Today's Bliss: Best Birthday Ever

Tomorrow, I turn 30. It is difficult to believe, but I am handling it well. I've had a couple of family celebrations already and when I blew out the candles on my first cake, I realized that I had nothing to wish for, I had such wonderful people in my life and so many blessings that I truly could not think of anything I needed. Granted, when you have multiple cakes for the same birthday, life can't be too bad! I suppose I just looked back at my first 30 years and realized that they were great ones - so the next 60 years are bound to be even better!

The real reason that this is the best birthday ever, of course, is my sweet 7 week old baby. She is such a joyful part of my day to day life, showing me what love looks and feels like. From her snuggly naps in my arms to her alert eyes taking in new things around her, she is a wonderful part of our family!

Our family members and friends have helped make this new baby a spoiled and loved little girl. Thanks for welcoming Lily Grace into the world!

God has given me so many things and I am so young...there must be so much more waiting for me on the road of life! I cannot wait to discover what is ahead. But what is most important are the two people right beside me as I journey forth: Neal and Lily Grace. They are my bliss!

Bring it on 30 and and beyond!
