Thirty-Two

As a Preface,
I have to say that this is my blog, but knowing that others read it (not so much anymore because I never post, so I'm not as worried! :) I try to keep it a little, LITTLE light on the religious side, but as I was telling my friend the other day, anything of worth or value in me is absolutely connected to God and religion. So while I have kept it light, I always feel like I'm not REALLY conveying who I am or what I think. Nuff said! My blog, not going to hide in that aspect. Ok Preface is over. :)


Today I am a newborn 32 year old. What do I really have to say about 32 years? I guess it's kind of a middle ground. Well, almost. 40 is probably more of a middle ground because it's not uncommon to live to 80. So at this point, I have more to look forward to than backward. Sooo.... I am very excited and look forward to who I will become, and also watching what my Husband will become! I see many of the gifts Heavenly Father has given me and very much anticipate finding more that wait to be discovered! I see the trials that I face and have faced, and thank my Father for the strength, wisdom and experience that they gift me. I have been blessed so greatly, and I look forward to 32+ more years of serving my Father and seeing all the ways that I will be privileged to bless the lives of others. I look at my list of 100 goals and as I see a few slowly coming to pass, I can't wait and am so excited to see how the others will unfold! I love my dear, dear friends that I have made and am grateful for the further opportunity to make more! I love the little challenges in my life that show me what I really CAN do. I can't wait to see all the ways that I will get to serve the Lord! I'm so grateful that I am only 32, which gives me a little bit more time to become more like our Savior, and Joseph Smith (I'm terribly fond of Joseph too! I am especially fond of the fact that people were concerned that he was too playful! Yep! That's the ship I'm after! :). I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have everyday to grow a little bit more spiritually. I look forward to sharing with and watching my children experience life and succeed in it.
So, I conclude that 32 is good. It will be one more good year, and I am excited to see all the progress I have made when I return to this day once again a year from now.
