I am 40.
I am loved.
I have a beautiful home.
I am a mother.
I have ran a marathon.
I have done a half Ironman.
I have sang my guts out across the world.
I have an amazing job.
I have a helpful family.
I married the man of my dreams.
I have no reason to complain.
I made so many goals to accomplish by the time I am 40 and I nearly hit them all.
I didn't become a lawyer and I didn't sing on Broadway.
But that's OK because the life I have is the one I want.
My birthday was on a Monday this year. I woke up and took the boys to swim team and to Zoo camp. Then Stephen and I went on a beautiful mountain bike ride near Tijeras, NM. Stephen packed a picnic and we ate out in the freezing cold. Yeah, you read that right, it was cold. On June 28th!
We came back to the house and I took a nice bubble bath, then Stephen gave a massage. It was extremely relaxing. My parents came over and we ate cake and I opened my presents. Stephen got me a new phone, diamond earrings, a new jacket for my morning bike rides, and my favorite cake from Whole Foods.
We went to dinner at Los Poblanos farm and then came home and I fell fast asleep.
It feels great to be 40!
