I turned 40 on April 25th. It's weird. I feel like I should feel "old". But I feel just the same. :) I hope that I am growing in wisdom. It would be a shame to have wasted all of my life experience. 
Anyway, happy to be here with all of you!
Blessings,

Welcome Nissa! You will enjoy this life experience as much as you have enjoyed the first part of your life! And what a wonderful project you have in your "new" home. A great experience for you and your family!

Didn't Mrs. Miniver have a part in it about how much more she was enjoying her 40's?
Let's just stop counting and enjoy all the days God gives us.
Happy Birthday!

Happy belated birthday Nissa and welcome to the over 40 club! Just wait, 'til you hit your 50's ~ life gets even more and more interesting all the time! This year I'll be 55, oldest ds turned 33, oldest grandchild will turn 11 and youngest grandchild was born 1/1/11! Double blessings all around! One of our favorite family phrases is "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be"

Happy Birthday, Nissa. Welcome to our side of the fence - the grass really is greener here. (Doesn't that make you all want to be at least 40? ).
Peace,
Nancy

Thank you all so much. I feel very positive about life after 40. I've had a feeling that there has been, for a long time, a well-kept secret about how wonderful it all is.
Blessings,

Welcome, Nissa! Like the old wine ad compaign said, "You're not getting older, you're getting better!" And the 40's is really a time to "get better" and grow in holiness and trust in God. May the Lord bless you all the days of your life!
I love your family house details, too!
