A New Decade
Today is my 30th birthday, actually yesterday was. It is now after midnight.
Anyway, I have a new motto for my 30's, wanna hear it?
First, let me tell you what my 20's were all about: Stressing, Studying, gestating, laboring, scrimping, saving, budgeting, nursing, moving, changing, smiling, learning, dancing, juggling, crying, praying, and singing. These are just a few words that come to mind. I have learned a lot. I have made major life decisions, I have made major career moves. I have borne and begun to raise three beautiful boys with my husband. I have struggled in marriage, and relished in the success of hard work and how it makes us happier as a couple When I think back 10 years I am stunned at how quickly it has gone, but so happy for the experiences that I have been given. This was a great decade!
I am so excited about my 30's though because there are so many new things to experience. My motto for my 30's is going to be Don't worry, be happy. Bobby McFarrin knew what he was talking about people! I do far too much worrying, have done far too much worrying. I am through with that and am moving onward and upward to better things. Worrying is so pointless anyway, I have Faith in my Heavenly Father and his love for me. I know that he wants me to be happy, and for the record I want to be happy too. I have learned that I am happiest when I turn things over to him and do as he asks. SO....
Don't worry, be happy.
I'll bet you thought it was going to be something like work hard right?

Christmas 2010
In the Jacobs Family we have the tradition of making Christmas hats for each other rather than giving gifts. The hats are always creative, usually funny, and represent the person wearing it in some way. I am not going to explain them all to you 'cause I'm lazy. Use your imagination to figure out what they mean, if you know any of us it won't be hard!
We hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are looking forward to 2011 and all that it promises, thanks for reading!
