It’s official – I’ve entered my 30’s & I’m kind of excited about it. The 30’s look pretty fun. But I’m not going to lie – my 20’s have been pretty awesome. Here’s a re-cap of life for ME in the 20’s [not in any particular order.]
- College at BYU -a fabulous four years.
- Married Wes and then enjoyed four years with just US.
- Coached 1 season of high school volleyball with my HS volleyball coach.
- Got to experience two miracle pregnancies & two births. Amazing experiences both times.
- Began to appreciate all things cowboy – including rodeos, PBR & cowboy boots.
- Started my first “real job” at an ad agency in Salt Lake. I still miss that place. It was the best.
- Traveled ALOT including a Study Abroad in London & visits to England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Hawaii x 4, New York x 3, Disneyland, beach houses, the cabin, Phoenix, lake trips, Salt Lake, etc.
- Traveled to see Wes’ family in Georgia, Alabama, New Mexico, Texas & Idaho.
- Made it to two tennis Grand Slam tournaments: Wimbledon & US Open.
- Owned 3 houses.
- Enjoyed being a mama.
- Visited friends & family all over the country – it’s been fun staying in touch with such wonderful people.
- Church callings: 7 years in Young Womens and 1 in primary!
- Started a little vinyl company with Sam & my mom that we ended up shutting down. :)
- Worked at Marz & Company with my dad [still do]. It’s been a pretty neat experience to work with/for him. Quality time with my dad I’ll always cherish.
- Enjoyed the happy times and am grateful for the trials and struggles.
- and met some pretty amazing people along the way.
30’s: you have a lot to live up to!

I try to keep an updated journal about ME and my life but lately my other roles and duties have made my journal-keeping non-existent. So while this is cheesy – maybe my boys will someday want to read all about their mom when she was THIRTY.
So, here we go: [I just noticed Wes added a few!]
. I could eat a taco every day of my life.
. I love bookstores. I could spend hours and hours there just roaming around.
. I’m a stay-at-home working mom. It’s a challenge right now but I still enjoy working most-of-the-time.
. I’m attempting to keep my yard alive and pretty. A garden is next on the horizon.
. I love to decorate. Maybe one day I’ll have the time to actually do it.
. I’m obsessed with the color blue.
. Icecream is a staple.
. I love to travel around visiting places & people.
. I put others ahead of my own needs. [that’s nice, Wes]
. I love to read…I could read all day long and still want to read more.
. I love a good challenge.
. Fountain drinks are a must.
. I love to organize & be organized. I wish it happened more often.
. I am easily distracted.
. One of my favorite things is still to plop on a raft in the pool and relax.
. I don’t cook very often. Maybe in my 30’s?
. I love the three boys in my life & feel soooo lucky they are mine.
. I somehow get to live within 5 minutes of BOTH of my sisters. I know it won’t last forever but I’m grateful it’s happening at all.
. I wish we could see Wes’ family more often. Because they’re pretty awesome, too.
. I’ve got eczema and it’s not fun.
. I love going to dinner and a movie.
THANK YOU for all of the birthday wishes and lots of celebrations. It was fun!
