Ok so I majorly failed by not finishing out the last few days of Thanksgiving and then some how missing the entire month of December. However I did so with good reason. My family was here and to spend time one the computer, no matter how short a time that is, while they were here seemed pointless. So with that I I give thanks that I didn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt and moved easily through the remainder of the year with joy
Now on to the good stuff. As always the year starts out with a bang. Mainly because I know that at the end of the month I get to celebrate another birthday. For which I am always grateful. I love birthdays. Spending time with family, friends and celebrating another year of life. This year I get to celebrate the fact that we will be welcoming another addition into our lives in July! This is something for me to stand in awe of at 33 mainly because of the difference between this pregnancy and the last. Now I would never say that my first go around was a hard one. It wasn't for the most part. I just had job that required me to sit for 8 hours a day and was constantly celebrating someones birthday thus enabling me to eat whatever, whenever. With Lily I gained almost 60 lbs. And though I did my fair share of walking and swimming and yoga it does not begin to touch the calorie burn I get teaching zumba 5 days a week. I mean wow! At this point with Lily I had gained 15 lbs already. With peanut #2 I have gained .01 of a lb according to my last doctors appt. Yay me. But I will also contribute this to not eating any processed wheat, white flour or gluten. Really makes all the difference.
So anyhow, on to my birthday. I am turning 33! Yes 33! I will have to say that I very pumped about this birthday. I get to have a ton of friends have a nice dinner with me. And then later on I get to take a little get away with my dear friend to DC! Which I am amped on since I have never been there.
Life is good. I married to an amazing man. I have a wonderful daughter. My job is great (both teaching zumba and being a mainly stay at home mom) My family both in CA and IL are some of the greatest people I know. And now this year, finally, we have been in VA long enough that I have some amazing friendships with people with whom I cannot wait to grow with more and more. So 32 thanks for being good to me. Sure feel like my 30s are doing me better than my 20s did!
