A big year of milestones!!

I keep forgetting to blog about this, I was going to do this last week but forgot. I have a little book where I keep all our families/friends birthdays and anniversaries. I usually try to be really good and even write down the year, because I really want to recognize those significant dates. I think anything from a baby being born to having birthdays and anniversaries every 5 years is hugely significant! This year happens to be a huge year with our family and some friends as far as reaching a milestone! To start off, I turn the big 3-0 this year, yes, hard to imagine and really not sure what I think of it, but I really am hopeful that the 30's is going to be the best years of my life as far as health, happiness and watching our kids grow up. I think of all the things I experienced in my 20's and there's probably very little I didn't experience or go through and looking ahead to the 30's, I think of what's to come: sending my kids to preschool/school, most likely going back to work when they get into school, maybe finishing school myself, celebrating 10 years of marriage and so much more, wow, lots of exciting stuff and hopefully very little difficult times to endure.
Also turning 30 will be my brother-in-law and many friends I know as well! I know many babies being born, a cousin turning 5, a few more turning 10, 15, 20, 35. My sister-in-law turning 25, another one that just turned 21. Both of my parents turning 50, Chad's parents celebrating 25 years, a grandparent turning 70, a great aunt and uncle turning 75 and 80. Another set of grandparents celebrating 50 years and a few of our friends celebrating 5 years of marriage! WOW!! Its going to be a busy and fun year!!
