40 And Free

40 is 35 years of a perfect family
40 is 25 years of knowing my incredible husband
40 is 29 weeks of carrying Keegan and the miracle of his survival
40 is 8 and 9 lbs respectively of Mason and Landon's miraculous birth
40 is 17 years of living the miracle of marriage every day
40 is 37 years and finally answering God's call on my life
40 is 29 and publicly proclaiming my faith and living fully for God
40 is 27 and moving to Arizona to be part of a deeply blessed community of friends/family
40 is even 8 trips to the ER in 6 months and the miracle of great health care
40 is a 7 day cruise with the 4 loves of my life
40 is 5/31, Memorial Day. Perfect, as my heart overflows with gratitude and deep respect for all the soldiers who give everything so I can be 40 and free.
