Turning 30

Yup, that's right...I've only got two days left to be a twenty-something. I'm actually not having a hard time with this because my life is really very fulfilling. I've got a great marriage, two precious kids, I've had a career and now I'm lovin' just being a mommy and an aunt. Oh sure, I'm pretty stressed out most of the time by sick kids, disobedience, a sleepless baby and daunting tasks like laundry and potty training and a kitchen floor that just won't stay clean. But when I look back over this past year of highs and lows and the 28 years before that I can see a subtle thread that's been weaving it's way through my life. And that thread is my growing relationship with my savior, Jesus Christ. That relationship is what has gotten me through the disappointments and stresses of life and that relationship is what gives me great hope for the future. So as I've been mentally preparing for this big birthday I'm finding myself becoming more and more grateful for my savior and the sacrifice he made for me!

My 8th birthday.

My 11th birthday.
