30, Oh My

I am no longer in my 20's. I'm sitting here remembering when 30 seemed old. Now, I know that it's actually young. I ended my 20's on a high note. I married someone who is perfect for me. He is the kindest, sweetest, most genuine person I've ever encountered. I didn't see this happening in my 20's but it did. And now, I feel like I'm starting my 30's out big too. 30 is the the age I become a mother.
15 years ago when I thought of being 30 I imagined things a bit differently. I would have been married for 10 years now, I'd have at least 4 of my 7 children. My husband would be done with school and we'd be celebrating this monumental birthday in Hawaii.
5 years ago when I thought of being 30 I also imagined things a bit differently. I'd be back in school or I'd be a fabulous career. And for this big birthday I'd be going on a fabulous trip with my girlfriends.
Then when I turned 29 I decided I'd go skydiving for my 30th birthday. But I guess that'll have to wait until another big birthday. Maybe my 40th birthday as long as I'm not pregnant then.
I've been very blessed in my life. I know this. I have a wonderful family that I was born into and I also have a wonderful family that I married into. I know they all think I'm a bit quirky at times but it's okay, I love them and they all love me. I've been blessed with Brent. I am blessed to have this baby growing inside of me. I,m blessed with friends who are the greatest ever, many of them are like family to me.
