my next 30 years

My workouts have been great! Started out strong, then bam, I have bursitis! CRAP! I can barley walk, run, etc. So I have taken the last week off and it seems to be getting a little better. The bad thing is that I think I am overcompensating with my other leg and now feel it in that knee. I have been living on Ibuprofen, and icing it. Not much else I can do but rest to get it better. I have been watching what i eat and counting calories except for Saturday and Sunday. It was my 30th birthday! My cute husband planned a big party. We have a really good friend that is the king of smoking, smoking meat that is. We had brisket, dutch oven potatoes, salad, yummy baked beans and killer cornbread. Yup, not healthy but soooooooooooooo yummy. Oh wait to for get to add the princess cake! Then on Sunday, Zac's dad was passing through town heading back home from Washington and so we went to dinner with him at Hoppers. If you haven't been there go, it is awesome!  I had calamari, so not on the diet but I love it! 

      My biggest reason for writing this post is to write down my thoughts about turning 30. It really made me reflect on my life, and where I am at, and where I thought I would be at this age 10 years ago. When I was 20 I thought about were I wanted to be in 10 years. I wanted to have this huge house, lots of money, an expensive car,and of course I wanted kids too. Well needless to say, I am not rich, I don't have a huge house, but I love my house. I don't have a really expensive car, but guess what, I do have a pretty bad A truck! ;) I look back at my young, nieve self and think how superficial I was. The last 10 years has been a roller coaster of ups and downs and sides to sides. Life has through me some mean curve balls, but, I have learned so much about myself, who I am, and who I want to become. I have become less materialistic and I have to say I LOVE where I am at age 30. I wouldn't change it for the world.  I Am grateful for the hard times in life, and let me tell you I feel like I have hit rock bottom.  Do you know what rock bottom makes you do... it makes you look up. It makes you realize what you have, what's really important, and puts life into perspective. I feel like my life is so full, I have 3 wonderful little boys who mean the world to me. I have an amazing husband, who is my best friend, and I have a dog who has been a great companion. What I have come to realize is that, what means the most to me is what is inside the walls of my home, my family. I could live in a shack if I had to, just as long as I had them. 

      To my next 30 years...wow I will be 60, lets just go with 10 years. I hope you are full of fun camping trips with my boys. I hope we can add another child to the mix. I would love to become a nurse,  but most of all I just hope for a close family bond and relationship. That is what matters most to me.
