Today is my birthday. According to my kids I am 32 years old now. I think I stopped counting at around 25 but for some reason my kids keep track and remind me every year of how old I really am. Actually, I'm not too bothered by my increasing age. So far I am enjoying my thirties much more than my twenties. With my kids being older I have less stress and more fun in my life. I just recently realized that I can now begin to focus on some personal goals of my own (something I kind of put aside when the kids were little). Here are some of the things I am planning for my thirty second year of life:
1) This year I will finally get around to taking a photography class or two. I've talked about it long enough. It's time to actually do it.
2) Working on this blog has reminded me how much I used to love to write. I've been thinking that this year I might try to write some articles to submit to either Ensign magazine or a parenting magazine. I don't know that I have what it takes to get them published but I will be just as happy that I tried.
3) I really want to focus more on healthy living. I want to eat healthy and exercise regularly. Not because I want to show off a great body but because I want this body to last me a long time. There are a lot of things I want to do later in life and I really don't want those things limited by bad health.
4) I am really looking forward to the end of July. That is when I will get to spend 4 days in San Antonio, Texas with my 5 buddies from high school (Rachel, Jodi, Mandy, Leah and Thorey). I believe there is a feeling among us that we are kindred spirits and that we will always belong to each other. We are now spread out through four different states but our hearts are always with each other. It will be a blast to all be in to same place at once!
I think thirty two is going to be great. Here's to another year!

Happy Birthday Kasey! Those are all such great goals and I'm confident you can achieve them all. I was thinking that I'd like to do some free lance writing as well, but I don't have the slightest idea where to start (or where I'll find the time!). But, let me know if you figure out how to submit an entry.
You're a great photographer and I think one of these days you should open up your own photography business. Some of our best wedding pictures were taken by you. Maybe you could do that on the side a little bit? Wait, did you ever find a job? You wrote a post awhile back on finding a small part-time job, but then I never heard anything back.
Anyway, I hope you had a great day today. What did you do? Happy 32!
Happy Birthday! I was thinking about you yesterday! Hey, we're the same age again! For another nine months anyway!
Your goals sound so exciting! I have faith you won't have any problems getting published-you're an amazing writer! Don't forget me when you become famous!
Healthy living is a good idea. I'm working on the same thing. Like you said, not so much to show off a drop dead body but so this body doesn't drop dead!
What's going on in Texas? Generalized meeting point or special event? Are you planning any visits here this summer? We need to do our annual Glen Ivy trip! Let me know so I can make sure I have some time off and hopefully you don't plan to visit during one of our river trips! That would not be good!
Good luck with the photography classes! I keep thinking about going back to school for my BSN, but dread the studying, testing, reports, etc.! Its different though when you're taking classes for something you have a true passion and talent for. Not that I don't enjoy what I do, but you know what I mean! No stress!!!
Again, Happy 32nd! You're going to have a great year!
