So last Friday I turned 26 years old… Can you believe that?!?!? 26!!!! FOUR YEARS FROM 30!!!!! Omyword! I don’t feel one bit older! In fact I think we should stop keeping track =) But I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday – I was CAMPING! For the first time in my life – I didn’t know how I would like it.. If I even would like it … But I gave it a try and I am so glad I did. In fact I think I’m now officially addicted to camping! My sweet husbands gift to me was to take me out on the lake in a pontoon boat for several hours. It was so relaxing and fun. I know when some people think about camping they think a tiny tent and sleeping on the ground.. Um, no. If you know me at all you know that would not work! We had a HUGE tent!! Electrical plug-ins, cell phone service, internet service, very clean showers and restrooms… it was AMAZING! Really roughing it. We got there Thursday evening and stayed until Sunday afternoon. I have to say I am a big fan of vacations – This is the FIRST vacations Matthew and I have taken in 4 years.
Then I got to thinking .. about whats happened since last year — yes I’ve gotten one year older, but have I actually GROWN??? And I think I have - I feel like I’m more in love with God than ever before!!! Of course I probably say that every year! But this year I really feel that way. I think there are some consecrations that I’ve made and stuck to that have made me stronger in the Lord. They are not for everyone and I won’t tell you what they are, but I know that it is right for me. I’m so glad that God was kind enough to show me “hey, that’s not really helping you”! So there’s that… then there are other ways – My marriage is awesome! I have the best husband ever! God really knew what he was doing with my life, even though I seriously questioned it at times. Matthew is the best thing that ever happened to me, besides the Holy Ghost. And we are currently trying to start a family … which… Oh Lord, Pray saints Pray!!!
Well there are too many things to name – But I do have to say I am proud of myself! I’m not trying to be boastful or anything… But looking back on the past year .. I got to say .. God has been SO good to me!!! And I’m really looking forward to another year!
