I've officially entered my last month of my 20's. At times it seems like my teenaged years were so long ago, and at times it's hard to believe that I'm stepping into a new decade.
My 20's were incredibly FULL and I went through many significant life changes. To list a few:
- Did my DTS with YWAM in Australia for 6 months, including a few weeks in New Zealand
- Became an Auntie... a role that continues to grow :)
- Completed a 2 year diploma program at Douglas College in Therapeutic Recreation
- Met, dated, got engaged to and married Josh (all in about 16 months)
- Bought our first place (condo) and our second (house)
- Lost our first baby in early miscarriage
- Had the most beautiful baby girl, Kenzie Diana
- Am currently pregnant with our next little blessing! (Due Feb 7th so I'll be 30!)
During these years I met many incredible people - some who came into my life for a short time and some who have become friends for life. Other relationships I carried over from teenage years and value them more than ever as life ebbs and flows. I don't think I could learn more than I do through relationships and even the ones that hurt... there's much to be thankful for.
Other highlights from my 20's... I was in numerous (7) wedding parties, welcomed 10 nephews and one niece plus many more babies that friend's have had, and have gone through peaks and valleys in my walk with God - never being more thankful for His faithfulness and steadfast presence in my life. Josh and I have endured many changes in employment and that's something I really hope settles down from here on in!
Thinking back, I don't think I'll ever go through another decade with as many huge life changes as I did in my 20's. In some ways, I'll miss the craziness... in others, I look forward to life becoming more stable and consistent. Or is that just a dream? :)
How about you? What are the highlights of your past 10 years?

Wow, what a great post Laura! And I'm so excited for you for baby #2! I've found having two much easier and SOO much fun!!
I can't believe I have known you for ten years!!! So crazy, but I agree I am looking forward to some peace and routine in my thirties:)
30's are fun. You'll still have change but it won't come as quickly. Not that I've been in my 30's for that long, but the pressures of your 20's aren't as important anymore, I've found. I feel more and more free to be me and not worry about what people think. It's quite a great feeling!
I'm in the last year of my 20s as well and I'm finding it odd. It makes me feel old to say I started college 10 years ago! But also blessed to know I married my soul mate and created our family in my 20s, too, as I always imagined. :) In the past 10 years, I was baptized and grew in my faith, attended Bible college, got a diploma from Langara, got married, had babies, had MANY jobs, travelled to Germany and France in a life-changing trip, moved to Manitoba and became a military wife, among other things! If this is just our 20s, imagine what the rest of our life holds! Enjoy, Laura. The best is yet to come. :)
What a great decade you had Laura :) The next one will be even more overflowing with blessing!!
