thoughts on thirty-one...

When I was 16 and dating the love-of-my-life, I dreamed of being zit-free by 21.

Well, I was wrong...

When I was 21 and marrying the love-of-my-life, I just knew I wouldn't still be having babies past 30.

Well, I was wrong...

When I was 26 and had my first baby, I visualized getting back to my more slender size and taking better care of myself.

Well, I was wrong...

{My birthday gift from my sweet mom....keeping me chubby...and happy!}

But, I was right about many things.

I have 2 adorable children (I always imagined having boys) that make me cute birthday gifts...

And, I still have the love-of-my-life who knows the way to my heart...
