HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

So today is the day, I am officially 30 years old. I find myself thinking of this way more than I should, wondering do I feel different, the truth is, I kind of do. I stop and find myself thinking I will be referring to my past as "When I was in my 20's" it sounds so long ago. I think of all the things that I haven't accomplished that I wish I had before I turned 30 and wonder, did I waste time, did I goof off? What have I really done with my life and have I done anything I said I wanted to do? The truth is no I haven't done everything I wanted to do in my life, and realize that's ok, because my life isn't over, in many ways its just beginning, or we're on the next chapter of it, which is always ok, I love reading a book and I cant wait to get to the next page, the next chapter of what is to come, what I may find in my reading, and I get very excited, very nervous and anxious, so this is good, I don't know what is to come for me and this next chapter that is to come, perhaps Ill make it up as I go, and perhaps I will put deep thought into my happenings and my future and make some changes and spice it up. One thing is for sure, this baby will come out one way or another, he will make his entrance and make his appearance into this crazy and hectic world to find two people who are deeply in love with 3 gorgeous sisters that are going to spoil him, and drive him crazy all at once, my only hope is that we will provide him some safety, unconditional love and a place to call his home and his family.
So today, I will not do anything too great or wonderful, I will take my kids to school and pick them up and spend the day loving on them, making their meals and letting them know how very precious each one is to me, I won't cure cancer, I won't climb Mt Everest and chances are I won't rescue someone from a burning building, but today and for the rest of my life I will know I was loved far deeper than I ever thought possibly, I will have loved far more than I thought my heart can handle and I will know that I have what so many others lack or haven't found, and that simply is the gospel of Jesus Christ and for that I am truly blessed.

Today when I checked my sisters blog my heart was so touched by what she did on her blog for my birthday...it meant the world to me, the girls were standing beside me and Aaron standing behind me looking at these pictures and the sweet words that were written, it truly made my day, not too mention, I was so grateful to have my kids see how much my sister loves me and I love her, and that the relationship we have is so important, as is their relationship with each other. Thank you, thank you for including me on your post and remembering me. If you want to see some cute pictures check them out at www.ourpages95.blogspot.com
I hope you all have a great day...I know I will.

About Me

I am a happy reader...Im such a sucker for a good book. I get lost, and I become one with the story, its my greatest outlet. I needed somewhere to express and vent my feelings about how I felt about my books I was reading and this is where my blog was born.
