life with two sets of twins
This past week I turned 30. THIRTY. 3-0.
I think I’m still trying to process it. I vividly remember telling classmates that my own mom was 30 years old. Now here I am. Its a weird feeling. I’ve heard that the 30s are some of the best years and I believe it!!
Do you and your spouse celebrate your “date-iversary”? We don’t typically buy gifts or do anything over the top for it but we do like to acknowledge it. A “date-iversary” is the day you and your significant other started dating. Today is the day Cody and I started dating TEN YEARS AGO.
We will be celebrating our five year wedding anniversary this year too but how could we not celebrate the fact that we’ve been through 10 years of our life together!?
These are some of my favorite blog posts to write! I love reflecting on the year and creating a little highlight reel. 2019 was a good year! We had so many family getaways, Cody and I had lots of alone time and we crossed something off our bucket list. Not pictured in this blog is the intense amount of healing we through as a couple. I think if I could put a word on this year, it would definitely be healing. I hope that 2020 has more healing in store for us but also lots and lots of happiness.
Good LAWD, I can’t believe I just typed out that title. THREE!?! Their lives have flown right past me. I think that’s a common response from most parents though – the days are long but the years are short. There are no truer words!
Since I’m cheap, I like to take their milestone pictures myself. I do think I’m getting better at it as the years go on, for someone who has ZERO photography training anyways.
I packed them up and headed to a nearby park. We hiked through some wilderness and had to use a ton of bug spray to get these but it was so worth it! They were the sweetest little angels and did every pose I told them too … sike. We did end up with a few good shots though.
2018 was one of the fastest years of my life! It has also been one of the hardest for me. I’ve been through a lot of shit this year. It was hard for me to find joy in writing this post at all. I’m glad I decided to do it though because it was nice looking back on the GOOD things that actually happened. Here’s to hoping for a better 2019!
