THE BIG "30" !!!!!

So I am starting to feel a little old these days....probably because the BIG "30" is in a few days. I'm not a big Birthday fan to start off with, but thinking of 30 makes me even less of a fan. But then again ... when I think of my life and where I'm at, I'm feeling not too bad about getting a little older :) I am proud of the things I have accomplished thus far in my life. I am also proud to be a wife and mother. I am happy with most things in my life and the things I not a 100% happy with, I dare say I'm making almost a daily effort to change them. So I guess I should celebrate being 30 and be grateful for all my life's blessings thus far. For journal purposes (sorry people I like to blog but if I can knock 2 things out at once, then more power to me...this is my way of journaling) here are 30 things about me.

30 Things YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME

1. I love being a wife & mom
2. I am all about bedtime for kids ... quiet time
3. I enjoy decorating and shopping (HOBBY LOBBY)
4. I enjoy working with the teenagers
5. I want to travel one day to Italy, Scotland, and Europe
6. I would love to serve a mission one day (Religion is important in my life)

17. I HATE wrinkles in clothing ... they really bother me
18. I still can't believe I used to work at a couple of prisons but it was cool

OMG OMG OMG!!!! Kim, I am so estatic...way more than glad, that you found me!!!! I too have been looking for you, wondering what happened, etc. You are STUNNING in your wedding dress, and your family is so cute. Love your kids names too! How are you? Chicago, eh? I'm in KY...how about I come visit and we go see Wicked! Is it still there? :) I love you more than cleaning the stinking moldy shower curtain that only costs $2 but we were too cheap to go buy a new one! I also have the pic to prove it! :) I love your guts and now that you have found me, you are NEVER getting rid of me!! A ha ha ha (evil laugh!) Love you!
