Hello 30!

30 Years Young

Part of me giggles when I think about turning 30 and the other part of me hysterically laughs because I’m not mentally that age.  Some people find it hard or depressing to age, but I think it’s a true testament of a blessing. I get to turn 30, that’s something to celebrate. In my 30 years I’ve made some great memories, made some righteous mistakes and laughed way too much. I have so much room to grow, so much to learn and so very much to see.

Here’s to celebrating 30 and the years to come. If you can’t see me today, please have a piece of cake, honey bun, Dr.Pepper or some pie in my honor. You deserve it and in true fashion, you can even have two pieces … because that’s what I’d do for you.

In my 20's: I joined the married life, the home owner bunch, traveled a lot, joined the mommy world & ran way too much. 

My Bucket List for my 30-something year in life.

*fine print – can and will probably change*

B-i-b-l-e. I hope you sang Bible out like I did. I want to read the entire bible. I hope it takes me longer than a year, I hope some verses strike me and they make me over think and evaluate. It's funny because I always think the bible is so boring, but in all actuality things that took place years ago, still take place today. 

Take an advance photography course. I want to learn how to change some lighting and such in pictures. Make them extra gnarly. I love pictures! I think they're great to have and our house is covered in great memories. I love snapping pictures for others too! 

Master’s degree. I want to start working towards my Master’s degree, not sure if it’ll be an MBA or something extra spectacular. I really do hate school, but I like to learn and think about things bigger than me. I like to learn how the world functions and what I can do to help or how to see the picture differently. 

Visit Colombia. This may get marked off since my sista is engaged & lives in Colombia! Hello beautiful water, great fruits and wedding cake. . . I don't like to travel, but I love to see my family and see what they're up to. I would love to visit my sister's paradise and see things through her eyes. 

Fajitas. I want to make bomb fajitas. I love Mexican food. I love fajitas and so does C. I can make some and they're okay, but they're not like real-deal fajitas. 

Guitar. Take more than 2 lessons. So Parker-the-great gave me 2 lessons, then my fingers felt like they were bleeding, so I took a break, that turned into a year... I have a beautiful guitar that needs to be played, so I will learn. 

Open mic night. I want to sing 1 song. I like to sing, but I don't like to do it in front of others. I'm not shy, I just don't like to know anyone in the crowd. So I will probably end up singing at church in the toddler room and it'll probably be some Frozen song because that's all they like right now. 

Open mic night. I want to do #4 while playing the guitar. eekkk... 

Ice cream. I want to try all 31 flavors at BR. I love ice cream, like a lot. I like ice cream more than I like regular real food, so yeah, this is going to happen. 

Marathon. I want to run the Mercedes Benz 2016 full marathon. Mainly because the medal is pretty and because when I cross they'll say "Mercedes" 

Oh & before we part. . . I stopped sharing our #30RAK doings because it started to get a little personal and I didn't want to share any circumstances or events. I will leave you with our last random act . . . I am growing my hair to donate 10 inches to an organization that helps kiddos in need. I keep wanting to cut my hair, I'm not a fan of long hair, but I keep thinking about the precious kiddos who are waiting for wigs and I'll grow my hair again and again to help them get whatever style of wig they choose. This will be an ongoing once a year donation. Through our random acts of kindness, I pray someone was inspired to give, someone was inspired to do and to act in kindness. 

Be blessed my friends, stay classy San Diego.
