The 20's Were Good...

But when I heard those sweet little girls say "Happy Birthday!" this morning, I knew the 30's are going to be even better :).

The past 10 years have given me so much...

a wonderful, hard working husband...

these sweet, amazing little characters...

 a shape that only God can give...with a little boy tucked inside this time around...whom I think we have a name for...that hopefully Eric will want to share soon :)...

 

an evening out last night with a small group of ladies that truly bless my life in more ways than I can count...

who already love this new little guy...

 

 who also love rubbing things in...ahem :)...

and so, so much more.

I am truly humbled by the grace that God has shown me this past decade. 

(especially through those years in my early 20's when I made some really interesting choices...because I knew everything...am I the only one who knew it all at age 20??)

I haven't even been 30 for 24 hours and it already feels good. There is some kind of freedom in turning 30, am I right? I feel like I'm all the sudden capable of making important decisions, telling people what I think, and standing up for what I believe in...

I feel like I can conquer the world.

(not really, but I've always wanted to say that.)

(and since I'm 30 now I can say anything.)

(well, not really, but anyway...)

I can't wait to see what God has planned for the next 10 years, starting with our little man that is coming soon!

Here's to 30!
