life with two sets of twins
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.
Hi guys! Wow.. we did it! We completed our goal of going on a date EVERY single month this year. I cannot believe that it has already been 12 months, but here we are. I forgot to write a blog post for our November date so I’m going to combine these two months.
This month’s “dating my husband” post is pretty special because it wasn’t just a date, it was a TRIP! We decided to cross something off our bucket list and go to Salem, MA in October. If you have never heard of Salem… it is known for its thick history of witches and magic. This is where The Witch Trials took place in 1692 and more recently… where the movie Hocus Pocus was filmed. We planned this trip back in March and I was so excited it was finally time to go!
As many of you already know, or if you’re seeing my blog for the first time… 2018 was a really shit year for me. I struggled with my mental health and towards the end of the year, I found something out that was a HUGE life changing moment for me. Since that moment on Sept 18th, 2018 at 9:30 in the morning (Yep. I know the time because its so engraved in my mind) I have struggled with PTSD in a major way. As time moves forward, it gets easier but it’s still such an ever present force in my life that I deal with EVERY DAY.
You guys have NO idea how excited I was for this date. I realize that I probably sound obsessed (proud groupie over here 😉 ) but NF has gotten me through the worst year of my entire life. It’s actually funny that almost EXACTLY a year ago, my life was flipped upside down and last night I was seeing the person who helped me through it.
Do I sound crazy yet?
FYI – music can actually be really therapeutic!
