It's here...

I'm officially 30 and a day old....why is this "day" getting to me all of a sudden? It didn't really hit me until we were at the beach last week. I don't want to be 20 again. I don't even want to be 25 again. I like who I am right now so much better....so why is this bothering me? I suppose so many wonderful things happened to me in my 20's. Hmmmm....I met Mark. I got my pilot's license. I graduated from Auburn. I was a flight attendant for Delta. I lived in New York City. I went to Istanbul, Athens, London, Paris, Zurich, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Bogota, Lima, Tokyo, Hawaii, (just to name some of my favorites) and pretty much all the places in the US that Delta flies. I got married to a wonderful man - a man that knows how to bake! I lived in Texas (not something I wish to do again). I flew to Brazil twice with Mark to take delivery of a brand new airplane and fly it back to the US (stopping in St. Maarten and Aruba). I moved to Newnan, where I grew up (and wish I still lived there). I had a baby boy. I became a stay at home mom. I moved to Memphis (yes, I was still in my 20's when I moved...). I had a baby girl. I have formed relationships in my 20's (started earlier than that though) that I will have the rest of my life and I am so thankful for that. See, the 20's were great! I guess that's why I'm kind of sad to leave that decade - so many wonderful things happened during those 10 years. Ok, I guess I'm over it now - look out 30's - I've got a lot to do to top everything that happened in my 20's!! Goodbye to some of the best years of my life...hello to even better ones!!!

On my birthday today, I am thinking how wonderful it would be to be 30!! I, of course, would not take anything for all the people who have become part of my live since I was 30; I would just like the energy of 30.
Enjoyed seeing your precious children. Love, Mrs. Sandra

Hey! I am going on 32 and I can say it just keeps getting better. I felt like 30 was a big birthday too, so I know where you are coming from. Your babies are soo cute and I like looking at your pictures. I know it is hard to move and set new roots, it has been challenging for me. I think it just takes time. Have a great weekend, AShley
