28

Today is my 28th birthday.

I always sit the eve of my birthday and reflect on where I was 5-7 years ago. 

21 I feel like is really the marker year to look back in think wow look how far I have come.

3 days before I turned 21 my boyfriend and I broke up. I was upset but was not going to let it ruin my birthday.
When I was 21 I was excited to have my first legal drink. I chose to rent a limo and have my family only come with me. I loved this then and even more now because I don't look back and have some ex boyfriend with me. 

We drank way to much, we danced, we laughed, we still have inside jokes from that night and it was a blast.


I remember my wish that night. When I blew the foam off my birthday beer (it's a family tradition to blow out the foam and not the candles we are weird) I wished for my happily ever after. 

I know what I thought that was in my head. 

But the vision in God's head was so much more.

Less than 2 months later I met Michael. Totally random, unexpected and wonderful all at the same time.

Flash forward to 22 and I was engaged living in my new house. 

Now at 28 I'm still madly in love with that man that God placed in my life. We have a gorgeous son who changed our lives and we are living our happily ever after.

21 is my marker to see how far I have come, but it really is a testimate to God and his plan because he knew what he was doing all along.

My wish for this year is that when I look back next year I will still be doing what I'm doing now raising my babies, spending time with family, and growing in God everyday

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
