It’s official.  I’m thirty years old today.  The funny thing is, I don’t feel any different or paranoid about getting older.  It’s supposed to be a major milestone, but it just feels like any other birthday…really.

The truth is, I’m so grateful for where I am (we are) in life.  God is truly amazing!  His blessings never cease to amaze me.  I stand so humbled to have been given such a wonderful life thus far.  As I look back over this past decade, I am so proud of and thankful for the experiences I’ve had.  There is nothing more I could possibly wish for!

  • At 21, I ran my first marathon (I’ve run 5 more since and 4 half marathons).
  • At 22, I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a Bachelor’s in Liberal Arts.
  • At 22 and 1/2, I married the man of my dreams.
  • At 24, I earned my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and enjoyed an incredibly challenging year as a 1st grade teacher at Mayflower Elementary School.
  • At 25, we moved to West L.A., where I began a whole new adventure as a Middle School Math teacher (and I’ve loved almost every minute of it!).
  • At 26, we went on a mission trip to Kenya, where we met Hilary, the boy we’ve been supporting for 5 years now.  My perspective on the world, and my understanding of our great God, has never been the same!
  • At 26 and 1/2, we bought our first home (and it’s absolutely perfect!).
  • At 29, we visited Germany, Amsterdam, and Salzburg.  A trip of a lifetime.
  • At 29 and 1/2, I became pregnant with our first child.

I’m overwhelmed by God’s goodness.  I look forward to another decade of trusting Him and growing as a woman, wife and mommy.  I can’t even imagine the adventures He has in store!
