Twenty Eight

,

Yesterday I turned 29. Eric surprised me and took some of the day off so we could spend it together. It was the best and just what I wanted. 🙂 For my favorites today, I thought it would be fun to look back on some of my very favorite (and very random) 😉 things from 28! Eric surprised me with a beach trip last year for my birthday. It was THE BEST!  I made crustless quiches on repeat…I started my 4th year of teaching with a super sweet class and resigned in August to be at home with Capri.We kept a little secret from everyone for awhile and then shared the exciting news via Christmas cards!I ate avocado toast like it was my job……and could barely drink coffee anymore. Pregnancy does straaaange things. I was gifted these earrings, which I wear all the time. We bought this rug, which I’m obsessed with. (And it’s on serious sale right now!) I really got into listening to podcasts.The day after Christmas we found out we were having a baby GIRL! We lived by this motto as we soaked in every moment. We took some time to get away…I was showered by the most generous friends and family a girl could ask for. We started (and finished) watching Parenthood. And I’m still mourning the fact that it’s over. I tried by hand at a lot of new recipes.I became a Mom. 🙂We went on date nights.I soaked up every snuggle…
…and took in every little feature…..and watched this little one grow with each passing day.We celebrated three years of marriage.
I ushered in fall with open arms..and these muffins.

28 was far too good to me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. God provided beyond belief and I am so thankful for this life. It was definitely one of my favorite years yet. Here’s to 29 and all it has in store!
