Being the Borquez's: A Few Thoughts on Turning 30.....

Well tomorrow is the BIG 3-0 for me. Even though last year a part of me thought I might panic I think its hilarious this year. That would have to be the high heel wearing glitzy side of me because the real me could care less. No actually I take that back. The real me is thrilled. I'm exactly where I want to be in life. I'm at such a happy, fulfilled, confident place. I truly think this best is yet to come. I've poured my two most positive attributes, my passion, and my constant quest for knowledge into my role as a mother. I think the benefit is more rewarding than any career job I could of even been successful with. I'm shaping human beings. Motherhood is my role for my 30's ...thru out life of course but this next decade is such a vital time in a childs upbringing. I've heard so many people quote the phrase motherhood isn't glamorous. Maybe not depending on your vantage point but its not a weak role. It takes strength and knowledge. Two words that far surpass any obnoxious "glam" title which quite frankly has really begun to bore the intellectual side of me at this point in life. We have no immediate plan for the birthday dinner. At least not right away. We are waiting to see how my sweet Nannie does over the next few days. In the mean time, since I've seen these type lists on several other blogs I thought I'd make one of my own. You may learn something new about yours truly! :0)
