I'm really not one to let something like turning 30 get me down...but I have found myself randomly breaking down in tears-I know to some this might not be a big shocker...but it has caught me off guard. I don't think the tears fall thinking of the idea of turning 30-but maybe saying goodbye to the 20's. I've thought about it, and so many BIG things have happened in my 20's-
-Getting Married
-Loosing the twins-and all that entailed
-Graduating Collage
-Having Gabe
-Having Thaddaeus...just to name a few. I mean these are huge events! Life changing. All in one decade. Some things were very hard, but most were welcome changes.
While i'm sad to say goodbye to a decade that has held so many great memories...I'm excited for what this new decade will hold. One thing that I know is true is that God always had a hold on me-whether i'm 29, 30, 65, or 100. And I look forward to what He has for me and my family in the coming years. I know that there will be valleys, but I know there will be mountains as well and I will embrace them both. So here is to 30...thanks Lord for helping me get this far.
Here are some past Birthday memories to entertain you....
My 5th birthday-during a snow storm of course!
Turning 6!
7th Birthday party
8th Birthday party sleepover with my cousins Holly,Jenny, Amy and my friend Jessica
the big 10!
Sleepover for my 11th Birthday-we didn't get much sleep that night, and I know my mom didn't either-sorry mom.
my 15th birthday-yeah I had influenza...
but I had 5 sweet friends that brought me a cookie cake anyway!
one of my favorites...a surprise "party" after basketball practice while in collage-we all look like this because of a reaction to gas fumes from a mower that had some problems in the shop below the gym. Good times.
The big 27...ahh to be that young again.

This is soooo belated, but happy birthday! For some reason your blog doesn't pop up in my reader. :o(
I had a hard time turning 30 too. I feel losses take their toll on people and I know I feel older and look older. It is the worst. I hope you had a good celebration!
Thanks Rose! Yeah...loss does take it's toll in so many ways. I did have a good celebration though...had few friends over-it was intimate and nice. I always feel refreshed with good company and good conversation :)
