Twenty-four

So I like to plan parties.

Even my own birthday party.

and I think it turned out really well! 

I am truly blessed to have such great friends.

And a great husband who puts up with me :) 

I was reading this blog earlier, and I think she took the words right out of my soul.

"I am a deeply blessed woman. As I begin my (twenty-fourth) year I am feeling much more reflective and quiet. I feel life speeding up and the risk of missing it crouching at my door. I long to be an authentic woman who shares her heart freely and simply and above all I want to trust God. I am so weary of simply trying to please Him - I want to live into the freedom that is trusting Him."

Twenty-three was a tough year for me! 

Probably the toughest thus far. 

Moving away from home was very difficult

and having a husband in pilot training? Even more so...

But it made me stronger, more experienced,

 and I fully intend to use the insight I gained

to build a brighter and more accomplished Courtney.

I'm sick of thinking about my dreams.

I'm ready to live them.
