My Birthday

Tomorrow I turn 29...I can't believe it. As I look back at my 29 years of life, I think of all of the things I am thankful for and blessed to have. To start I have two wonderful, beautiful daughters who are the love of my life. I have a great husband who loves me even though I may have many shortcomings. I have a wonderful mom, who is my rock....the one that I look up to and strive to be like. She is one of my best friends. I have a Grandma who I am lucky to still have around me. I have some wonderful in-laws who love my family with all of their heart. While I don't have a lot of friends, the ones that I do have are near and dear to me and I know will be there for me should I need it. I have also had the same best friend since I was 12 and even though we may be far apart right now, we love each other the same as we always have.

Sometimes I worry because my house is a disaster zone, and maybe I am not the most organized person in the world. I could stand to lose a few pounds, mellow out at times, and most of all just smell the roses and enjoy life like my children do. I think as adults we tend to forget what is really important. One day, my house will be clean again when all of the kids are at school and I will look around and realize how empty and quiet it is and wish that I had those days back that I may have had a messy house, but I also had two wonderful girls around to keep me company.....
