It's My Birthday. I'm Thirty-One-Derful

Today is November 18th. It's a special day for me.

It's my birthday.

Today I turn 31. 

When I was little, and my grandma was turning 51, 

she told me she was turning fifty-one-derful.  

So this morning I told my boys I am turning thirty-one-derful.

I kind of still can't believe I'm in my thirties, let alone that I'm 31 today.  

This has me wondering, "What do I want before I turn 32?"

Mostly I am hopeful that 31 will be amazing. 

The last few months of 30 have been challenging.

For 31 I hope for more growth, more writing, and continued loving parenting.  

I hope for closeness for Josh and I, fearlessness & a lack of anxiety for myself, and a general letting go.

I also want to keep blogging consistently.  

I love it oh so much. 

I get so inspired when I write my heart to you guys.

{fingers crossed} 

It's going to be a great year!
