I love Jesus, my family, and people everywhere. I'm journeying with my incredible Pastor-hubby, and our 6 amazing(and wonderfully exhausting) kids! We don't just ride on the "hot mess express," we live on the "hot mess express." Anyone is welcome to ride along with us, but just a heads up, it can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Some days are wonderful, and some days are terrible, but I really just want to see Jesus every hour of every day. I know there are people who can relate, so join me?

My "39" bucket list
I'm pretty sure that all of my friends who helped me create my bucket list have been waiting with baited breath for the finished product. After a month of planning, dreaming, and narrowing it down, I finally have my list. Just kidding! May has just been really busy, crazy, hard, and did I mention busy? So, I wanted to put my list on a blog as a way to hold myself accountable to actually completing it. I am really excited about the adventures that are ahead of me and I am really ready to enjoy my last year in my 30's. Writing this list has already challenged me. I am nervous about starting this list because I want to follow through on all of these things perfectly. I'm an "all or nothing" kind of girl and sometimes when I think I am not going to do something 100%, then I don't do it at all. If anyone is reading this, will you hold me accountable to this list? Also, would you ask me if I am having fun being 39? (because that is the goal!)
