Highlights of my 30 years so far: Born, baptized, hiked half dome in Yosemite, graduated High School, moved away, got engaged, married the most amazing man in the Fresno California LDS Temple, had 6 beautiful kids, bought our first house, went to Portugal, Germany, and Italy, took our kids to Disneyland several times, bought our second house, went to Hawaii, celebrated 10 years of marriage to the most amazing man on earth! Ran a full marathon, survived over a year (and counting) as the Bishop's wife, training for a half marathon... I think it's been pretty amazing so far! Can't wait to see what the next 90 years will bring!!!
