Happy Birthday To Me!

Today I turn 30. The big three zero. I thought I wouldn't like it much, turning thirty. But I actually like being older. I like how my life has progressed and I am happy with all the years that I now have 'under my belt.' I certainly don't like how close I am to 40, but 30 is not bad at all. Of course life hasn't been easy by any means, but having the Lord to rely on during the hard times has made things much easier. I am so grateful for all of my blessings. I have a wonderful and loving husband. I have seven awesome children that are very patient with me. They bring me such sorrow and such joy. I have two sets of wonderful and understanding parents that always give the best advice when I need it. And I have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life to help and guide me through my ups and downs. Now all I need is a good night's sleep.
