34

Well, it is the eve of my 35th birthday.

Tomorrow I sit between 30 and 40.

At year 35.

Wow. As I reflect back on the year, it went very fast, and yet it went very slow. I started my 34th year pregnant with Caroline, and celebrated Thanksgiving last year pregnant (and my family didn't know!) and went through many ups and downs throughout the year with my pregnancy with Caroline. May 2nd sweet little Caroline who rocked our world when she arrived! Cliff and I celebrated 8 years of marriage together on May 9th. And now we have 5 wonderful kids. 5 healthy and happy kids to be thankful for. So thankful for.

There must be more stuff that went on during the year, but surely my highlights were mentioned above! To me, nothing matters more than family and friends. And love in my family.

I am happy that I had such a memorable 34th year, and I look forward to my 35th year with anticipation. I am still younger than 2 of my cousins (and I remember ALWAYS wanting to catch up to them!!) and now, we await the birth of my sister April's baby. (Not tomorrow April!!! xo)

Tomorrow, I turn 35, my Dad turns 63 and my little sis Amy turns 32. I love that we can all share our birthdays together. I am happy that our birthday's fall on a Thanksgiving Long Weekend! That is always nice. I cherish the memories we will make this year! I wonder what I will be typing next year when I turn 36?! Only time will tell.

Blessings to you all.

Peace.
