The Last Day of our 20's

A friend just said to me, "So how does it feel to be living the last day of  your 20's?" And it hit me...woah! The 20's are over!  I got a little misty this evening looking through old pics and remembering what has happened to me in the past decade. 

The past 10 years I have loved and lost, found myself, strengthened my testimony and found my Savior, graduated from College, was married and sealed to the most amazing man anyone could ever ask for, bought our first home, taught first grade, became a mother for the first time and fell in love with my babies, was shocked to become a mother of twins again, and have found Joy in the Journey along the way. If the next 10 years is anything like the last 10 years I say "Bring it On!"

Here we are on the night Doug proposed at his Brother's house. We had a four course dinner and the ring was hidden in a fortune cookie. And our sweet nieces sang, "Catch a falling star."




So much to be grateful for, good health, a knowledge of the plan of happiness, great friends and a happy family.

I can't wait to see what comes next!

Happy Birthday!! Was it the 3rd? Didn't I figure this out last year - my bday was yesterday as well! How bizarre!! Only I WISH I could say it was my 30th! I turned 37 yesterday - My 30th bday I ended up with a false alarm in the hospital 6 mos pregnant with my first set, all while a surprise party was waiting for me at home! Yes, SO many changes in your 20s! You are blessed - hope it was a happy birthday!
