I’m 36 Years Old!

I haven't written a blog in a long while. So here it goes.

I'm glad to be my age. I'm 36 years old with a different mind set than when I was 20 years old. I've had a lot of time to educate myself, explore, travel and just hang out and be me. I've had time to figure out life and then live it... still living life! I'm glad I waited to have kids until I was in my 30's!

There's a lot I'm thankful for... how about lucky! Most people won't say that. But I do feel lucky. I have made many mistakes but I've also made many good decisions. Everything has led me to where I am today. I've never had a career... or should I say, I was never able to achieve it (so far), but because of that, I had no worries of losing a job I cared about once I decided to become a mom. 

I have two kids now and I'm truly happy that I can be at home to raise them. That was always my goal/plan since I was in high school. I did not want family or strangers to raise my kids. It had to be me and my husband. So yes, definately lucky to be where I'm at. 

In truth, I never thought I would ever have kids because I really don't like kids. Haha. I tolerate kids but I absolute love my kids and they bring me joy every day since they've arrived. Not liking kids did help me to make sure I never had any when I was younger and unprepared.

The first babies I ever held were my own and it's still true to date. I even ran way from my own niece when she was a baby. My brother tried to have me carry her but I always refused. Funny how life is. 

I'm not even sure how to end this... so, I will say, new adventures are coming soon for my little family and I can't wait!!

P.S. We are all different people all through our lives and that's okay, that's good you've got to keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.
