My birthday (26th) was yesterday, and I've spent the past few days reflecting on that and how thankful I am for the past 5 years. I have been given innumerable blessings, but I just wanted to share particular ways the Lord has been exceedingly kind to me. These were the game-changers. AND I would love to read about the highlights of your past 5 years!

21: Studied abroad in Barcelona. It was the semester abroad that almost didn't happen, but I'm so glad it did. Not only was it really fun, but I learned SO much about myself. That time built up my confidence. This is also the year DH and I were engaged... Obviously a life-changer.

22: I graduated college, got married, and moved to DC all in 3 weeks. Hectic, but wonderful.

23: After a lengthy unpaid internship, I landed my first real job. Working in the Senate was quite the experience, but I met so many wonderful people and had such great experiences. Not everyone on Capitol Hill is crooked

24: DH and I were able to buy our first home! It was extra exciting because we also had a baby on the way! Sadly, we miscarried, but even in that time the Lord was kind. DH and I grew a TON while going through that. And, not long after, we found out LO would arrive in May.

25: LO was born! I don't think I need to describe how incredible it us to be a mom. You all know very well
