In my 33 years, every year has been amazing.....really, some have been harder than others. That is life. But I choose (usually) to focus on the best parts of it. Here we go. PS: You dont have to read this. Its more for me than anything, since FB never forgets. And I would tag evereyone I ever knew but I would miss dinner. Year 1. I was born to great parents Stacey Morgan Kibler and Ted Kibler. 2. I learned to eat chicken. Pictures prove it. 3. My brother was born Brad Kibler(as was the discovery of the penis.) 4. Pretty sure we moved to Foresthill. 5. I learned about Jesus and that he could live in my heart and guide me 6. I met my Foursquare church family and Jaylina Bennett longest friend ever! Where I would be raised with love. My sister was bornShannon Sarantopoulos 7. Riding bikes and the biggest snow storm every where dad build us an igloo that was as tall as the house. 8. Riding to work with my dad at 4am in the morning and sleeping on grandpa Stans couch until school. He was the principle, grandma the secretary. I drove home with dad every day and we would often 4x4 on side roads on the way home to Foresthill. 9. I learned who the Holy Spirit was and how to listen for his leading. Deborah Gerics Donovan was the best 2nd mom ever. 10. Camping. 11. Moved to Applegate. My home sweet home till I was 25. 12. Jump Rope 4 Heart - hardest year of my young life for me 6th grade proved to be grueling, mean and full of loneliness. But hey, I learned to jump rope. And I met some cool friends on the buss like Robert and Kyle. Whom 7 years later I would work with his sister KJ Frank. So cool. Parents drove us through 9 states and ended it with a camping trip with our church family. That was the coolest. 13. My first trip to Mexico with our church, skits in the park, eating REAL Mexican food and speaking Spanish...incredible as a kid. Driving to camp, Old Oak Ranch in the back of Jane Hoegger and Dans truck. Back when that was legal. Met Tammi Gyori, became the babysitter. Deanna Nicole is born and moves in with her mama. 14. Started high-school and Rachel and Diana Fast BFF year was super crazy and fun. Walking to parks and staying up late and (Remember when we could walk all the way across the freeway safely to Rachels house). Mariah Carey singing contest...Josh Manzer moves in. HAHA, hours of Titanic reenactments with Brad and signing Moulin Rouge! 15. My first big dance. Mike Foutch. Marisa Bean saving my butt daily. Standing up for me. Another grueling year of my life. She got me through it. Oh, and at Christmas I had my permit and was driving my ENTIRE family and grandparents in our 12 passenger van to deliver a pie to our pastor...and got pulled over by a cop. Oh yeah. Wearing a santa hat. That was the worst. But so SO funny when he looked inside and saw the situation. I ran a red light. He let me go. 16. Drivers License ON my birthday. Then mom let me drive my sister all the way back to Old Oak Ranch to camp where i was a counselor for her kids camp. 82 Red Mustang. So cool. Kinda. Missions trip to Romania. Vampira.

And her surviving and being born the day before Thanksgiving. I was so thankful. And then we moved to Colorado. Elaine Waterman was the only thing that kept me from feeling lonely. Crystal Lipsey Ingram and Stephanie Black Elston and Kimber Lee Apodaca became familiar and I was not so homesick anymore. 28. Baby Stella. My dream of homebirth came true. I thank Jessica Ondra for that. Telling me I could and I should. And Barbie Burrage for being incredible in a time of need, physically and emotionally. 29. Baby Adele is born. Daddy gets laid off. I work a lame job. Where God brings incredible people like Angie and Carmen into my life and so through that find our homeschooling community and family...thats another big list of blessings.
