28 with Acne

Today I am just that much closer to 30. I guess I don't really feel like what I imagined 28 would feel like many years ago. I certainly didn't imagine that I would still be battling with acne! Uggh! Seriously, I think all the hormone changes in the last 3 months have caused my face to produce copious amounts of oil purely in rebellion. I'm going to have to get serious about this Proactiv routine again!

Some of you may laugh at this, some may agree, but I feel like my biological clock is ticking now too. Maybe part of it has to do with the recent troubles, because really, 28 is PLENTY young for making babies! :)

When I think of how close to 30 I am, I feel like time is just slipping through my fingers. What has happened all of these years?? How come I'm not one of those "millionares under 25"? I feel like I need to get a move on with my dreams before it's too late! (My dreams don't really consist of making millions, though I wouldn't complain if I somehow stumbled upon that windfall). Can dreams coming true really be as fun at 40 as they can in your 20s? ;)

Tonight I go to bed feeling pretty satisfied with what God has put in my life thus far, but looking forward to what other exciting treasures he has around the corner for me. I also go to bed looking forward to a weekend away with my wonderful husband. I go to bed with the idea in mind that, while I will never forget what happened such a short time ago, I know it's time for fresh beginnings. It's time for a renewed sense of purpose in being Jonas' mommy and Nate's wife and God's beloved daughter.

To fresh starts at 28!
