almost 31 years since I was born (oops, I mean 29...see what happens when time flies)
15 years since I learned to drive
13 years since I graduated high school
12 years ago that I met Mike
12 years since I started going to NorthRidge (Temple at the time) and God gave me the awesome privilege of serving on the praise team
7 years ago that I graduated College and entered the working world
6 years ago that we got Married
5.5 years ago that Bailey joined the family
3.5 years ago that Bruin joined the family
3 years ago that my best friend moved away
almost 3 years since my father passed away
almost 3 years ago that we decided to try and add children to our family
2 years since we moved into our new home and endured what seemed to be endless construction
1 year ago that those precious Bettinger twins were born 3 months early at a fragile 2 lbs, so unsure of what the future would hold (and so many other friends blessed with the birth of their children!)
1 year ago that I left my job and was blessed to work with Parker and Lori
almost 8 months since God saw fit to bless us with a pregnancy!
It is amazing how things can feel like they happened just yesterday, and an eternity ago all at the same time. As consumed as I was with so many of these stages in my life, I often feel now like they were just mere moments in time.
I have to admit that this makes me a little sad looking into the future. Everyone says to enjoy your time with your children because it goes by so fast! I know this is true, and I want to strive to make the most of every moment...I really do. Not just with my child(ren), but in my marriage and in every area of my life. We have been so blessed thus far. I pray that the memory of those blessings will inspire us to focus on what is most important and create many more great memories.
