And now I am 38.
HH asked me that morning if I felt old.
He always does because I am officially older than him now.
I really didn't.
What I did was remember where my family was when my mom turned 38.
How, at the time, she had 4 girls ranging from 15 to 6.
How she and my dad packed us up and moved us to another state.
How I could not even fathom having a 15 year old right now.
Or just starting to have kids.
We talked about ideas I had of getting married at 22, kids at 24ish, and how the Lord in His wisdom did not stick to my plans at all.
I guess I left the conversation feeling like I couldn't imagine my life timeline any different. It is good the way it is.
Which is a good feeling to have on your birthday.

Happy Birthday sweet sister!!
love you
Aw, Happy Birthday, Rhonda! I hope it's filled with sweeet surprises. :)
In talking to my mom this summer we realized that when she was my age, I was going to college. Yep....that was weird because I can't imagine sending a kid off to college right now and also because I hate that I'm old enough that it would actually be possible for me to have a college student. Ugh.
