30 Years Ago Today...

Thirty years ago my parents were reveling in their last few hours of pre-Sarah life.

I would come to be on April 25, 1979 - and their lives would never be the same.

I don't say that to dramatize or glorify my existence - it's just, as an expectant mother, I can only imagine what those final hours, just before the baby makes her desecent, are like. (Mind you, I was 9lbs 15oz at birth so I am sure my Mom was just dying to get the ginormo watermelon out of her belly... or not!)

Its hard to believe I will enter my thirties in less than 4 hours. I am totally comfortable with leaving my twenties behind, its just, for the most part, I really don't feel a day over 18. OBVIOUSLY, I usually am more mature than a teenager but I feel so young at heart... and I hope that never goes away.

And really, how could I be upset? Look at my life. I have an amazing man as my husband and best friend. I have the most supportive and loving family. I have some seriously sincere and beautiful friends. I have an incredibly loveable, kissable, snuggable pooch. I have a great job and a nice roof over my head. And, I have my health, strength, and intelligence. Could life get much sweeter?

How can I make it better in my next 30 years? I may not know the answer to that question but I am certainly determined to try... I've got this little baby girl in my belly depending on me to do so. And that is the most wonderful birthday present I could ever have dreamed of.

But, if you're wondering what I'd ask for if I didn't have the baby thing going on, I'd love some makeup from Origins, a new black bag, and new sunglasses... please!
