Thirty One
Woke up this morning one year older than I was yesterday. And truth be told I’m very grateful for another year since birthdays should be celebrated because not everyone is blessed with another birthday. Life is precious and should be celebrated well. But thirty one feels a bit unremarkable compared to thirty. Now, I’m officially “in my thirties,” and no longer just thirty.
I wanted to reflect on thirty and all the exciting things that have happened over the last year and share my hopes for thirty one.

Hopes for Thirty One
This coming year of life will be full of lots of changes since this will be Brian’s last season as a Graduate Assistant with Ohio football. He’ll be settling into a new job and we could or could not move. Moving is a huge change. I hope for grace and calm during the possible changes that could occur this year. Big changes have can bring up feelings of anxiety or stress, but I want to stay focused on the adventure and how lucky I am to have new experiences.
I’ve been fortunate enough to travel a ton to see family, celebrate friends and their love, cheer on Ohio football and celebrate mine and Brian’s one year anniversary this past year. For thirty one, I hope to continue my fortune of fun travel. There is something about being in an airport either anticipating a fun trip or excited to get home to our pup that gives me warm fuzzies. I love exploring new places and food and spending time with the ones I love.
For Just X’s And O’s, I hope to see my little piece of the internet and social media grow and flourish. And I hope to carve our more and more time to commit to growing it. The last six months have been fun and crazy and stressful, but worth it to make this seven year dream come true.
Overall, my hope for thirty one is pretty cliché - I hope for happiness, health, and love. I hope for to be blessed with more memories with the ones I love, that this year is better than the last and for gratitude for this life I am so fortunate to be blessed with.
Thanks for supporting me through this journey!
Xx,
Linds
