In about 40 minutes will be my birthday. I turn 32 this year and can't believe how fast the last 10 years have gone, even the last 32 years! It's unbelievable to look back and think of all that has happened in my life. I am so grateful for where I am and who I have become. I am so comfortable with myself and proud of the things I have accomplished. Of course, I have a lot of growth and tons of work to do on myself, but I'm happy with who I am at this moment.
I am thankful for the wonderful family I have. From my Mom and brothers, nieces and nephews, and in-laws, to my fantastic husband and loving children. I have been so blessed to have each of these people in my life. I have the best aunts and uncles you could ask for, too. And my cousins aren't half bad. lol, just kidding, I love you all! :)
And I have been so blessed to have wonderful friends in my life. I have always had someone there to help me through the difficult times and laugh with me through the funny times. But I'm most grateful for the Spiritual and uplifting times we've shared as well.
I'm am thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be in my life and for the positive, lasting impact it has had on me. I know I am the better for it and I'm so happy to pass that on to my children. I love my Savior and know that he suffered and died for my sins so I can return to live with Him one day. And to help me find peace and happiness on this earth in this beautiful time of challenge, love, revelation, and goodness.
I am excited to begin a new year of life. To love more, laugh more, learn more, and grow more. What a gift and blessing.
Happy Birthday. We miss you guys. Are you coming home for Christmas?
