The BIG 30!

Well it happened, I turned 30 today. I feel the same, I look the same...I am the same! I know it is a big deal to some people but to me it was just another birthday, another day.



In my 30 years I have made some awesome memories. My child hood was great, I was very blessed to grow up in a house with both my parents and it was important to them to take me to church every Sunday and Wednesday. I was saved at an early age, 5 I think. My mother in law was the Sunday school teacher the day I gave my heart to Jesus!





As a 3rd grader I had a crush on Caleb (yes my husband). At church camp he took me to the banquet, He brought me stinky, sticky purple wild flowers and a snickers bar(still my favorite candy bar). On a church camp out I forgot my blanket and got to sleep with his! LOL! I was so boy crazy.





As I became a teenager my crush on Caleb waned and I found myself (according to my mother in law) with lots of other boyfriends. The best high school memory I have is my senior year, my sister was a freshman and we dated best friends. It was fun spending every second with her. She is my VERY best friend to this day!


After high school I attended Amarillo College on a full scholarship (vocal music) That was fun and full of concerts and trips. There is nothing like singing in an awesome choir (I will do it again someday) I also was in the chours in some Operas...The Mikado, and Carmen were two of my favorites.

Then (also according to my mother in law) Caleb asked me on a date between boyfriends. I was a college freshman and he was a senior in high school. He took me to Discover 96' ,remember that (Labor day, fireworks) We went on a few dates and then when I decided to break up with him because we were just friends. It was then that I discovered I was actually in love and couldn't live one more day with out him in my world! We married March 11, 2000.( the best thing I have ever done)

Our adventure has been great so far. We have bought, fixed up and sold 3 houses. We also hve rental property. This is Caleb's dream so I stand behind him.

Our first daughter Morgan was born May 24, 2004



and our second daughter Claire was born November 16, 2007 We also have a baby in heaven, I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2006. It was a tough time. I cannot complain though my life has been easy. I am so blessed to be where I am in life and surrounded by people who love me. If you are one of those people, thank you ! You are a big part of the reason my life is so awesome and this birthday is one I am so thankful for. My 30 years have been BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE and I feel like my story has just begun.............
