Today

Today I turn 27.

I've been thinking about it and I think 27 is just about the perfect age.

I'm young enough that I am still not quite sure what life has in store for me. And that's pretty exciting.

But I think I'm old enough and little more experienced that people are starting to take me a bit more seriously. (You know that eye roll you used to get when you were first out of college and you'd try to stick in your two cents?)

I'm still young enough that I can go out and get crazy and wild and have a good time without thinking, "Am I too old for this?"

But I'm old enough that I don't get too much static if I decide to stay home for entire weekend and spend time with my family.

I'm young enough to not know that exact number of children I want to have.

But I'm old enough (and blessed enough) to have one beautiful shining son!

I'm young enough to still have the lingering effects of a newlywed.

But I'm old enough to have great conversation with my husband and know this is the man I will be with forever.

In 27 years, God has blessed me. There isn't any where or any age I'd rather be right now. And I can't wait to see what's in store for the next year.
