31

31 years


(Nah, Natey isn't my clone or anything! Ha!)

Today is the first anniversary of my 30th birthday. That's right. I've decided I'll stay 30 and just celebrate that annually. My dad picked his 39th birthday to do that with. Me, I think 30 is a fine number to stick with. I may change my mind. I've been known to do that from time to time.

All I know is 31 is not a bad age to be.
I can honestly say that I am the happiest I've ever been.
I'm not saying that things are the easiest they've ever been,
but somehow the small stuff doesn't hold as much weight anymore.

I have my family that is about to be a party of 4 in 3 short weeks.
Unless she chooses to come sooner and I am soooo ok with that by the way.

I have genuine friends that take care of my heart.
I hope I do the same for them.

I may whine or complain at times, but deep down I know that I'm a pretty lucky girl.
Here's to the 31 years I've been in existence.

Thanks for coming along for the ride!

Happiest Birthday!

What a whirlwind the past couple of years have been for you... so glad to know this is the happiest you've been. I think us girls definitely grow wiser (maybe a bit quicker than the boys) over the years... especially when we're MOMMIES to little boys! ;)

Hope your celebration was wonderful!

Happy birthday! I turned 31 in August, and it's finally growing on me. I'm also not a big fan of the last month or so of pregnancy. My second was born at 38 weeks, and the L&D was about a trillion times easier. The following sleeplessness still sucks bigtime, though, so be careful what you wish for!
