One year older

I had a birthday! It was the best birthday I've ever had, no contest! And when I say that maybe people expect that we had a big party or I got a really great present. But no, none of that happened. From the moment I woke up to the moment I fell asleep, I was just feeling so so grateful and happy and blessed - my life is incredibly good!

It started out with an early morning trip to the gym with Hannah (we usually go early morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays), where I had a great run, albeit on a treadmill. When I came in the door, I heard the song "Celebrate" playing, streamers and signs around the room, and my adorable husband dancing with our baby in the kitchen, both in their pajamas. It was just the most perfect scene, I loved it!

Tom traced Ian's hands, how cute is that?!

Tom made a delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he is the master chef! All day I was spoiled with texts and calls from people I love so much. And I got to pick out some equipment to start learning to hand embroider! I am way excited about that, I just am making myself finish a blanket I started crocheting a long time ago first. When Ian went to bed, Tom and I had treats and a movie in bed. It was perfect :)

22 was a really good year - I graduated college, had a baby, and so much more but nothing sounds quite as grand when you preface it with "had a baby". But as wonderful as 22 was, I am so so excited for the adventures that await while I'm 23!
