Every year on my birthday I try to take at least a minute to reflect on what has happened throughout that year. This year it was overwhelming: got pregnant, fixed up house, 40 showings in 6 weeks, sold house, lived with in laws for 6 months, 8 ear infections in 6 weeks for 1 child, bought new house, 2 months of delays in closing, had a baby, fixed up another house, moved in, dealt with post partum anxiety...phew...throw in a few trips to Colorado and Florida as well as plenty of learning how to raise 1-2 children and you got yourself a crazy year! But one I would not trade for the world! I have re-learned how to FULLY rely on God as He has reminded me constantly to "consider it pure joy" and "this to shall pass." I can honestly say I do not know where I would be without my God. Thanks also to all of you for your prayers, friendship, and encouragement...Nic and I are blessed to have some of the greatest friends and family in the world!
I turned 25 on August 17th. It was a great birthday! Some of my favorite people...all day long! Thank you to Cara for all of her planning efforts. You are the best!
This was my favorite present...
Here it is up close! Cara and Becky helped the girls make this frame. Jac actually picked out all the flowers and the rocks. Isn't it precious?
A few days later all the girls went out to celebrate my birthday, as well as Lisa's. She turned the big 3-0! Way to go Lisa! The night began at Stir Crazy and then we headed to Lulu's...good times, good times!
Birthday girls!
On Friday night, we went to the horse track with some family to celebrate Lisa's birthday. It was really fun! Oh and all the brothers showed up wearing the same color and style of shirt...weird!
Until next year...I guess I am 25. Although when everyone expects me to remember exactly how many MONTHS both of my children are, I hardly can remember how many YEARS I am! Oh well...does it really matter?!
