twenty-seven

My twenty-sixth year has been a fantastic one! I actually found out the day after my birthday last year, that I got the job at Neiman Marcus! I cannot believe I have been here that long. I watched my sis graduate from Baylor and start her first year as a real life Spanish teacher!  Logan and I moved into our Lakewood duplex that we are in love with.  We celebrated our first year as Mr. and Mrs. in Boston :) My mom got happily re-married to a great guy. And our besties (that introduced us at their wedding) popped out a baby a few weeks ago.  I will look back very fondly on my twenty-sixth year! A whole lot of change happened and I feel like I grew up a lot.  My priorities shifted, I mellowed out, and started craving creativity. 

Today I turn twenty-seven. Wow! That is pretty close to 30. (what I used to consider "old" )

BUT, I have a LOT to look forward to in my twenty-seventh year.  I cannot quite tell everyone yet, but its going to be a big year of growth and challenge for me :)  I am hoping that this year, I can get back to the basics.  Enjoy the simple things in life.  Have picnics, ride a bike, read more, listen to more music and watch less TV. I want to learn French so that we can have bilingual babies someday and I want to start sewing and crafting as much as I can.  It is when I am outside doing something creative, that I feel the most alive...Therefore, I want to do that as much as I possibly can!

Thank you Lord for a year full of blessings, health, and new opportunities. I pray that I continue to grow and learn more about who I am in You this upcoming year.  

Happy "Friday" to me! (I took the day off tomorrow...just because!)
