Wedding Plans: Day 70

As I sit here on this evening, I am tired from work, but also feeling a little reflective. In the following two months, I will experience some milestones in my life. Next month I will turn forty (I like spelling out the word, the numerals seem so harsh.) It just amazes me how the older I get, the less old, my age sounds. I remember thinking thirty was old when I was twenty-eight.lol Now as I embark on a new decade, I am ready to embrace it.

In May, my oldest son will marry a lovely young lady named Katie. I am so happy for both of them, and love gaining a new family member. Just as I'm sure her parents feel, I can hardly believe that my first born child is grown. It really wasn't that long ago that I was standing on the front porch hollering for Adam to come in for the night, because he would have lived outside if I let him. Or I believe it was just yesterday that I was yelling at him to "turn the music down!" (Wait a minute....maybe it was yesterday.) I am sure that only a few days ago I watched him walk across the stage for his high school graduation. Now he is out in the world making a life for himself, and I couldn't be a more proud mother.

I know this post is sentimental, and perhaps, a little cheesy, but it is what was on my mind tonight.

Have a great weekend,
~Julie~
