Yikes...I have decided there is a reason I am not in very many photos!
Happy Birthday to Blake too...not many people know we are the same age for 2 days!
The family playing a "friendly" game of HORSE
Crew - (our friend/boss Matt & Haley's son) was too cute enjoying a cup cakeWell it's official...I am 30! Okay well I actually turned 30 in May, but haven't had a chance to blog it yet. I have to say 30 feels GREAT! Milestone birthday's are fun...for some reason they make you stop and think about your life - where you are & where you thought you'd be. I found an old scrapbook I had to make in high school that had to include what we thought our life would be like at 30. Boy - was I WAY OFF!! I thought I would have 5 kids - yeah 5! Obviously written like a 17 year old with NO children! Among other things, I would have my degree in early childhood education, I would be living in my dream home, tending all my small children, travelling the world...blah, blah, blah! I am sure my senior English teacher read through all our scrapbooks and laughed! Maybe a few of those things would still be on my list of things I would have liked to accomplish, but the Lord had other plans!! 9 years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant, it was the scariest day of our lives...but over the past 9 years we have seen the power of the priesthood in action, we have been blessed to be a part of several miracles! Some day maybe we'll write about them. But when I relapsed 6 years ago, a team of doctors at the U told us there was a less than 18% chance I would live to see Jonathan start kindergarten, less than an 18% chance I would live to see Jonathan get baptized, & less than 18% chance I would live to see my own 30th birthday, and I am so glad they were WRONG!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Mason, Audra, Melissa Brown, Nicole, & Cheryl!
