So, since it is a decade mark, I thought I'd post a picture each of my first and second decade mark birthday times as well. (Got that?)
1st Decade:
Here I am at 10 years old. I was a little tom-boy. I remember being so embarrassed on this day getting our softball pictures because we were late and I didn't have time to put my hair in a pony-tail. I NEVER wore my hair down, except for church. How embarrassing! I played 3rd base for the Rebels. It was my first (and only) year of fast-pitch. The stats on the back of this picture say I was 4'10" and 72 lbs.
2nd Decade:
When I turned 20, I was at Ricks College and on the soccer team. I was totally into soccer and had great fun with the girls on my team, especially Jenny Brown!. Good times, good times! And I loved having my Virginia buddy, Melissa Burch, rooming with me! Can you tell which one is me in the picture? ..I'm in the white sweatshirt.
I was still 20 when I graduated from Ricks. As I was leaving frigid Rexburg, home of Ricks College, for the last time, I thought, 'I'm leaving Idaho and I will never live here again!' (No offense to any of you Idahoans, but I am Virginia-blooded through and through.) HA HA HA HA HA!! And here I am, living in Idaho. Do we ever learn to never say never?
3rd Decade:
Here we are to the present. I don't need to go into any sort of detail on this one. This blog is description enough.
On my b-day, we went to my sister Holly's house to watch conference and of course to have a party. Mom and Dad were there, too. It was raining, which was a great birthday present in and of itself. Everything got so green and nice, and it smelled scrumptious.
Holly made the most yummiest food and Mom made a cake with my most favoritest frosting: chocolate peanut-butter mint!! MMM MMM!! Thanks family!!! It was fun helping Holly set up her blog. Yay! And thanks for the sweatshirt Natalie(which I am wearing in these pictures)! It was a great birthday.
I love my life. I love my age, whatever age I am. I have never wished to be older or younger, and hopefully never will. Life just keeps getting better. I am always gaining more friends and more loved ones, and more wonderful experiences!

Great pictures of each decade. You were a serious ball player at age 10
What a treasure you are. I love you like a sister and I always will. I love your outlook on life. I need each of my sisters as my next door neighbor. You all have such a different and interesting outlook on life. Maybe in heaven.
