The Decades of My Life

3 Years Old (I think...)  I don't remember much about this age, but don't I look carefree and easy?  And loved...thanks, Mom and Dad, for a wonderful childhood.

13 Years Old...What can I say about this age.  I was happy, I was an emotional, hormonal wreck at times, and I began searching for the path I would take in life, which led me to gain my sure testimony of Jesus Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which teachings and doctrines have been the center of my life.  That being said, I would not go back to age 13 for anything!   

Age 23...married with one child.  The center of my life.  I was very happy, but I was insecure, constantly comparing myself to others, and making unrighteous judgements of others.  Again, this is a time I cherish, but I would not go back if I could!                        

And now I have arrived at the ripe old age of 33.    I still have that same handsome husband and 3 kids, who are still the center of my life.  I feel like I have gained much knowledge, wisdom, and inner peace.  I have fewer worries, a few wrinkles, and a little extra weight, but I am happy to be 33!  It's a great time!

fun to look back! I so agree with it all! Fun to remember our little girls so long ago - can't believe they are so big - Emma's only an inch shorter than me! with size 7.5 feet!

What an adorable post. I loved walking through the ages with you. You are just as adorable now as you were when you were three.
