strange to think about....

so I thought that because I had turned 30, I was no longer going to be called young one or youngin or young lady. I thought perhaps I had reached the age where that goes away. Not so. But it's ok. Cause I still like being young.
The funnest part of my life these days consists of normalcy. I had to get through a tough little spell where I was convinced that lifes adventures had gone away, but I know that there is so much to be lived in the day to day and like I said I just needed to get through it. And so I'm over it.
And in a place where my day to day is beautiful. I think it was a move towards more balance in my life. Cause that is how it feels. Like, I am doing things that I never would have before or if I would have it would have taken me longer to do so. Like for instance...
My boyfriend basically told me something that normally would have made me jump up and down for like 12 minutes and get all crazy, but I remained totally cool and it was like, yeah, this is right. NOT this is AMAZING! I don't know it just felt more mature. Not that I am losing any of my fun Kristen side. That will never go away, but it was a sign to me that I am a grown up in very cool ways. ANd I know that to most people that won't make much sense but to me, it meant something. I also have found just a whole lot of balance in my yes's and no's and boundaries. It is truely a blessing to sit back and see the work the Lord has done in ones life. Especially with others, but a whole other side when it's your own self and soul. INCREDIBLE!

Speaking of my boyfriend Tyler: I pondered the other day if you all know anything about him. Have I ever posted about just him? SO, I went back and looked. I want those of you who read this to know the man I love so deeply and until I can get him to Chicago with me, that's literally impossible. SO I am going to spend a couple of blogs posting about he and I.

OH Yeah AND 1 more thing
This Sunday is Opening day for deer and Elk rifle. I am so excited I cannot even tell you. I will hopefully be shooting my first deer. I have a doe tag(B), a buck tag(A), and an bull elk tag. The funnest part about it all is that my insides are so excited. I never knew I would like this hobbie. I will post more soon. After my first kill and hopefully have pictures.
