Twenty-Eight.
I don't really know how it got here so fast, and I definitely don't feel like I am 28. But as of today I am officially 2 years away from 30 (insert huge sigh).
I can honestly say that my life has played out much differently than I ever could have imagined...but I wouldn't want it any other way.
To celebrate 28 years of life I thought it would be fun to share 28 random things about me...things I love, things I have learned, things that have made me who I am today. So, here goes...
28. I have a slight obsession with penguins. My dream would be to have one as a pet.
27. My drink of choice will always be a nice, cold Diet Coke.
26. Twenty-two years ago I gave my life to Christ--BEST. DECISION. EVER.
25. I strongly dislike Winter.
24. I love a good rainy day every now and then.
23. I have learned over the years the intense love of God--and that He gives it freely, even if I mess up...a lot (and trust me, I mess up a lot).
22. I love to sing. All the time.
21. My favorite day is June 27--the day I married my best friend, David.
20. To have several friends is great, but to have a few friends that know everything about you and still love you--those are priceless. Lucky for me--I was blessed with those kind of friends :)
19. In 28 years of life--I cannot think of a single moment that God was not faithful to me.
18. My sister and I started the Mini Horse Club-- we are up to a handful of members. Our goal is to own mini horses one day. Mine's name will be Scooter. hehe.
17. My favorite movie is The Chronicles of Narnia. I wish Narnia was a real place.
16. I have an insane fear of snakes...
15. In case you didn't know--I have the most amazing family in the whole world.
14. And in case you didn't know--I married into the greatest family ever.
13. I have learned (and am still learning) that worrying about things is an insane waste of my time. And I really have no room for fear in my life. Jesus has me in His hands--and that is all I need to know!
12. I have seen so many miracles in the last couple of years. And it stirs up so much hope in my soul. Here are a few of those miracles...
11. Things I wish I could do: play piano and guitar, knit, sew and be an amazing baker :)
10. I love my sissy. We have had our moments, like all siblings do--but she is one of my favorite people on the planet.
9. My puppy, Delilah, brings me a ton of joy (most of the time), but she has given me a slight glimpse of what being a parent will be like :)
8. My favorite color changes quite frequently. At the moment it is burnt orange.
7. My favorite day of the week is Thursday. I don't know why--it just is.
6. Sometimes I wish that instead of getting a degree in Education, I would have been a Marine Biologist or a Zoologist. Then I could work with penguins.
7. I am addicted to sweets. Not a good thing.
6. David and I eat pizza more than any other food. Again, not a good thing.
5. A beautiful, sunny day brings me ultimate joy. It is usually on those kind of days that I feel like no matter what is going on in my life, that everything is going to be okay.
4. Year 27 of my life was a very hectic year full of a lot of change--readjustments--and blessings.
3. Each year of life brings new outlook to the days ahead.
2. I am sure of this: I AM BLESSED!
1. Twenty-eight is going to be an epic year in my life--I just have a good feeling about it. Here's to trusting in God's guidance and favor over my life. And believing for things that seem impossible :)
Be Blessed, dear friends!
Jenn
Happy Birthday!
