Veintisiete

Twenty Seven things I've done in my twenty seven years.
These are the things I'm most grateful for. There are some silly things, some serious, but all things that I'm glad I've checked off my bucket list.


1. I've had a baby girl


2. I've completed a Bachelors Degree


3. I've laughed so hard I almost puked


4. I've been to the ocean


5. I've taught myself to cook (with several phone calls to my mother- she helped.... tons)


6. I've been legally, lawfully, eternally wed to a hottie


7. I've helped more than one teenager find direction in their life


8. I've sang my heart out in the shower and into a microphone


9. I've wiped away a tear and put band-aid's on booboo's


10. I've traveled to Mexico, Canada, Honduras, and Belize


11. I've spent a week in the woods without a shower


12. I've starred in my own home movies


13. I've been good n' kissed


14. I've gotten through trials big and small, and learned I can be happy through everything


15. I've traveled by bus from one side of the US to the other


16. I've learned how to make friends and keep them


17. I've started to write my life story down for my kids and grandkids


18. I've scaled a cliff with my bare hands (and lots of rope)


19. I've been skinny dipping in a freezing lake at 3am


20. I've danced on a stage, and in my living room


21. I've shared my testimony of God, of Christ, and of the Book of Mormon.


22. I've learned to work hard and to really value hard work


23. I've had my heart broken


24. I've taken beautiful pictures


25. I've supported myself financially

26. I've loved. A lot a lot a lot.


27. I've received love. A lot a lot a lot.


Maybe tomorrow I'll post 27 things I want to do in the next 27 years. As for now, I am happy and content with the life I've lived thus far and I'm looking forward to more good things. One of those good things will happen at the end of January (and is happening now).

Here I am, in all my 24 week glory. I don't like posting "belly pictures" but I'm just really excited about my little man and I want him to see that.

Pam- Don't worry, I look WAY bigger in person :) I picked this picture 'cause I didn't think I looked like a blimp. But, be assured, I do look like one in real life :). Gotta love it!
