Welcome to the beginning!

My very first "blog". It is amazing how the world is changing. If you had asked me last year what a blog was I would have had no idea at all. 10 years ago I probably wouldn't have known what Email was either! My Internet is one of my life lines. I have made so many friends and discovered so many things via this computer. I think parenting has been what really made me get in to computers. It is so wonderful to be able to "talk" to people who know what you are going through. Some of my Internet friends have been in my life now for over 5 years and I really treasure those friendships. Some I have met, some I have spoken to on the phone and others I hope to one day meet in the future. Sadly some have vanished off the face of the earth but I guess that happens in real life too (I only have one friend from my school days that I keep in touch with). But life moves on and you make new friends even though the old ones are often still in your thoughts.

On Tuesday I turned 38. How can I possibly be 38???!!! I still feel like I am in my 20s. I used to think 40 was old but now I think life just gets better and better as you age and 40 is not so old after all. Heck - I remember when I thought 25 was old lol! All the best things in my life have happened in my 30s and that is mainly marrying my wonderful husband and giving birth to my beautiful daughters. Now I have been married for 6 years and have a 5 year old and a 2 year old - I am finally grown up!

Blowing out those candles (we didn't have 38 - lol!):

What a sweet blog Christine! :) I too am very sorry I missed your birthday! Happy Belated Birthday! :) You know, the stuff you said about friendships are sooo true. Isn't it funny how people can come together? You have inspired me in many ways Christine and I admire you for that....can you tell I am in a weepy mood? LOL! Anyway, the one thing you told me that has stuck with me for a long time (the whole 2 years we've been online friends) is that your 30's have been your BEST years and because of you, I am looking forward to my 30's and not dreading them at all! :) Thanks Christine, for your friendship! :)
