(This picture is courtesy of Thing 1)I seriously can't believe I am 30. My birthday was in Mar and I can't believe I am 30. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think 30 is old; it just doesn't seem that long ago I was a freshman in college. I used to think I'd be done having kids and settled by now. However; life is still up in the air for Bri and me-where to live and things like that- and we're definitely not done having children. I'll take as many as I can have.
It is always interesting to me as I review my life and see how my priorities have changed as well. I used to think that I just wanted one girl and the rest boys, now I have Thing 2 in addition to Thing 1 and I would be happy with all girls if that is what I get. I used to want only a few children-like two but now I really would like quite a bit more. I hate to put a number on it because we aren't sure how many I can actually have, so we'll take them one at a time.
I'd rather live in a smaller home and drive a minivan if it meant being able to afford sending our children to college and having more of them around. Part of me still wants to have my children close together so Bri and I can enjoy our later years in life together. Part of me wants to have as many as possible so my home is never quiet again, but rather always has the little pitter patter of children's feet echoing through the home.
All in all it has been a good 30 years and I hope the next 30 years bring me just as much joy as these have.

All I can say is that I feel exactly the same way. I turn 30 next Sunday. I have suddenly gone a bit gray, too! It sure makes you think. I only have one baby and I sure would like more. I hope time doesn't go too fast. I love having him little, and we want more kids, too!
You are a gorgeous 30-year-old! I used to think I would be done with kids by 30 but we're not done either. I miss ya, chica. I did get your message on my phone a while ago. I will try and call you soon when life here slows down a little. Check out our blog and you'll know why. Love ya.
You mean we're not still freshman in college?!
