Another year older and wiser too!

So a week ago, I turned 30.. Something I had been dreading for a while, but I must say it's not as bad as I thought.. Or maybe I just came to terms with the fact that I'm getting older, and that it's ok not to have everything figured out. When I was in the 4th grade we had to write a few paragraphs about what age we would like to be and why.. I remember choosing 30, while everyone else chose 16, 18 or 21.. I had it in my head that by 30 people had everything figured out and life was perfect. Well I'm now 30 I don't have it all figured out and it's far from perfect but it is pretty darn good.. I may not of accomplished a whole lot according to the worlds standards but I feel like I'm quite accomplished. I'm excited to stumble upon some new adventures.

So on my birthday a few friends came over and made it a very memorable day. I got sung to in many different languages. And during one song someone beat on the table while someone else cried in the back ground, still confused by that. No birthday is complete without New Kids on the Block and juggeling oranges.. Then this past Saturday I went to a concert with my Gram, Aunt Linda and Uncle Mike, we went and saw Bob Seger.. I was one of the youngest people there, it was a pretty good time. Gram was jam-min out! And Bob he still has some good moves for an older fella..

Working up to my birthday I decided that the day after I would begin a lifestyle change.. So I started a raw food fast. You eat nothing but raw fruits and veggies for 2 weeks. I am now faithfully on day 6, I feel great, I have tons of energy and have already lost 12lbs. Which is not a big deal think it was mainly water weight but still I'm proud of myself. I went to the gym for the first time today, I did alright, I never want to go but once I get there I do semi enjoy it. My goal after the fast is to ease back into cooking veggies and eating chicken and fish.. I want to be a healthier person, I want to try my best. A few weeks ago I looked over the past few years and saw how many things Heavenly Father has delivered me through and how many weakness's He's helped me squash, so I felt empowered and I felt Him with me and at that point knew it was time to over come another weakness. Tonight when I was working out I thought about how come I hadn't over come my weight and health before, why had I not tried hard enough.. I came to the conclusion once again that His timing is best, if we had things how we wanted them and when we wanted them I think the likely hood of us taking them for granted and neglecting them are far greater. But if we wait on Him, if we align our will with His, I think we will find much more then we hoped too...
