What A Year...

Today I turn 28 years old. This morning I woke up, looked in the mirror and wondered where all the time went. Honestly, a lot of days I feel like I’m still 18 years old. The last 10 years have just flown by. I wish that this year would slow down just a bit, but I have a feeling that it’s going to be just as wild as the past 10. Maybe the infamous 29 will be the year for a slow down?

 

As I look around at my life I feel overwhelming joy at all the blessings in my life. I don’t need a single present for my birthday because life couldn’t get any better. I have a wonderful husband that works so hard to provide for our family. He loves me so much and takes amazing care of me and our children. He continues to surprise me and he makes me laugh every single day. I have three awesome children who are growing before my eyes. They have been blessed with tenacious personalities and remind me to enjoy the little things in life. Just last night Eliza told me that Jackson and her were going to make my birthday cake so I didn’t have to do it myself and spoil my birthday. I’m amazed every day at the love they give me and the love they give each other. I hope and pray that they continue to be such good friends and that they continue to develop into faithful and good-hearted individuals.

We have had our hardships and struggles but I have learned so much from them and I believe that I am a better person for making it through them. I know that life is just beginning, and although I’m not a big fan of rides--I’m strapped in tight for this one and I hope it continues to give me such thrills.

Thank you to everyone for the continued prayers and support. I don’t anticipate life slowing down any time soon, which means these blog posts might be few and far between, however I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated on life, and of course I’ll continue to share stories and opinions on life.

Remember to count your blessings--especially the small ones!
