turning 29

i've never actually felt the shift in years before but this year something is different...

1. my body is sore (from multiple games of mud volleyball at the cox's) and i'm choosing to believe it's due to the passing of the year's and not a sign that i'm horrificly out of shape.

2. i can't sleep. this morning i was awake at 3:30. i tossed and i turned and decided i must be awake for a reason so i spent the time praying for my family.

3. i'm hearing things that don't exist. while i lay awake in bed in the wee hours of this morning i was convinced i heard a knock on our front door followed shortly after by some other sound. then, through the monitor i could hear one of the babies stir so i decided we needed to investigate. it was 4am when i gave kevin a gentle nudge and whispered the words, "i heard something". with cell phones in hand we quietly walked through each room of the house starting on the top floor and working our way down. there was nothing, thankfully!

so with the start of this 29th year all i can say is something is different... my body hurts, i can't sleep, and i'm hearing things... but i'm embracing it. get ready lor and d - it's your turn :)
