Today is my birthday! It's strange to think that there is any birthday or holiday happening this year other than Raspberry's impending birth. But here I am, and another year has passed. It's been a joyful year and I'm feeling happy about my life.
My birthday post last year talked about how I felt that 38 would be a metamorphosis year. It was incredibly prescient considering that Phin and I had not, at that point, really talked about or decided that we wanted to be parents now. Isn't it funny how life can change in a year?
But this past year has been about more than just the road to parenthood. It's also been about friends and family, travel and fun, with a healthy dose of chocolate and other pastries. Here are some of my favorite memories...
Travel with Phin...
Watching the little ones grow...
New Friends, Old Friends, Sewing Friends - I could have filled an entire post with this...
And Raspberry...
It really is the people in our lives that make it sweet.
I'm celebrating today at home. We are moving furniture back into freshly painted rooms, I've already baked some brownies and finished a small DIY home improvement project, and we're about to head out for a late birthday lunch. A happy day.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
