58 and counting....

Well, I have been on this earth for 58 years. I have had a blessed life.  I have been blessed with growing up in a big, loving family.  I had parents who loved me and brought me up to love the Lord and his church.  I have wonderful memories of a myriad of cousins, playing outside on Daddy's scaffold and the swings, eating watermelon on warm summer nights, catching lightening bugs by the jarful, fireworks in the front yard, going to Spring Lake and Frontier City, riding bikes, and so many more things that made life fun. 
I have also been blessed with a great husband, two beautiful daughters, the two best sons-in-law in the world, and 5 (almost 6) grandchildren who fill my life with happiness and joy.
My church family is also so very important to me an enriches my life every single day!!
I have friends that I have known for many, many years and they fill my life with love.
I have been able to travel and have wonderful adventures.  I have been on both coasts, seen 40 of the 50 states, been on a cruise, been to Germany and Italy, and have a trip to Africa planned for this year.  There are still places to see on my bucket list so maybe there are more adventures in the future.
If I were to die tomorrow, I would meet my Savior with a heart that is filled to overflowing with joy, happiness, love, and peace.
Thank you to all my family and friends that fill my life.  I look forward to the next 58 (?) years!!!!!
