Looking Back.....

So today I turn 35 and it feels like a milestone. It is hard to believe that I am that old...where oh where has the time gone??

Born April 6th 1975, Springerville, AZ with complications from Group B Strep, was flown to St Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix where I was given 1 out of 7 chances to live. With much faith and prayers from my family I am here today.

At age 5 I started Kindergarten at Reserve Elementary, Reserve, NM. I vividly remember Mrs. Cole and the smell of the classroom and those "terrible" afternoon naps we had to have.

At age 10 my mom finally had a baby girl (Teonna) after having 4 boys in a row after me.

At age 15 I was working at AirStar (my favorite job ever, next to being a mom of course)

At age 20 I can't say I know exactly what I was doing at that time. I tried college and it didn't agree with me at the time. I dated all the wrong guys, but the things that kept me going were my family and my job at AirStar (a seven year dream job)

At age 25 I had just married the most amazing man. He is caring, considerate, and most of all loves me just the way I am. I never dreamed I would find anyone like him.

At age 30 I was a mother of two (Caelin 4 and Jace 2). How far I had come.

Today at age 35 I just celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary and my marriage is better than ever. I am now a mother of four (Caelin 9 (today), Jace 7, Jett almost 21 months, and Calissa 4 months).

And lastly at age 35 after all my babies are here I am working my butt off to literally get my butt off.

And that is where the time has gone.
