All summer I planned to do a post on my birthday with some profound reflections. Here is what I came up with:Today, for the first time, I'm closer to my 50th birthday than any other decade... scary!
That was too deep. I know, right?
Instead of profound, I'm just grateful! I have been blessed with family and friends and that means more to me than anything in the world. I'm thankful to my Savior for love, salvation, and peace of mind. As I watched the news today (I don't do that often) I was saddened by the suffering of the people affected by the storm. So tonight, as I snuggle with my kids and watch a movie, I'll be thinking of them and praying for them.
I'm leaving you with some more pictures taken 46 years ago!
Thank you to everyone who sent me a card or posted on my Facebook wall, or a comment on this blog, or sent an email. I'll take pictures of the cards as soon as I have a minute.
Be blessed! Jacki

Happy Birthday to you!!! Hope it is a great day. Love the photos! Yep, Jason said today, when changing a lightbulb for a 7-year guaranteed bulb, "We'll be close to 50 when we next need to change that bulb" GULP! Could that possibly be true?
Well, I don't think I got your card out in time - I'm nothin' if not behind these days! I am thinking of you and slightly sad that we didn't get to have our Olive Garden celebration in person this year - how about next year???

Well, I missed this yesterday, so happy belated birthday! I hope it was grand. And I hope this next year is a healthy, happy and creative one!
What a beautiful baby! And in her kindergarten picture she looks just like her Mama. She looks like a real joy-bringer.
