Striving to Live a Life of Adventure, Excellence, and Faith.

Turning 35...........

 A Little Birthday Treat at Dinner with my hubby at Ruth's Chris

I turned 35 on Friday!  And, no this year I didn't have any quarter-life or mid-life crisis.  LOL!  I don't think I will ever live down the panic I experienced when I turned 25.  Ha!!  The day was absolutely perfection.  Matt and I both took off the Friday to make a three day weekend, so I was able to sleep in before heading out to run errands and a little shopping.  After a fun day of shopping around K-Town, we headed to a nice dinner and enjoyed just spending the day together.  Matt (as always) made the day simply perfect, and I simply couldn't have experienced a better day!

 
Loving my new right hand ring from my sweet hubby!

As with most birthdays, I (like many of us) find time to reflect on the past year(s) and look forward with anticipation for the next year holds.  My 34th year didn't disappoint, and it truly was a year of transition. However, as I head into my 35th year, and still going through major transitions, I cannot help but have a new hopes and dreams for this year.  And, to help keep me a little more accountable, I thought I would share some of those wishes for this coming year:

Congrats on turning 35! I'm one year older than you and your blog is one of many that I have bookmarked - and I pop by every once in a while. I was encouraged to see that some of the things that would be on my list (had I made one at the time of my birthday) were also on yours. I get down on myself thinking that I should have mastered some of these things by now: morning quiet time routine, weight loss, read more books...and I even have PCOS too! But lately, I've just been meditating on the verse that says even when I'm unfaithful (in big & little things) HE remains faithful (2 Tim 2:13) Birthday Blessings to you ~ Susan C.

Oh...and Beth Moore with Living Proof Ministries does a great scripture memorization program in odd numbered years (2015!) and it's an opportunity to memorize 24 verses throughout the year! You can check it out at blog.lproof.org

Kim! I may be able to help with the Pink Martini goal! I grew up with one of the band members in the Midwest. Nice to hear that you enjoy their music!
