The Big 3-0 Birthday

Well, yesterday I hit the big 3-0!! Yep....I was pretty worried that I would be depressed being 30 now but I actually feel pretty good about it and happy. I actually 'feel' my age and by saying that I mean I have always felt like I was older than my actual age and now I actually feel the right age. haha If that makes any sense?!

Anyway, I feel really good and looking back over the last 10 years it has felt like my 20's lasted forever!! But I am grateful for the life that I have lived so far. When I really stop and look at it....I have done a lot!! Just some things I've thought of off the top of my head......
*Married to an awesome husband and father
*4 kids (& done!)
*3 military moves from the Gulf Coast, to the East Coast, to the West Coast and back to the Gulf Coast again
*5 (scary) deployments
*Have been on two week long cruises to some cool places & also got to scuba dive for the first time on our last cruise
*Ran a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon in Seattle (13.1 mi), trained and ran my 1st Marathon in Nashville (26.2 mi)
*Have served diligently in the Church and been Primary President & now Relief Society President
*Have a TON of AWESOME friends all over the country and world thanks to the military!

So anybody that says 30 is Over-the-Hill....well they just need to look at it a little differently cuz I say its NOT! =o) I feel like I might have a harder time when I turn 40 in ten years though........only because I realized how old my kids will be then......Devyn will be 20, Tay & Jay almost 15 and this little man will be almost 10. Yikes!! I think I will for sure feel OLD then!!! So for now....I'll just enjoy my next 10 years while my kids are the ages they are......cuz it seems to me looking ahead right now....that it is not gonna last long and the time is going to just fly by!
