Jessica's 30th Birthday

I didn't know when I turned 30 I would have a husband and two boys and live in the Philippines! Those are the fun papers you write in elementary school "In 20 years I will be..."
Nate took me to "Coco's" and we had New York Stake and Pineapple Shakes.

Taking our little lad on the birthday date.

Two days later my friends helped me celebrate. Here is Rachel and I with our two little second-born sons. Buddies!

We went out for coffee--a fun treat for moms with little ones. Composed of my friends--Jeralyn (Canadian), Rachel (American), and Louise (Irish). Fun to have such international friends. They each gave me 10 of their favorite verses written on 4 X 6 cards so I have 30 verses--one for each day of the month for a year. I hope to memorize them this year.

Thank you, Lord, for 30 wonderful years, for a loving husband, two sweet boys and great friends! (Of course thank you for my family and my own parents who raised me! Now I know what the birthday is for--to thank your mom for giving birth!)

Trying to find a new facebook profile picture. Let's see....my last one was on my 28th birthday, so it is time for an update.

A true "profile" pic.

Serious...contemplative...

or fun and silly? What should I choose?

Just a plain portrait? (Malachi is in the black and white sling by the way--his cocoon)
