29 Today!

Last night I thought I was going to have a panic attack realizing that I've been on this Earth for almost 30 years. That's crazy to me! But before I dwelled on it too long, I also started to think about me as a person. Within the last 10 years, or throughout my twenties, I am a completely different person than I used to be when I got out of high school. I've been able to set goals and have become an outgoing more confident woman (that's coming from the little girl who would cry at an Easter egg hunt or when a pinata was broken...I hated competition that much). I've moved across the country by myself, become a college graduate, a wife, a MOTHER, an in-law, a pageant contestant, a member of a college dance team, a competitor, a book club organizer, a primary councelor, a Relief Society teacher, a nursery worker, an HOA activities chair, and the list goes on. It's been good, bad, and even ugly sometimes (i.e.: last week). I've major highs and also some really low points, but through it all I've been progressing and I'm a better, more compassionate, person than I used to be. So if that's what getting older does to you I guess I'll just look forward to the journey. Here's to my last year in my twenties.
