Well, it sure has been a while since I’ve posted something outside of a monthly update on Emiliana. I took an unintentional break but I’M BACK and what better way to make a return to the blog than to give an update on what started this whole thing, my 30 before 30 list!
2 years ago, back when I was 25, I started Field of Emeralds as a journal to document the adventure of my 30 before 30. I recently celebrated my 27th birthday, it was a great day filled with love and laughter.
Every birthday that I celebrate is special and this year was no different. Despite the state of the world right now my birthday was made special by all the amazing people in my life. My wonderful parents in law serenaded me with a happy birthday call first thing in the morning. I got to spend the morning relaxing and playing with Emiliana. The house was decorated beautifully, covered in balloons and streamers. I was surrounded by family and it was just a wonderful day. Dylan, of course, spoiled me like he does every year, and it was so amazing to have Emiliana, she made the day that much more special.
Now for that 30 before 30 update

Once again, there is still so much left to do on my list and now there are only 3 years left! As they happen I’ll share the experiences here on the blog, and then next year on my birthday hopefully I have done, experienced, and accomplished so much more! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has followed along thus far, you are amazing!
