I remember when I hit 20. And I loved my 20's.
The good.
The bad.
And everything in between.
Here are a few highlights from my 20's:
*Joined the Air Force at 21
*Met my husband
*Married my husband
*Went to Iraq
*Survived my tour in Iraq
*Got pregnant, but the baby passed away a few weeks later
*Moved to Turkey for 2 years
*Got pregnant with Isabella
*Left the Air Force at 27 to be a stay at home momma
*Moved to Mississippi
*Bought our first home
*Had my lovely daughter, Isabella
*Got pregnant with Madelyn

I'm not sure how my 30's will compete with all of that--but I do know that my 30's will be amazing. I've grown so much, learned so much and best of all?
I am a wife and a mother. Just saying those two things takes my breath away. I am incredibly lucky to have a great family.
So, good bye 20's....and hello 30's!

33 weeks and a day!
Notice the lack of wedding rings--the lovely swelling has officially begun!

Aw, Happy Birthday!! So far my 30's have been great and I'm over 4 years in. The 20's were good too but it just keeps gettin' better...

Hope you had a great birthday Chelle! Was good to talk with you a little bit and hear about everything and listen to Isabella jabbering in the background!
We are sure excited for little Madelyn to arrive too! Know she will be another adorable little girl like Bella.
