The day is here, the time is now, the 30's have left the building. I feel like my twenties were about finding love and starting a family, changing diapers, building career, enrolling kids in school and trying out school, physically its a lot of work. The thirties have been about being there to help kids emotionally and to help develop kids work ethic and their vision for their future. Its about finding my own goals and dreams and developing s plan on what i need to do to get there. To me its about caring less about who's right and focusing on being kind. Its about appreciating the body I have been given and focus on being strong. This is a big decade to recap. (30) bought some land and moved out to the beautiful dessert in Mescal Az. Lived in a travel trailer, an army tent with Scott and Suzie's family. No electricity, no running water all for a dream house that never got built. (31) Moved to a double wide mansion in Mescal. Had my last kiddo Adrianna. The hardest delivery of them all, she flat lined twice and needed to stay in the NICU for 10 roller coaster days. (32) Our dog Luke lost his eye sight and an anonymous donner paid for his treatment!! What the what! (33) Moved back to Tucson. Started Kokopelli Kids Preschool (34) Sold the land out in Mescal at a loss. (35) Fifteen years of marriage!! Celebrated in Canada! (36)The year of the radical, knocked out an insane amount of debt from the dream has house bust. Became foster parents (sorta) to a great teenage boy. Got the most surprising/ generous gift we have ever gotten. Paid the debt in full to the bank! (37) My last child goes to kindergarten, tear. (38) Easter morning we get the news that we are going to be able to buy a dream house! (39) We have Chinese foreign exchange students live with us for the entire school year. We (Benjamin) built a preschool! We start goat farming.
What a decade!! It's amazing what one decade can bring. Ten years ago yesterday I started this blog. What a journey. I'm so thankful for the ride. In the next ten years all my kids will be adults, why does time fly for adult and us so slow for kids?
Lindsey and I at about 7 :)
