Here's to a new chapter!

Thanks Brian for being the Party Coordinator... you are a great friend!

I feel so lucky to be where I am in life! A few months ago I was panicked to be turning 30! But as my birthday approached I realized that my life is so great! I have the cutest little girl in the history of little girls.. I have an awesome family and amazing friends! I wouldnt actually trade anything right now! I am happy with my life and where it is and the people that are in it. I wouldnt want to be turning any other age. I am way better starting out this decade than I was the last! I am smarter, with more life experience.. more loving, empathetic and kind. I am more forgiving and laid back. I am happier, funnier and way cuter! ;) 30 is great! I am happy to be here and ready for the next chapter of life! This is my decade! Bring it on! 30 ain't got nothin on me!

My friends threw me a huge dance party to bring in the new decade! I have amazing friends who I love dearly! Thank you Krista for always knowing what to say to make me feel better! Thank you Kristin for being able to communicate with me telepathically! ;) Thank you Corinne for always being willing to do whatever sounds fun! Thank you Amber for being my Buddah! Thank you Danielle for always carrying around your camera to document my life! Thank you Ashley for relating so well! Thank you Kim for sharing the joys of single mommyhood! Thank you Shar for your kind heart and gentle words. Thank you Kinsey for being my friend through thick and thin for 15 years! Thank you Kari for always being a listening ear! Thank you Brandi for your unconditional love and support! You are all more like sisters than friends and I honestly couldnt be more grateful for the people that you are! Thank you for making this journey not only easier but so much fun!

Thanks to my family who has given me more support and love than anyone could ask for! you have been there with me through it all and I wouldnt be anywhere near where i am now without you! I know it sometimes goes unsaid, but I love you all with everything that I have. I appreciate all that you do for me and Kaya and feel so blessed to know that we will be together forever!

And to Kaya who is the light in my life. The one who makes me a better person, the one who makes me strong enough to lead my life the way that I do. You are my little angel that is here to bring me the good things this life has to offer. You make me better just by being with me. You are my baby, but you seem to surpass me spiritually! I love you with all of my heart and try to live my life everyday so that you will be blessed in the future. You are all that I need and I thank my Heavenly Father every single day for the opportunity that I have to watch you grow and learn and develop into the beautiful little girl that you are. You are the greatest blessing of my life. Thank you Kaya, for being you and for loving me! xoxox
