Today I turn 40 years old. It is hard to believe that I am starting a new decade in my life. There is something that I like to do when my anniversary or birthday hits that "0" year and that is to reflect on what God has done in the last few years.
Here are some things that God has done in my life or in my family over the last 10 years.
Six days after I turned 30, God blessed us with our last child, William. I have been blessed with three wonderful children and have been able to see them grow up. One of my favorite memories is that all three of them have asked Jesus to be their Savior and Lord of their lifes. I watched each one of them with tears in my eyes be baptized by the dad. I have learned all about soccer, football, theater/drama, and singing and have watched countless performances by all three. I received my teacher's certification and teach kindergarten. I love to teach kindergarteners. Paul has received his master's degree and began working as an administrator in schools. We have moved from Pflugerville to Cedar Park. The handbell quartet that I love was just beginning 10 years ago. We went to Disney World and to Washington DC for family vacations that are forever etched into my memory. We were able to see Nannie (Paul's grandmother) are our Walt Disney trip and celebrated her 100th birthday. Then we celebrated her life as she went home to heaven in April. I have been married to my best friend for the last 16 plus years. God has truly blessed my life and am excited about what is in store for me during the next 10 years.
