It is official, as of yesterday I, Kara, turned 29 years old. I only feel old when my 15 year old( youngest) sister makes a point to point it out, but then I just turn around and ask my parents how it feels to have a 29 year old daughter. A good way to even it out I think:)
I have been thinking a lot about turning 29, maybe because it is the last year in my 20's... with plusses and negatives:) A while ago, I fell into the trap of comparison ( you know what had I really done in my 29 years etc.), and then I woke up and I finally realized that my life is very blessed. I am grateful for a loving God who guided my life and has blessed me with more than I could have ever dreamed of in the past 29 years. There are things I used to think I needed, wanted, wanted to do or have done by a certain time (my timeline of course.) And not only did a kind and loving, all-knowing Heavenly Father change some of that, but He blessed me with dreams fulfilled that I never thought to dream of. I look forward to another 29 years ( at least) of not being in charge:) I do however hope that this coming 29 years will be a little bit wiser and not half as awkward as the first 29. ( Sorry, but middle school and high school, do not contain a lot of good memories for me.)
Yesterday was a treat: In the morning, I went over to my mom's and hung out with 2 of my amazing sisters. Bryan took off early from work and surprised me with a decorated kitchen, tulips and lilies (favorite flowers) that he put together while I was having lunch with my mom. ( another special treat) He then took care of our little dude for his nap. Then my mom came over and took care of our little dude ( while he napped and woke up) while we got to go to the movies! ( I can't even remember when the last time we went to the movie theatre was ( lets just say the little dude is not a fan.)We then came home, opened presents, had dinner and cake. My good friend Autumn also stopped by with a cupcake in a jar (cutest ever). We ended the evening relaxing in front of the TV ( Yes, Bryan didn't have to study!!!) and enjoying a night of peaceful sleep as the little dude slept exceptionally well. I call that an AMAZING 29th Birthday!
