There is no way I'm the big 4-0 today....

40..... for years that seemed like such a big number, not so much anymore.  I don't think turning 40 bothers me as much as the thought, "this is not where I thought I would be at 40."  Not to say that where I am is not good.  I'm blessed with 2 beautiful children, I have a family that loves me, I have great friends, I have a great group at church, and I am blessed with a job when so many are without.

So here is to my 40s..... It will be a decade of firsts:  my first child will start high school, start driving,  and graduate; my second child will start elementary school; and I will graduate from college - since I'm on the 25 year plan.
