I'm not sure why, but I'm feeling old lately. I don't know if it's the wrinkles that I am finding on my face and hands. It might be the tons of grey in my hair that I have to color now. It's not just a treat anymore. It's a necessity. Maybe it's Travis' 32nd birthday coming up which means my 32nd birthday is coming in a couple of months. Everyone always dreads the 30th birthday but I didn't have a problem with that one. Or my 31st for that matter. But #32 is getting to me. Maybe it's because that means I'm getting into my 30's, not just the end of my 20's. Or maybe it was me overhearing some girls at church talking about having their 4th and last babies by the time they were 27 because they didn't want to be too old!! And I just barely had my 2nd. But even though I'm older than most moms at church and I don't like the lovely signs of aging, I wouldn't change when I had my babies one bit. I love that I had time with my husband before we had kids. They will just have to deal with a mommy with wrinkles and grey hair. Oh wait. Nope, just wrinkles because there will always be hair dye!!

Oh Please! You are still a baby! You don't know what old is! You are just tired!
I think the way your life turned out is so perfect. You are more mature and capable with your children....not old! You still have a very young heart, too! I think when you rush into marriage, then have kids the second your married, you miss out on SO MUCH with your spouse! This is your eternal mate and you can't even get to know him w/o a crying child in the background??? Yeah...don't feel old! Feel smart!! Plus, if you hadn't of gotten married when you did, I would not have met you!!! LOVE YA!
Yeah, I'm very tired but very happy. I wouldn't change anything. I love that I had time with my husband and that we got married when we did;)I just don't like the lovely wrinkles that come with it.:) I think I'm just paying for laying out in the sun with baby oil before everyone got smart about sunblock. I wish they would have made as big of a deal about it20 years ago.
I am right there with you Krista. That's weird to hear people saying they want to be done by 27 when that was when I was pregnant with my first. Like you said, I wouldn't change anything either. I just wish I had a little more energy and less wrinkles too. You always look great!
