The day I turned 30 - I was thrilled my (now ex) husband made it home (from a week long binge) to celebrate the joyous occasion.
31- I hooked back up with my old high school friend, Brenda (thank the Good Lord above). After 6 years I kicked the ex to the curb as the realization finally sunk in that I could not save him from his drug addiction. You can't save someone that doesn't want to quit.
32-Met DH
33-35 ~ Life was for once drama free and amazingly calm.. juuust right.
36 - Bought our home together.
37 - Got hitched.
38 - Tried but couldn't get pregnant.. Plan B (adoption) was set into motion and our home study to become foster to adopt parents begun. Through a series of events I reconnected with my father that I hadn't seen for 20+ years. It was beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time.
39 - Got certified with a local county and our 2 beautiful twins were placed with us. A roller coaster indeed but we wouldn't have it any other way.
This past decade was filled with big blessings, new beginnings, loads of laughter and love. I have no room to complain.. I honestly never knew how young 40 was until I was standing staring at it face to face.
Crow's feet and all..
Having met you, I can attest to your beauty.
ReplyDeleteHappy new decade, Melissa! May it be full of love.

ReplyDeleteI just turned 46 y/o and 40 is young! :-) I don't "feel" old except in my body which creaks more, etc.
ReplyDeleteMy thirties were filled with lots of changes (divorce, kids, changing careers, personal growth).
ReplyDeleteI am in my 40's and loving it!
Happy birthday!
