29

Yeah so I turned 29 today and I can't help bu tthink about how it is only 1 year away from 30. I sincerely hoped to have accomplished something at this point, but in alot of ways I feel like I am still just getting started. I remember looking at people I looked up to when I was in my late teens and seeing them be alot more "along the way" then I feel. I keep hearing that everyone feels this way though. I mean I am completely grateful for the life that I am finding myself in and I know that I am way more blessed then I deserve (ie. Erica and Kayla) it is just as I get older, it would be nice to think that I am moving toward something and not just taking each day as they come.

I had this thought on my way to work yesterday and I am interested to see if there is any merit to it. It is no secret that in my teen years I spent most of that time "sowing my wild oats", and thoughout my twenties I have spent that time weeding out the garden of my life from all of those seeds I throw out in my teens. I hope that as I approach my thirties that this will be the time that I am able to "reap the harvest" and be able to really provide for those I love so much. Maybe it is a guy thing, but I have always wanted to be "successful" not so much for material gain but to provide oppurtunities for my family that were given to me by gracious people outside of my family.

Well it is time to go watch "The Godfather" (my favorite family movie). To all that read this - May my Father smile on you with as much joy as He has me!
