THE BIG 3-0

Well, as many of you know I am no longer a twenty-something. I entered my thirties this morning at 2:47 am. Hard to believe that when I was a little girl I thought people in their thirties were OLD. And now here I am and I still feel very young- definitely not old. I definitely don't feel like I thought I would feel when I turned thirty. I used to think when I turned thirty I would be sad, but I am not sad to be 30. I actually feel very blessed to have the life I do and to have accomplished so many things in the last thirty years. My sister, Kelly, sent me a really sweet cookie bouquet today and on each cookie it said something different (Mom, Sister, Daughter, Granddaughter, Friend, and Happy 3-0 Lacey Girl). Getting the cookies reminded me that I have a lot to be thankful for. I am a Mom to three wonderful kids, a wife to an incredible husband, a sister to three great siblings, a daughter to awesome parents, a granddaughter to an amazing Grandma, and I have been blessed with a circle of fabulous friends!! I am so lucky and blessed...my first thirty years have been awesome and from what I hear I have a lot to look forward to. My Dad told me awhile back that his thirties were his best years. I can't imagine the next ten years being any better than what I have already experienced- but I'll take them!
