hello thirty
posted by codi bennett , Jun 21, 2011
june 21 1981 - i was born at st peter’s hospital in helena, mt to chuck + tammi gates. i am the oldest of their 3 children, and the only girl. i don’t have my baby book in front of me to look back on, but i recollect from thumbing through it i began walking around 10months and, according to my mother, i am in appearance exactly like my firstborn [londyn aleise] and in personality much like our second born [corban jamison]. i have a love for life and can really only call to mind sparse moments in which i didn’t. i remember coming to know jesus in my closet at 1823 garrison after a broken time of child-like prayer. i love to dance. i love to sing. my husband prefers me not to attempt the latter. my love language is gift giving and i’m unfortunately better at receiving than i am at giving. what a thrill to look back on 3 decades in this world and grasp what the lord has done in my life and the grace he has had on me. jesus, i am so grateful. i have a stunningly handsome husband, 3 joyous children, health, and a home filled with laughter. i can confidently say i am growing in wisdom with each passing day and all the while an understanding of how incapable i am of anything good without my god.
