7. Graduating from college (with both Associates and Bachelors degrees)
8. Having my work published
9. Becoming passionate about photography
10. Developing a love for cooking
11. Finally discovering what I am passionate about going to school for
12. Falling in love
13. Working and volunteering for organizations that change people's lives for the better
14. Learning how to rely on Wendel and Heavenly Father when faced with trials

How long did it take you to visit all the Church sites? Was it in one trip?

You have been busy these past few years! You've accomplished some amazing things!

Happy birthday tomorrow! Hope the 30s are as good to you as the 20s!

Thanks everyone!

Andrea, it was all in one trip. It was with Ricks college and I got credit for going on the tour. We hit many American History sites, all of the Church History sites and visited many famous authors' homes. It was an amazing experience.
