Farewell Twenties

Age is Relative

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

they shall be fat and flourishing.

-Psalm 92:14

It always good to know that you are following the scriptures and this one is particularly easy to follow. As I sit here and eat my cereal I am hit with the reality that this is the last day I will ever be in the twenty's and I am starting on a new decade. WOW. I have accomplished many amazing things. Here are a few at the top:

1. I am sealed for Time & Eternity to the greatest man in the world

2. I have three amazing little girls

3. I have a Bachelor's Degree in my favorite field

4. While the numbers are limited the girls that I call my favorite are the most inspiring, spiritual, amazing, and beautiful women I know, I love them and they love me

5. We own a house (if only for a few more months)

6. I have traveled to different countries (thanks mom & dad) and learned so much from that

7. I have found a Hobie that I love and I think I'm pretty good at (which helps the ego)

8. My Han Solo bought me the coolest car ever for my birthday a few years ago

9. I still play and love sports, I dance every week, and get out of the house almost on a daily basis with my Ewoks to explore the world around us

10. Despite all the things I am trying to improve because I have not been as happy as I think I should be...guess what I AM HAPPY and I AM LOVED!

Not a bad list on the last day of my twenties.

President Gordon B. Hinckley said this;

"Age is more a matter of how you feel, how you think, and what's going on in your head than what's going on in your feet."

I hope that for the next ten years I will be able to remember this. I remember growing up and I had some friends who's mothers and fathers were the same age as my grandparents and I thought WOW they are old. Others were younger but acted old and then there were mine who were not too young and not too old. I remember them as having fun and enjoying life with my brother and I. I remember thinking I want to be young enough when I am a mom so that I can be considered fun to my kids and we can play and do things together. I had my first Ewok at the same age my mother was when she had me, so I am on a good track. Thanks mom & dad for the last 30 years and thanks Han Solo for still thinking I am beautiful and fun even if I will no longer be a twenty-something.

Farewell Twenties HELLO THIRTIES!
