Oh - the Big 4-0! YIKES

so today is the day, today I can no longer say Thirty, I have to say Forty - Yikes! It really isn't so bad - yet. Driving in this morning, I reflected on my life, as sometimes I do. I thought how my 20's was nothing but partying, going to school and working, little faith, no really big huge worries, my thirties I was getting settled into a career, trying to figure out motherhood, still stressing about looks and not comfortable with myself, made mistakes as we all have, dealing with dad's sickness and death, refinding my faith again and just thirties, just seemed a crazy time in life. I can honestly say I am looking forward to my 40's.

I am settled once again into a new career, although there are days that I HATE my job, this is where God has me now, so I am happy. I have a home, food, clothing, a wonderful husband who loves me, still not sure why :), two beautiful boys that keeps my life full of laughter and mishaps, a stronger faith, a wonderful family, both immediate, and extended, wonderful friends - I am happy with who I am and how far I have come since my 20's. It was a bumpy road, but if it were smooth we wouldn't learn anything and by far, we wouldn't appreciate what we really have.

I am blessed - very blessed. I embrace my 40's - I am happy on my 1st day of "gulp" 40 :)

Now, if I can just convince my sisters to go sky diving with me LOL

I hope everyone has a great day and is enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather!!! Thank you dad for that gift LOL

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
