At the end of this month, specifically on the day of spooks, I will celebrate my existence and presence on this earth for 25 years. Yep, a quarter of a century! I am very excited about this, but am not really sure why. I have had the opportunity to do and experience many things over the last 25 years. So, I have decided to list 25 accomplishments/experiences from my life!
1 - Birth, ha!
2 - Growing up on a 400 acre ranch without ever breaking a bone or being seriously injured.
3 - Baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
4 - Having friends in many different 'circles'.
5 - Adjusting to a move from Oregon to Arkansas at the ripe age of 14.
6 - Having parents who survived having a 14 year old, teenage, hormonal daughter dealing with a move from Oregon to Arkansas.
7 - Only group dating while in High School.
8 - Having the option of graduating early, but sticking it out.
9 - Because of sticking it out for that senior year, meeting my Mr P.
10 - Getting in to Brigham Young University.
11 - Temple Marriage.
12 - Finding a spouse who is ... well, wonderful.
13 - Keeping great relationships with my siblings.
14 - Gaining wonderful in-law relatives, be it from my siblings spouses or my spouses family.
15 - The Lord blessing me with a chance to do seminary a second time, as a teacher, just 3 years after completing the first time!
16 - Learning how to take photographs and taking lots of great pictures of family and friends (inspired by many great photographers, including KATHY GEORGE!).
17 - I had a GREAT time in Young Women's, completing all needed tasks in the old Personal Progress Program wat the age of 16 years.
18 - Having a way and the means to be there for my friends and family when it's really needed.
19 - My niece, C
20 - My nephew Ch
21 - My nephew Cy
22 - My nephew Ct
23 - Dreaming big and going after those dreams.
24 - Having faith in His plan
25 - Looking a head to 25 more great years!
Okay... so maybe this was a little ambitious. For those of you that know me or have read my blog for a while... help!

What about learning how to take great photography and taking lots of great pictures of family and friends?
Happy Birthday! It could be pretty fun having a Halloween birthday, did you like it growing up?
Thanks! I will add that.
As a kid I really didn't like it, I could never have a birthday party on my birthday. One year, my mom did a right after school, in the gym, skating party. I think that was the best year. As a teenager, my friends and I had a blast. We would get a big group together and dress up. We would then go trick-or-treating, using my 'it's my birthday' justification where needed.
How about being one of the best girls in Young Women's in the Fayetteville 2nd Ward. ;-))
BTW, all the years we spent in YW's together, I never knew you liked taking pictures that much. I like to think that maybe I might've had a little, teeny, tiny bit to do with that. Did I?? ;-))
Of course you did!
PS - Kathy, you better invite me to your blog!
What's your email addy?
My first name combines with my married last name at gmail.com
Okay, Carlye, you have the invite. But I don't exactly update mine that often. ;-))
Wow, this is easy! How about you have always been such a GOOD friend--always caring, loving, but not afraid to help when you're needed. Thank you for being a great friend to me!
Another one is your extreme willingness to do what the Lord would have you do. You're a great example!
Hey did you ask my permission to use a picture of my family on your blog little missy?! How great is it that Taylor was also in my belly in that shot.
haha. I love it that she was there!
