Last year of my 20's!!!

My birthday was December 17th. I was born in 1980. THAT MAKES ME 29 THIS YEAR! I can't believe that this is the last year of my twenties.

I was watching TV with Justin one day and I saw some cheerleaders on a commercial. I turned to Justin and said, "Gosh, those girls look too old to be cheerleaders! They've got to be like thirty years old!".... Then I turned to Justin with a scared look on my face and said....."I mean, they look like 40 year olds! 40!!!"

I can't be that old yet. I have been running in some 5k races, and it seems that the female winner is always in her 3o's! That gives me hope.

Well, God has been soooo good to a very undeserving girl these past ten years. At twenty, I was at Mississippi College studying art, a life passion of mine. I had (and still have) incredible parents at home who have been Godly examples for me to follow. I had a sweet younger sister back home that I missed so bad and knew one day we would be close again! I had a twin sister that was my literally my best friend in college.

Then I met my funny, ocd, loving future husband, Justin. And in my mid-twenties, we finished college and got married. We first lived in an apartment, payed off debt, moved into our first house, and "got" our first child, a beautiful chocolate lab.

In my late twenties, we have had the opportunity to travel to different places with our families, develop lasting friendships with amazing people, enjoy teaching together at an incredible middle school (ECS), and last but not least, have our own first adorable baby boy! Life just couldn't be any better.

Thanks to ALL of you who have made my life soooo amazing. Again, God is an awesome God.

Justin made me a delicious fruit pie! I love the mix of fruit and sweet sugar cookie, and the dish always looks so beautiful. Thank you thoughtful husband of mine! He also brought home some beautiful pink roses.
