Hi there! Happy Thursday to you! I can hardly believe that it is Thursday already. I apologize for disappearing yesterday. I didn’t get around to charging my camera and I didn’t really have much to talk about so I figured, I’d take the day off from blogging rather than just bore you with nothing to talk about. This week is really flying by! I can’t believe it’s already the end of the week. I’m very glad about that. I could use the weekend to relax and sleep in. I’ve been excessively tired lately and find it very difficult to get up in the morning. I guess it’s because it’s been relatively quiet in our house. I’m sure that will all change once the husband gets home upstairs tonight. He is gone during the week and his wife is quiet and respectful but once he gets home, that all changes! I’m praying for peace and quiet.
Anyway, last night for dinner, Mike and I decided to have chicken nuggets, some roasted veggies and french fries. I felt like a little kid!
My dinner plate
It was tasty! My stomach wasn’t feeling so hot which is why my plate looks rather empty. I was trying to be easy on it because I didn’t want to make it feel worse. I have found that I am alright on the plain Perdue chicken nuggets. If I try to have the whole grain ones, forget about it! It’s bad news. So I’m glad that I can at least tolerate the original ones. It makes for a quick and easy dinner especially when Mike is the one preparing it. 
I wanted to talk about me approaching the age of 29. My birthday is literally around the corner. It’s on the 25th and it’s very scary to me about turning 29. It will be the last year in my 20′s for one thing. I also remember having an entire plan of things that I wanted to accomplish for myself by the age of 30. Since I’m getting kind of close, I was hoping that I would have most of these things accomplished by 29. It’s not looking that way right now. It’s hard for me to accept that.
I am VERY thankful for the things and people in my life that I do have. Please don’t take me talking about this as that at all. I am very thankful and grateful for what I do have. I feel like I focus a lot on the things that I don’t have. I am trying extremely hard for those things that I don’t have to happen. I’m hoping that they will happen in my 29th year.
I have big plans for 29 and I hope, wish and pray that they come true. I know that age is only a number and I shouldn’t live my life by that but I think everyone has certain goals for themselves to reach by a certain age. I know that in my 29th year, I want to be happy and successful career wise and make enough money. I want to have all of my stomach issues resolved. I want to buy a house. I want to have a dog and most importantly, I want to start our family. That is hugely important to me. I’m hoping once everything else settles down, we can focus on starting a family. That is my number one thing. I want to experience being a mom. That is super important.
I also want my family to be happy and healthy. Health and happiness are the most important things that I wish for my family. I truly believe in my 29th year that this will come true. I think if you work hard enough towards your dreams and goals that they will come true. I am working very hard towards mine and I’m trying to keep a positive outlook on things when times get tough. I know that I am a very strong person. I have been through and continue to go through so much in my life that I don’t share on the blog here. I am very strong and I can usually take anything that is thrown my way. I know that I can accomplish all I set my mind out to do if I work hard enough.
Do you have goals that you want to accomplish for yourself by a certain age? What is a goal that you would like to accomplish?
Alright, well have a lovely Thursday today! I’ll be back tomorrow with Fun Finds Friday!

I definitely think 29 is a year when this happens for a lot of people. I wrote an almost identical post just after my birthday last year. We have all these goals, all these dreams, and when they don’t turn into reality on the timetable we’d hoped … it’s rough. I do genuinely believe, though, that hard work and dedication are rewarded. Your hopes WILL happen because you’re determined to make that your reality. And, you know, I really believe this, too … the journey makes the destination all the more worthwhile.
I hope so! I think you are so right. If you are determined and motivated then I think you can truly make anything happen. As long as you set your mind to it, it can come true!
I hope you get all you want AND MORE in your 29th year! You deserve it
Aww! Thank you so much, Natalie! You are so sweet!
Aww, you will be such a great mom! I’m so excited for that part of you guys’ journey to begin.
Thank you, Rach! You are so sweet!
