30 Things About Me Being 30

1. I am not in my "twenties" anymore.
   
2. After I eat just one piece of birthday cake I really do gain a pound over night!
3. My young, 27 year old, hubby gets to say his wife is in her thirties!
4. Even though my skin is a little looser, not quite as soft as it use to be, and has a few more lines in it, the skin I am in is feeling more and more comfortable.
5. I have started evaluating how old I will be when the kids are out of the house and counting down the years. (Is it too early for that?)
6. Sometimes friendships feel more like someone you can ask a favor from instead of someone you can just hang out and giggle with. Sometimes that seems sad but sometimes that seems so cozy and beautiful.
7. Choosing your battles seems to be a way of life.
8. At 30 the world seems so scary. Every day I think more and more about hiding. Some days I think I am hiding and don't realize it.
9. I feel closer and closer to scriptures like Job 12:12, Ps 92:14, Ps 148:12, Prov 16:31.
10. I really do keep loving gray hair more and more.
11. "Super Stars" are not super.
12. Looking back on 30 years of life is hilarious! WOW, it is unbelievable what I thought was important and now what really is important. (I think I may say this one again in a few years about how I feel now - he he!)
13. Age is much more a number than anything else. I feel the same as I did when I graduated college.
14. I have been able to see true love grow and recognize it for the beautiful thing that it is.
15. Books are fun - MAN, I am old.
16. I have realized I am a real nerd.
17. I have found that at any age I can have true friends that are any age.
18. I pray more, now than ever, for the Lord to go on and come!
19. At 30, my mom is the best girl friend I could ever have.
20. I have found that you can not "really" live on love here in this world but you can have so much love in your heart for that one special man that it feels like you could live on love! And that feeling is wonderful!
    
21. The Lord is really and truly - seriously - honestly - completely - Really - ALL you need.
22. I have realized Dirt Really Don't Hurt.
    
23. Rollercoasters really are dangerous.
24. Bugs really are gross and icky (you got that right - I have just now learned this).
25. Have I always been this cold all the time?
26. Have I always had this little blatter control?
27. Being able to be Hannah and Justus' mom at age 30 is a great birthday present.
28. I want and will allow my love of people (God's creation) to bubble up in me, no matter how it looks or how awkward someone thinks it is or what people think. Love for others (all others) is wonderful.
29. I am done with junk - I want simplicity worse than I may have ever wanted anything before. And for some reason can not achieve it.
30. It is weird to say I am 30 years old so I would appreciate it if no one ask me how old I am ever again. Thank You.
    

Happy Happy Birthday to ME!!
