I am here. And its not THAT bad.
I am 30 years old.
I am really okay with it. I am where I want to be...hubby, kids, a passion, a purpose and hopes for great (not better..it cant get much better than this!) days to come :)
I have to say that my past year or so have been ones of enlightenment as I have learned alot about the me I really am (versus how I have always seen myself).
So, 30 things I have learned about me in 30 years:
- I want to be a positive person
- I want to be a good mom
- I want to be a selfless wife ..more about him than me
- I want to be a selfless sister, daughter and friend
- My mom deserves more credit that I have ever given her
- I am alot like my dad ..and I like that
- I want to empower people
- I love to write
- I love to speak
- I can be bossy sometimes
- There are specific situations that brings that out
- I get bossy with my mom and my sisters the most..cause I want to empower them, and I act like I know what they need :)
- I get bossy when I get passionate ..if I feel really strongly about something I think everyone should think that way or do it that way
- I love to share my passions ...via writing, speaking, etc.
- I desire less stress, less drama in my life
- I appreciate rest and quiet
- I think peace is the best prayer to pray for someone
- I need organization in my life
- I love being a boy mom
- I value integrity in others
- I want enough stuff to make my life easy, but not enough to stress me out
- Lots of stuff stresses me out
- I eat when I am stressed, or feel rebellious
- I stress too much over the scale..so I got rid of it
- I want to be healthy ...but not over concerned about numbers or sizes
- I have curves, and thats okay
- I want to be debt free for my entire life
- I have a passion for nursing
- I have a passion for families in crisis..especially when they are losing or have lost a loved one
- I am created in God's image, just the way He wants me to be.
Its been a great 30 years. I wonder what I will learn in the NEXT 30 years?
Happy "Labor" Day Mom! :)

Happy Birthday, Courtney!
I think I'm catching up to you... There's just not as much difference between our ages as there was when we were 16 and 11. : P
I think they're setting off fireworks in Russia right now... all for you!
Heh, happy birthday!

welcome to the club!!
Court! I meant to call but we have a TERRIBLE virus/bacteria at my school/house. Seriously, even the health dept. is in on it. Hope it was great...I'll be there in a few months myself. I honestly can't wait. I am tired of being in my 20s b/c people think I'm barely over 21!! :)
From someone who's been here awhile, and as I've mentioned earlier....Welcome! The 30's are awesome! (and very scriptual I might add...Jesus really got to work at 30...not that He wasn't working before, but you get what I mean.)
The 30's have brought me some of the greatest answered prayes of my entire life, as well as the good sense to see the tremendous blessings in that. God is just amazing, what else can you say?
I wish you the happiest 30th year possible with lots of what really matters, like your sweet Steedly boys, your family and friends who love you so much, peace....that I can truly say I appreciate now whereas I didn't understand it's huge importance before, and contentment by lack of stress. Know that you are very loved. Happy 30th!!!!
love, Brandi
tear..thanks Brandi :)
And everyone for your sweet birthday wishes! It was a great one!
