Last Day of My 30s - Looking back on the Last 20 years

 Another decade has gone by in my life, what does that mean well I thought I would do a photo-op of my adult life for the past 20 yrs, a bit of reflection. So here I go....

My 20s

 
Oh, the college years... so many memories, fun, fun, fun & educational too (but fun)

   

Straight with my college degree I pursued a career in sustaining this lifestyle a.k.a  I was a ski bum.  However, I loved every second of it and it was a gift a freedom that I gave to myself, for a few years. 

  
Ok, it looks like a pattern of fun in my twenty's is happening here and it was.  I left Crested Butte and returned to Fort Collins,Co and worked at the AMAZING , Odell Brewing Company.  Incredible micro beers, but more importantly incredible people to work for ( and where I met my husband).

 
 

However, I was starting to see my future in my twentys and while working at the brewery I returned to school to get my teaching license in art education.

My 30s

    

Got engaged and married.  That is my husband and I our wedding was at the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, Co a perfect day!

 
My first daughter was born

 

Left Colorado after 15 joyous years and lots of great friendships and memories and moved to Wisconsin.

 
Beautiful baby #2 was born.  Two precious daughters!

 

My first job is MOM, but I always had the urge to create and make things with my hands, so my creative outlet became Pretty Pear Designs.

 

So this is where I am at now in my life.  It is a good place.  I am excited for my forties the girls are getting older and life is getting busier.  I am still in spirit the same person who took off to Colorado when I was 18.  I believe life is good, I believe that the simplest of things gives you the biggest fulfillment's.  As long as those that I love are healthy and happy then deep down I have all that I want.
