Yesterday I turned 28. This was not a huge birthday for me since I can already drink, smoke, gamble and rent a car. I mean what else is there to look forward to as far as birthday's go, right?! Well I was driving yesterday, thinking about turning 28, and would I feel any different from being 27? Considering the fact that I don't remember how old I am half the time, i did not think much would change. The thing I realized is that, I am still so young, but I have had a lifetime of happiness already. Not all people can say this, and I have experienced things that not all people get to experience. I AM A LUCKY GIRL!
1. I have had life FULL of love!
2. I have had 4 parents that love me, and would do anything for me. Some people don't even have one and I have 4! Actually I have Mike's parents now so that brings my parent grand total to 6!
3. I have been lucky enough to have grandparents in my life that I am close to and have influenced my life in such positive ways.
4. I have amazing step parents, and I know very few people that can say that.
5. I was lucky enough to know what it is like to meet somone and instantley fall in love with them. I can really say I know what love at first sight feels like. I know what true love is, and I have a husband who will do anything for me. He will never give up on me and he supports me!
6. I know how it feels to look down an aisle and be so excited to be looking at the person I would spend the rest of my life with, and create a family with.
7. I got to experience the excitment a woman gets from getting a positive pregnancy test twice, and the days of total confusion that follow that.
8. I had the joy of telling all of my parents that they were going to be grandparents twice.
9. The most undiscrible joy is being able to bring a life into the world with the person you love the most.
10. I have experienced the excitment of knowing that I was moments away from meeting my child, and being scared, nervous, and incrdible happy all at the same time. TWICE!
I have been fortunate enough to have so many incredible life experiences in my life, and in only 28 years. Sometimes I look at my little family and think, "how did I get so lucky?" God has given me so much to be thankful for! It is good to take a minute to think about all of the good things in your life, every once in a while. So, all of this to say, I think I do feel different.
