One year older and wiser too

Yesterday was my 36th birthday. I am so thankful for all the birthday wishes from dear friends and family. As I look back at the past year I feel so grateful for the strength the Lord has given me. I am amazed that this year, as hard as it has been, was a great year. I feel stronger both physically and spiritually. There have been many days in which I felt I was barley keeping my head above the water, but the blessing is that my Savior never let me drown. I also have started running this year. I started out really slow only running a 12 minute mile and in only a few months I am already up to 10 minute mile. For you runners out there I know that is not fast, but for me it is huge. I am blessed to have parents that love and support me, who are proud of who I am, a husband that adores me, children who know that my life is wrapped up in theirs, a sister for my best friend and wonderful friends who except me for who I am. I look forward to the year ahead and becoming one step closer to the woman I want to be.
