Going on 30

Tomorrow I will be 30 years old.

I always thought turning 30 would be one of those things to dread; one of those ages that nobody wants to be because it means saying goodbye to the 20's.

But I have to say that I am surprisingly, absolutely content with 30...even looking forward to it.

I am blessed beyond measure. I am indescribably happy and as I move over to a new decade, there is nothing in this world I could possibly ask for to make it better. God has given me a beautiful family. I am married to the most perfect man.

I get to spend my days with a handsome, smart, funny little boy who loves me.

I am going to have a sweet little girl in my arms in just 9 weeks! I get to live in a nice house (complete with a pink nursery!) very near to my mom and dad (yes, that is a very good thing!). Everyday I thank God for His unfailing love. He forgives me when I mess up and teaches me how to be better.

And so yes, tomorrow I will be 30 and it will be ok. It will be better than ok because each day I am given is another blessing to be treasured. So far it seems that each year has been even better than the one before it. I think my 30's will be pretty great. It is especially wonderful to know that God will be with me no matter what each day brings. And that promise in itself makes everyday something to look forward to.
