Last week was a milestone. I finally hit the big 3-0 and I'm thankful to report it doesn't have to be scary or an outright depressing day. In fact, with a little planning, it can be quite the adventure! Two days before my birthday, Kyle and I hiked into the Grand Canyon to Supai Village to take in the amazing waterfalls of Havasupai. We spent two nights in the village so that I spent my birthday morning climbing out of the Grand Canyon, completing a 3 day, 30 mile hike. It was the greatest experience of my life and I could not think of a better way to bring in a new decade. So here are 30 words that describe my feelings and goals for 30.

thankful to be here, excited for what’s next, ambitious, adventurous, happy, hugs for everyone, ready to go, try new things, be nice, confident, a little weird, smile and laugh, loved

I am however NOT looking forward to turning 31...where's the fun in that? Trust me, no one gets an awesome party when they turn 31. Do you even get cake at 31? Oh well, I have almost a whole year to prepare. Bring on the cake!
