Happy May! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while...I've been out enjoying the beautiful weather and in the pool working off my post-surgery weight!
No recent updates on LG, but I am resting easy knowing that she headed home 1 month after the transplant cancer free! This means she's been home (I hope) for just over a month! I am so thankful that God allowed the opportunity for both of us. It was a healing process for us both.
So my 30th birthday is coming up in 1 week and I am so excited! My Mom on the other hand can't believe that she has a 30 year old daughter. She claimed that I was going to surpass her in age very shortly...but she's got the big 5-0 coming up next month and don't think for a moment I will let her forget it! She claims to be excited for every birthday she gets...but I know she is secretly a little spooked by the 1/2 century mark. I am sorry that I live 3,000 miles away and will not be able to pull off a super secret surprise party, but I did that for her 30th birthday, so it's someone elses turn this time!
I find that I have moments of questioning and worry about the future. Especially when it comes to wanting to make a difference and leave my mark on the world. I sometimes wonder what I've done to make the most of my time on Earth. So....I am keeping a list of things I am accomplishing in my 30th year. I think it's important to remind myself that although I still have some outstanding adventures (i.e. marriage and kids), there are quite a lot of adventures I have completed (and have planned). So far this year I have completed:
1. A 5k
2. A 10k
3. A successful bone marrow donation
4. Skiing some awesome slopes in Tahoe
5. And was a Maid of Honor for my best friend!
On the To Do List are:
1. Skydiving and
2. My 2 week vacation to the Caribbean. I've never been and I'm so excited to swim with sting rays and maybe dolphins too!
I'm also throwing myself a big Hollywood themed birthday party to celebrate with my friends! And I have friends coming from both coasts!
If there is one thing I've learned this year, it's that time is precious and I love celebrating time and those I care about. I can't wait to enjoy a 5-day weekend with so many I hold dear and celebrate life and the journey that has brought me to today. Enjoy your moments! Celebrate Life! Celebrate You!
