The Big 3-0

Welp today I'm no longer a twenty something. Today I have entered middle aged. I was talking with my mom not too long ago and she asked me how I felt about turning 30. She told me that 30 was hard for her and she felt depressed for quite awhile about hitting that milestone. 
To be honest I hadnt given my upcoming birthday much thought. In fact forgetting it was as close as it actually was. When I sit back and think about how I feel about turning 30, I'm very content. These last few years have been some of the best I have had and if they are any indication on what to expect over the next decade I am pumped!
I think it all has to do with those sweet little kiddos of mine. 
They have completely changed me. 
They enable me to see the world from a whole new perspective.
I have been entrusted with the biggest job of all. I have been given the task of raising small babies into adults. 
What an awesome yet terrifying thought. 
I long to show these small babies of mine what a wonderful gift we have been given through the love and grace of our Savior Jesus Christ. 
I'm in awe of this life I have been given!
Somehow this turned into a parenting rant but what can I say......Im in deep. Its all I know right now. It takes up each waking hour I have it seems.
One day (sooner rather than later) those precious babies will have grown and left the house. Then it will be time to get a hobby.....or two. I cant wrap my mind around that time but I know it's coming. Until then I will love on them each chance I get and enjoy the small getaways.....speaking of......Joshs parents kept our kids for us last Sat night.
What a breath of fresh air. We spent the evening with a bunch of our closest friends and ate hot meals and had adult drinks. We slept in our own home with no kids in it!!! I cant even begin to tell you what one free night will do for my energy level. I picked the kids up Sunday morning refreshed and well rested. 
So in conclusion......bring it on 30's!! I cant wait to see what you have in store for me!!!
