So a lot of things have been on my mind lately. I seem to find myself asking a lot of questions, thinking of the future, thinking of the past, worrying about the economy, and crying at the drop of a hat. Yeah what is up with that?!! I seem to cry all the time theses days. Before I was married I was like a stone wall that hardly showed emotion. And then I get married (which is a miracle in itself ) and BAM! the water works start flowing. Don't ask me, I don't know why
Anyways before I get to far into this post I should warn the reader, there is not really a point to my rambling, I am just trying to release some weird pent up thoughts that have been trying to escape my head lately.
So if you find this post making no sense what so ever.... you were warned!
I mentioned to my husband a few weeks ago that 2011 would be our last year in our twenties.
It is strange to think about.
We still have another 6-7 months to go, but still, we will be 30
I embrace getting older. I am proud of the things I have accomplished up to this point in my life and look forward to doing more.
But dude, when I actally sit and think about it
I will be 30...
I will be 30???
I admit I get a little sick to my stomach
I love the temple. I can not stress this enough I LOVE THE TEMPLE! Great even as I type these words the tears are starting to flow. See people, I am a wreck.
Going there brings such peace. I have such a strong testimony of the work that goes on behind those sacred doors. It truly is a House of the Lord. I will be forever grateful for the blessing that are given to me for attending and opportunity I have to have one so close.
I love missionary work! I had the opportunity to be a full time missionary to the wonderful people of Poland, and I can assure you that not one single day goes by that I do not think of my experience there. Since returning home I have had several opportunities to continue to do missionary work, and I am grateful for each one. Currently my husband and I have a calling to do just that, we are ward missionaries, and it is just so fun! Our ward was blessed with two of the best Elders out there. Over the past few months, along with the Elders we have been meeting with a couple who have been preparing for baptism. The husband is Polish. I knew that helping the Polish people would not just end after my mission. That I was linked to them far before this life and that I will have many more opportunities yet to come to seek them out and help bring them to the fold. I can not even descried in this blog how deeply this touches my soul. It truly is a tender mercy from a loving Father in Heaven who is well aware of my needs.
I love my Husband. There came a time in my single life that I had fully expected to stay single. I was not angry or bitter at all, just a strong independent woman, capable of providing for myself, and who thought that if the opportunity never came, all would still be right with the world. Little did I know that there was one out there for me. That the Lord was just testing my patience. I still have to pinch myself sometimes to think that I found a man that loves me just for who I am, all my stubbornness, opinionated, silly, and now emotional self !! Trust me people, it truly is a miracle!
And I welcome that miracle. I am a blessed person for being the wife of Jordan Herbert.
now my emotions have really taken over so I will end. And if you made it this far into the post I applauded you, well done readers, well done.
Sometimes the posts where the writer rambles are the best.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your ramblings.
I'm a little freaked out as well about turning 30 this year. I mean, the 20's were just so freakin' amazing for me. The 30's really have a lot to live up to.
POLAND=HAPPINESS, LOVE, GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL PEOPLE....etc, etc. I will always think of that place everyday. Just got back from visiting there and it was AMAZING. My hubby actually liked POLAND the best out of the countries we visited. Bought some Inka and thought of you!
We stayed in the cutest little hotel in Krakow. It was amazing.
love you! Miss you!
How fantastic, Kjell commented also! And we'll all be 30 this fall... 20's were awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove you! Looking forward to seeing you more often after this fall.

Ok, so I just turned thirty (not just - last September, but still..) AND I love it. Thirty is awesome. Twenties were so much fun..but hitting thirty was a confidence building moment. I had met my goals that I had set for my twenties phase of life and now I get a whole new decade to accomplish more. Woot woot! Plus -you just rock at being you and will continue to rock waaay after 30!!! It must be a Whipple thing :)
ReplyDeleteI feel truly honored to be among such great women all the same age. My friends are awesome!
