31

I am blessed with this beautiful family!

My birthday was yesterday. I had a fun weekend starting with breakfast and a pedicure with Jennifer. Saturday night dinner with Andy's family and then a date night with Andy yesterday. We enjoyed a nice dinner out. As crazy as it sounds I am starting to believe I am really going to love being 31. I can't tell you why, but for some reason it just feels like a great age. I hear that people love their 30's maybe I am ready to embrace my age. Who knows?? All I can say is I'm at a great place in my life. I have an amazing husband who loves and supports me each day. I have a beautiful little girl who's smile melts my heart and her spirit makes me want to celebrate all those little things in life.

It's strange how I look back at my life 10 years ago...I was 21 and in college. Those were great times, but seem like a lifetime ago and like it was a different person than who I am now. Morgan has come down with a cold tonight and she hasn't slept well. I have had to rock her back to sleep 3 times in the past 2 hours. I walked by the bathroom mirror, I am wearing a t-shirt that has dried snot on it from Morgan, my hair is in a messy ponytail, my makeup from the day is pretty much gone, and I have dark circles under my eyes. From my description you can imagine I am not looking my best. I can't help but smile in the mirror. I notice laugh lines. All I can think is there is no where else I would rather be than rocking my sweet baby to sleep and kissing my husband goodnight.

Life is good! Hello 31...what took you so long! :)
