Forty Is The New Twenty

Last weekend I turned forty, yes I am putting it out there and yes, I said it, FORTY! 

It was a great birthday, as far as birthdays go. I spent the weekend with family and friends and of course, I had to do a little running. But, as I sat there listening to everyone tease me about being "Over The Hill" I wondered what could I do that was out of my comfort zone, something new and exciting, something unlike most forty year old. After some thinking, and a little nudge from my good friend, Jen, I decided to start this blog! Yep, I know, it is crazy and I don't even know if anyone will listen or even care, but never the less, I am going to give it a go and see where God takes it. I do that a lot with things in my life!

So, welcome to my new blog. First of all let me warn you ahead of time, I am not the queen of grammar or spelling.  So, if you're one of those people who bites your bottom lip when you see badly written articles, this blog may not be for you! I am who I am (said Sam I am)! I am a proud Christian, a wife of seventeen years, a mother to three wild boys, a woman who has had numerous jobs, but still doesn't know what she want to do when she grows up, a Disney lover, and most recently a runner. I love how God made me (most of the time), and I think forty is going to be the new twenty, full of adventure, fun and craziness! So, my plan for the next forty years is simple, live life to the fullest, trying new things, and embrace every moment, good or bad, and if you want to follow along, I would love to have you join me!
