Some Birthday Picts!

I had a very nice birthday! My friend Chera and her wonderful kids came over for breakfast. Mom and Jeff tried to surprise me, but didn't! Aidan and I met Courtney and the kids and Jeff for lunch at the Olive Garden. Then we ordered pizza for dinner! Busy day! Much more than I normally do! :)

I can't believe I am 29, I don't really like it. I think I will deal with 30 much better! I have learned a lot about myself this past year! I have learned to rely on God. I know He is in control even when I can't see it! I have also learned to allow others to help me! I am not superwoman and can't do it alone. Thanks everyone for all your help! :) I learned I am pretty good in emergency's when I need to be. I have also learned that I am not as outgoing as I once was! I would rather stay at home with my boys than do anything else. I used to thrive in a big crowd and now I hate them! One thing about me that I know and am working on is I am a people pleaser and I am trying to get better at that! I just want everyone to be happy all the time! I hate when people get mad at me so I try to make EVERYONE happy and that is too hard!! I want be a God pleaser and not a people pleaser, I want to find my worth in what He thinks! So if I say no lots this year please try to understand! We are still recovering from our year and are going to lay low alot! I am also going to try to be better at speaking God's truths even if it offends someone! He is the light, the truth and the way! Sometimes that is hard to hear, but it needs to be heard! I want to grow in my relationship with Christ, be the best wife and mama I can be, become a healthy eater who exercises and I also want to catch up, and keep up, on my scrapbooking! I want to be better at meal planning and cooking healthy. I have a lot of work ahead of me and I am rambling so I better stop now!

So in my 29th year I will continue to learn about myself and grow as a Godly woman! It is hard work, but I see no end in sight! :)
