Life is good.

I was speaking with someone today, and we were talking about birthdays. He asked how old I was going to be this year and I said 27. We were joking about our 21st birthdays, and how we drank and partied and had a general all around kick butt time. I said I wouldn’t mind being 21 again. He said something that really made me think.

He said that 25 to 30 were his best years. He got married, had a baby, bought a house and “started his life”. The more I think about it, I feel the same. I got married when I was 23, but the first year was hard. Not hard as in I didn’t like being married, I loved it, but hard because we were living together finally and my life was rapidly changing. It was difficult to adjust to.
Pete and I have never gotten along better than we do right now. My marriage is beyond solid and I am smiles all the time with him. So, for this birthday, I am not going to be sad that I am getting closer to 30, I am going to embrace the fact that these have been some of the best years of my life. I have a ton to be thankful for, and if I had not been so lucky and blessed, maybe I wouldn’t even be here. I am truly the luckiest person in the world right now.
