Thirty

In just a few short months, I will be turning a corner that no young woman looks forward to turning.  I will be turning the corner of THIRTY.  It's not that I mind being thirty.  I'm not really one to care about my age.  It's just that thirty, literally, doesn't sound fun.  Twenty is a pretty word to say.  When you say any twenty number, it almost rolls off your lips and hangs in the air.  Thirty sounds like you fell in a ditch, and a muddy one at that.  Try it.  Say "Twenty."  Now say "Thirty."  Doesn't it sound all hick-ish, and old and tired and....non-fun. 

Okay, okay...so enough on that.  I think any monumental birthday makes you stop and think about your life.  Where you've been.  What you've become.  Who you're becoming still.  As I look back on my past twenty nine years, (won't say thirty yet) I feel very very blessed.  I've been so blessed to live a life of complete happiness.  My parents gave me nothing short of a picturesque childhood.  My teen years were full of fun with good friends and loving family.  My college years were good for growing and learning.  The love of my life (literally) made my prayers and dreams come true by proposing to me at Utah Lake when I was 21.  Complete happiness and pure joy has followed.  Marriage has been exciting and great.  Kids have come easily and when we've wished.  Yep!  I've been spoiled and I will fully admit that.  Life has treated me good, and I'm so grateful for the twenty nine years Heavenly Father has given me. 

And as I look into the upcoming twenty nine years, I'm excited.  Our kids are growing up and just getting cuter everyday.  My husband, (who also turns thirty this year....sooner than I too, I might add) is looking amazing and oh so handsome.  We have a beautiful home...

I guess I just wanted to put out a post showing appreciation for my life.  What a wonderful world!  (Isn't that a song??)  It's a wonderful life!! (Isn't that a movie??) 

That's all folks.  (Isn't that a...)
