Graduation and 30

Davis graduated from Kindergarten last month. Here is a picture of him with his fabulous teacher, Mrs. John.Davis and his classmates participates in a wonderful program to commemorate their graduation.

May 20th was my 30th birthday! As we often do on our decade birthdays , I took a moment to reflect on the past ten years of my life. I have been so blessed! In the last 10 years of my life, I have given birth to 4 beautiful children, obtained a degree, moved 5 times, held several wonderful callings, celebrated 10 fabulous years of marriage, and gained many precious friends. I have an extended family that I am extremely close to and I feel so loved.

As fantastic as the last ten years have been, I am loving the stage of life I am in right now. I am able to play games and go on bike rides with my entire family. I no longer have to tote an enormous diaper bag with me everywhere I go, and I don't have to change diapers or wipe bottoms. I am able to work part part-time doing something that I love. I can go to the temple with Riley and not have to worry about high-tailing it back to nurse a baby. In fact, we can even get out for a few minutes, if it is just here in town, and leave the children alone.

In a nutshell, I am 30 and loving it!
