Birthday Blog

First family hike :)

I can't believe I'm 30 years young!  Wasn't I just making dirt balls and riding bikes in my neighborhood a little bit ago?!  God has blessed my life abundantly, and I am so grateful for his love.  I am thoroughly enjoying this season as a new mommy, and I'm so thankful that my husband cheerfully supports our family so I can stay home with our little love bug.  I'm also thankful to my  wonderful mother for loving me and raising me so that I can be a great mother to Lily.

Me and my beautiful mother - 1984

30 years later.  Me and my sweet Lily - 2014

This past year has been a whirlwind.  We finished renovating our house (almost), moved in, decorated (slightly), and had a beautiful baby girl.  I couldn't ask for more!  I still have to take life one day at a time though.  Otherwise, I'll stress out thinking about stuff I don't need to stress about.  

Lily is still a pistol.  She has such a personality for a three month old.  She's so alert and aware of her surroundings.  Lately, she hates her car seat and throws tantrums if she's overly tired.  We've already begun the child training process using a stern voice when she throws fits.  It's not easy or fun, but hopefully with time and as she begins to understand more, she will obey cheerfully.  

All in all, I am having a wonderful 30th birthday.  I look forward to rocking my 30's and embracing the journey God has me on with my husband and daughter.  House pics to come on my next blog...

by whether his conduct is pure and right."
