Five. 0.

It's finally here.

I've been thinking about it a lot this year.

Thinking of how my body has changed so over the years....

and that even my face has changed.

Under my jaws are these saggy things that have appeared

that weren't there before!!!

I had to have dental work this past year and not just your

typical stuff either! We're talking replacements!!!

But I'm so thankful, that as expensive as it is,

I was able to have it done ~

It's funny though...

that as I reach this numerical milestone,

in my mind,

I still think of myself as that nineteen year old...

soon to be married,

and so excited about the time ahead of me!!!

Time passes so quickly,

my babies have arrived and grown into men,

and here I am.

One thankful girl!!!!

No matter what age I am,

I am thankful for each and every minute

I have been given on this earth ~

to enjoy my childhood, with my mama, daddy and brothers ~

then with my precious husband and our thirty plus year marriage and

the gift of our five sweet sons.

And now to have the gift of a granddaughter?

That's the icing!!!!!!

Whatever's left from here on out is the icing......

don't you think?!!!!!

Thank you always for stopping by here,

for reading my thoughts and for leaving yours!!!

love you all so much,

Dawn
