Don't Blink...

...I really do believe 100 years goes faster than you think! Lance and I celebrated our 33rd birthdays this week! I realize that it's not quite 100 years, but I can see how time really does go faster than we think. I don't really know what it is, but 33 was a little hard for me this year. Although, I am still greatful that I'm not 20 again...I kind of like who I've become (although I wouldn't mind that body back again).:)

I think that it is just that so many important things have happened in our lives in the past 10 years. It seems that you spend the first 20 years of life learning from your parents, being shaped into the person you hope to someday become, imagining what your future holds and setting and achieving goals in hopes to become and have all that you have dreamed of .

In the past 10 years I have chosen a carrier path, met Lance, graduated from college, found a great job, got engaged, shared the gospel and saw the man I love be baptized, got married, got sealed in the temple, shared 3 amazing years with my husband doing EVERYTHING together, established a home and foundation to start a family, had 4 beautiful children, experience the most stressful times in my life with 3 of them....and turned 33!

There are many more things that have happened in between all of that, all of which are incredibly important as well, but those are the highlights that come to mind. And in the next 10 years I will spend my time (as my parents did)....teaching my children, shaping them into the people I hope they will someday become, imagining what their future holds and helping them set and achieve goals in hopes to become and have all that they dream of......And continuing to love my husband and build on the relationship that got this whole thing started.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANCE...THANKS FOR HELPING ME MAKE ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE! I LOVE YOU!The boys were so excited to make their Dad a birthday cake, sing to him and most of all help him blow his candles out.

These are the flowers Lance bought me for my birthday. He is always so thoughtful that way and he has always been a "flower guy".

Also for my birthday, Loren and Kaycee were over because Lance was working on their apartment. So, Kaycee made us a spagetti dinner and the most amazing chocolate cake ever. She cleaned my kitchen and helped Garrett decorated his sugar cookies for school. Thanks so much Kaycee I really appreciated that and it made for a great birthday!
