35 Years Later ...

As a child it seemed as if time was going by so slowly.  I couldn't wait to be an adult and I dreamed of the years when I would be old enough to be on my own, as a wife and mother.  Now I am at that point in my life and time just won't slow down.  The years are passing by too quickly.  I need a moment to stop and take it all in.  It seems as if I just turned 19 and was a college student.  It's hard for me to accept the truth.

The truth is ... I'm 35.  35!  I don't consider that to be old but ... 35?  How did I become a 35 year old already?  I can't fathom it.  What happened to my twenties?  Seriously, looking back to that decade seems to be a blur.  Turning 30 still didn't sink in, but now I'm 35!  Halfway through my thirties.  Really?

So, it was a great birthday, nonetheless.  My husband took the day off from work and we spent it together (it's our tradition).  He cooked for me, rubbed my feet, allowed me to relax, gave me gifts and just ... SPOILED me rotten!  I'm a lucky lady and I have the best hubby ever.  My son had to go to school but when he got home the celebration started.  Delicious dinner, yummy cupcakes and presents!  I didn't lift a finger all day and just enjoyed some relaxation.

Okay, back to reality today.  Laundry is in both the washer and dryer, dishes are done, kitchen is clean, floor is swept, carpet is vacuumed.  No rest for the weary today! 

Anyway, I have no complaints about turning 35.  I'm right where I want to be.  Great health, a nice house, a wonderful husband who is also my best friend and two amazing kids.  What more could I want?  Nothing!  I have it all.  I'm completely blessed ... and I have God to thank for everything!
