I'm 35! Wow, how life can change in 5 years. I remember my 30th. I was solidly single (not my choice) living in my Dad's basement, taking care of him and his house, working full time and doing post grad work. All of my friends were married, many with kids and I so prayed it would happen to me.
Now here I am with a WONDERFUL DH (married July 4th) and IL's. We just sold our house and will close soon on our dream home and under go about 4 months of total renovations.
I am so blessed. I can't help but feel melancholy though. My mom passed away shortly after her 38th birthday. As I approach the age that she passed I can't help but think how little time she had which makes me so thankful for every day I get.
