30!!

This past weekend I turned the big 3-0! 30 sounds so old. I don't know what 30 is supposed to feel like, but I think it feels good. I'd rather say I'm 25, but then I think of how blessed I am and how great my life is, and how can I complain? 30's just a number. I have it good! In honor of my 30th, I came up with 30 things I'm thankful for.

1. My God who is faithful no matter what!
2. My wonderful, patient, loving husband
3. My beautiful children--who bring me such joy and make me laugh
4. My family--thank you for your love, humor, and example of faith
5. My great friends--you are my lifeline & source of fun & encouragement
6. My cozy house
7. a reliable car
8. my health
9. Mark's job (sure it brings long hours & frustration, but it provides the income we need)
10. church activities
11. sunshine
12. Christmas gift cards and birthday $ for shopping trips :)
13. date nights & excuses to dress up ( they don't happen often, but they're fun when they do)
14. changing seasons
15. music & family dance parties
16. weekends with no call
17. a big backyard
18. cell phones
19. naptime=mommy time
20. flavored coffee
21. nursery volunteers who allow me some "me" time at Coffee Break and MOPS
22. hot showers
23. disposable diapers
24. good food & new recipes
25. baseball caps on bad hair days
