Out with the 20's and into the 30's

So my birthday was yesterday...the BIG 3-0!

Leaving my Twenties just lets me reflect on all that I accomplished in the last decade.

• I earned my Associates degree from Ricks College.


• I FINALLY decided what I wanted to be when I grow up.


• I got my gallbladder out after over 2 years of trying to figure out what was wrong.


• I earned my Bachelors degree from BYU-I.


• I started teaching at GFHS, a school where I graduated from, but later discovered who I really am as I taught others. I taught there for 6 years!


• I backpacked through Europe.


• I visited lots of countries (England, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Russia, China, and Japan)


• I earned my Masters degree.


• I married a great man who I love more each day.


• I survived Mike's first deployment.


• I moved to a different country.


• I became a mother.

I made many friends and had more experiences than I can count. Those experiences have helped make me the person I am today. I wouldn't change things from the last decade even if I could.

As I look forward to my Thirties I can only hope that they are as great as my twenties, and that I can feel like I accomplished as much or more in the next ten years.

Mother Nature wanted to celebrate my birthday with a bang...so we got a Super Typhoon...people are still cleaning up the mess. At least it's something everyone will remember!
