Turning 33 {I'm Thankful For}

I remember when I was young, people would say "Enjoy being young..it is all downhill after 18 (or 21 or 30)". I remember thinking it was pretty negative way to be, and I was determined not to have that same outlook on life.

I can honestly say that with every year that has passed, my life gets better. I didn't really enjoy high school all that much so while my younger years were good, growing older (and wiser) has been fantastic.

With age, I have become more confident in my own skin. I know the things I am good at and I know my weaknesses. I don't fear the judgement of others as much and I trust my own ability to make decisions for myself and my family. 

Happy 7 years ago

Last Saturday I turned 33 and I love it. Sure, sometimes I do wish I was 20 again and had the freedom to go out late at night, travel the world or sleep in for as long as I like. However, I love that I can snuggle on the couch with my hubby watching a DVD, knowing the smiling faces of our kids will greet us in the morning. I wouldn't change that.

33 and even happier!

The first 33 years of my life have shown me that life can and does get better with each year that passes. I hope and pray that I feel the same way as I watch the decades pass.
