So today is my birthday. I'm entering my last year of my 20's. I've been thinking about it and have gone back and forth about if I'm happy about that or not. I have come to the conclusion that I am ok with it. I feel like I have grown a lot as a person this last year. I think I have had more trials this year than any other, however it has made me grow up and mature a little more. I feel like I am becoming an adult. I know that sounds funny....but for the longest time I haven't felt older than like 19. Well....I'm feeling the change. And I am digg'n it. I feel like I actually have a hold on a few things these days. I don't feel so out of control. I have learned that things felt out of control because I didn't take control. I'm taking it. I think one of the biggest things that will change this year is my weight. I have decided that I will have the body I NEVER had by the time I am 30. Dave and I started weight watchers in September. I have successfully lost 16 pounds and have kept it off. Much different than any other attempt at it. I know I will get the rest of my weight off and it will feel so good! I am going to ROCK 30!
In addition to the trials of last year I also was made more aware of the many blessings in my life. I have an awesome husband that loves me and puts his needs aside to make sure mine and the kids are met. I have two wonderful kids that take my breath away everyday! I have great parents, in-laws and brothers, sisters and a sweet little niece! I am so lucky to have the family that I have! For these blessings and many more I am so thankful. So here's to 29....may it be the best year yet!
Thank you to all of you who have wished me a happy birthday! You have really made my day!

Way to go with the weight watchers. Rand's parents did that while Rand was on his mission. They were really good sticking to it and doing it together made a huge difference for them. His mom lost 100 pounds and his dad lost over 200. It's a great program that taught them so much about eating right and excercising. They decided to do it again starting this month just to help keep things in check.
And enjoy 29...some of us are hitting 30 this year!!! Though I must admit, I'm not all that concerned about it...just another year and number. :o)
what a sweet note from kathy!
