A New Decade

It's happening.  I'm leaving my 20's behind, and embarking into the 30's.  When did I sign off on this?  How did time accelerate to such breakneck speeds? 

There was a lot of talk about the preparation of turning 30.  A bucket list of sorts.  My cousin Ami and I decided that before we turned 30 there were some things we wanted to accomplish.  We each talked about what we had never done that we wanted to.  And then set out to check them off our lists.  Some of the things  on my list were..

hike to Havasupai..

ride a mechanical bull..

donate my hair..

lose 30 lbs. by 30..

There were plenty of crazy antics preparing for the big 3-0.  I think it's safe to say that we sent our 20's out with a bang.

So whether I like it or not it's happening. I'm choosing to embrace my 30's. I'm choosing to shed anything that's no longer important, and hold dear the people and things that are. To strive to live up to the title of this blog, and keep my life simple. I'm not expecting life to be easy, just trying to de-clutter and focus on what's important.

I'm looking forward to a new decade where I can breathe that sigh, and be comfortable in who I am, and what I have. To free myself from trying to keep up with others, or being a people pleaser, and focus on being happy. Content.

So here I am waiting to see what my 30's have in store for me.  I'm excited, a little nervous, but most of all hopeful that it's full of the people I love most and plenty more adventures.  Cannon ball!

6th Anniversary Trip

For our anniversary this year we revisited Yosemite with some of my family. Then headed to Reno to spend the remainder of the trip just the two of us. Glad to say we have kept our tradition alive of traveling for our anniversary. And glad to be married to my best friend.

6 Years

6 years spent with my favorite person. Never thought I would marry someone as funny, smart, kind, handsome, and good as Bob. Am one lucky girl.

Memorial Day with the Zeh's

We had a lovely day up Millcreek Canyon on Memorial Day. Good food, good friends, good day.

It's the weekend. Hurray!

The weekend is finally here.

This means I get to sleep in, and enjoy my mornings in one of my favorite places.. my bed. Oh and it's Mother's Day this weekend. Bob and I are pretty lucky to have such great mamas. Have a great Mother's Day everyone.

I love you because..

We have one parking spot that we should be sharing, yet somehow I always get it.

You start my car for me so it can be warm and the frost can melt before I go to work.  (Even when you have the worst cold of your life.)

You make me laugh. Every single day.

You find ways of making each birthday and holiday special.

You love me unconditionally.  Even when I'm irrational and grumpy.

You don't take yourself too seriously.

Thanks for being a husband I don't deserve, but am so glad I get to have in my life.

Yee Haw..

 Last Friday..

 I line danced..

 I karaoked..

And I rode a mechanical bull..

I have a list of things I want to do before I turn 30, and last weekend I crossed one more thing off my list.  Mechanical bull riding.  It was hysterical, and just as fun as I thought it would be. Yes, there's a cowgirl lurking around inside of me and was thrilled to be let out.  I was even pulled aside that night by a woman who told me I looked like I was having an awful lot of fun. I laughed and told her the funny thing was that I was doing it all sober.  You should have seen her face.  Yeah, I tend to get a little crazy.
