I really am 29!

I'm humbling myself to show you what I look like in the morning! I did put on a hat though! For that I must thank my Fabulous Sister-in-love, Jana! oh, & Josh too! Pat came home this morning with a blazing fire - a piece of German Chocolate Cake with 29 candles on it! I only had to open my mouth and let the morning breath wipe out the entire flame! When Pat regained consciousness, we slept in a bit! I had met him at work for "lunch" last night at midnight, so I was a little tired! Plus, it's my birthday, so I can sleep as long as I want to!!
I am so blessed! I'm thinking of all my blessings, and as this is not a novel, I won't bore you with details! I can't imagine what I would be like without Pat in my life! God has blessed our marriage more than we could have imagined. I can't think of a single day that I haven't been grateful for our lives together. Pat is the perfect man for me, and we will continue to "sharpen" each other! My family is amazing! I have pictures that my nieces and nephews drew for me in the pictures! I put them up on the 'fridge, but I'm thinking of using them for a mural on a kitchen wall, so keep them coming!! People will think we have kids! I do! I pray for them often and miss them more than I can put into words. I can't wait to meet my new niece Mia! What a joy to miss them! I feel so blessed to have a sister that I miss so terribly. I'll cry if I say more!! I am so grateful to have the support and prayers of all our family!
We have also been blessed with material things. God knows our needs and gives beyond our expectations! We are truly nothing without HIM! He has given us a home, jobs, a car, and much more little stuff! Everyday I see His gifts to us.
I often use my birthday to evaluate my life and to give myself goals. I don't often share those as that leads to accountability! This year I need to push myself. I want to truly live my faith out. I want to be bold. I want to be positive. I want to be encouraging. I want to be adventurous! I want to be serious about cultivating discipline in my life!! YUCK! I didn't want to write that last one. Anyway...!
This will be a good year. I thank you all for being such a positive influence in my life. I'm excited to see what the Lord has for me for year 29! It is His.
