Today is the last day of my being in my twenties.
Seems like only yesterday that I was 4 years old and being waited on hand and foot because I had cut off half my toe. Seems like only yesterday that I was 5 years old and going to kindergarten away from my mom for the first time. Those 3 days in kindergarten seemed to be the longest ever. Seems like only yesterday when I rode to school for my first day of first grade and cried the whole way, missing my mom. Seems like only yesterday when I was married several times on the playground in elementary school. Seems like only yesterday when I walked in those great Halloween parades in elementary school, minus my best friend because she was a Jehovah's Witness. Seems like only yesterday that I received my first ever C in 6th grade and being afraid to take that report card home to my mom. Seems like only yesterday that I got into huge trouble for a girl shooting my rubberband balloon at another one while waiting for the last bell to ring in 5th grade.
Seems only like yesterday that I started junior high and all my "friends" left me for new friends and I met a great girl, who to this day I still consider my best friend. Seems like only yesterday that I was a geeky girl who enjoyed going to youth group and church more than school. Seems like only yesterday that I met my first boyfriend and thought I was in love and that it would never end. Seems like only yesterday that I turned 16 and decided to wait to get my license cause I was scared. Seems like only yesterday that I was 18 and about to graduate from high school. Seems like only yesterday that I did graduate from high school.
And here I am today, the proud wife of my wonderful husband and mommy of two great boys. I couldn't imagine my life any differently than what it is right now. These past 29 years and 364 days have taught me a lot about life and about people and mostly about myself. There are days when I don't like me but they are what make me, me. They are what has shaped me and made me learn. I wouldn't change one day of those to anything different.
Thank you Mom and Dad for making me, me and giving me a great foundation to start from.

I hope your b-day was great!
Happy belated birthday! I think 30 is great... it only gets better with each year you add after that - I can attest to that! I feel more full of life that I ever have!
Here's to making many new wonderful memories with your family!!!
HEY!!! Happy belated birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd sing for you but I'm pretty sure that's not even a good idea over the internet. ;)
Seriously, 30 rocks. 30 is awesome. I can honestly say (4 years into it) that I MUCH prefer this decade than any other to date. Welcome to the cool club!
