mickey's Christmas Carol. I'd say it was a good one.
