I woke up this morning to face the last day of my 20s. Very strange. Where has the time gone? Although part of me still feels like I should be teenager I do realize how much my life has changed in the past ten years.
Ten years ago today, I was celebrating the last day of my teens. I was in the Lake District in England. I was in college and had just started dating Bryon who, at 24, was very excited that his girlfriend was no longer a teenager!
In the past ten years, I have married, graduated from college, graduated from a masters program, watched my sister and brother graduate from high school and college, held a job, moved 4 times, had three children, supported Bryon starting his own law practice, travelled quite a bit, seen many changes in our world including a war, made friends, said good bye to friends, watched my sister get married, watched my Dad get gray hair, celebrate a new millenium, and now say goodbye to my years with only preschoolers.
What will I be doing ten years from now as I celebrate my last day in my 30s? Matthew will be a sophomore in high school taking drivers ed. I will have two junior high kids. Bryon and I will be taking about what we should do on our 20 year anniversary the following summer.
It all goes so fast. I want to drink in every day.
Thank you God for all of the blessings you have bestowed on me these past 30 years. I have been blessed beyond all comprehension. Please continue to bless my life, my marriage, and my children's lives. I love you, Father.

Happy Birthday! Next year I will be writing about this at the same time. Here's to both of us having good birthday weekend.
Yes, I will be thinking about you on Saturday! I am looking forward to the weekend!
I am ready for your birthday to get here tomorrow more than I ever have before! I'm ready for everything we've been planning to happen!!
I'm with Terri on the early 30's. Best years of your life!
Happy Birthday, who needs to be 20 something anyway????
My mother says her 30s were so much better than her 20s, so I am very excited!!
I turned 30 in November and I'm loving it! I feel more "credible" if that makes any sense. I hope you have a nice day with lots of surprises, it sounds like.
Happy Birthday tomorrow!! I will turn 30 in March and it is strange to think about being in that decade!
You have packed a lot into your twenties!!! I pray that God will allow you to enjoy all your many blessings in your 30's! I am so glad that you are excited about entering your next decade! I think you will love being 30!!!
