Today is my birthday! The year of my birth will not be named (can you guess?) but instead of running away from it, which won't work for long anyways, I am embracing it in full glory.
This has been a big year of change for me, and with that comes some great things that I am glad to celebrate. My personality loves the consistent, the steadfast, and routine, but this year has stretched me and molded me in my continued growth as a person. For that, I am pleased.
In this past year, I have learned to run again, and have run my longest and fastest runs.
I took my first ever Spin class (and have carried on with them) weekly, even sometimes twice a week (this is BIG for a girl who hated biking up until recently).
I have taken nearly a year off of work and have "worked" at home, providing for my family first and foremost.
I have "fasted" actual food for the first time ever for Lent... and I haven't died yet!
I moved to the biggest city I have ever lived in.
I have invested in new friendships.
I attend a church where I am the minority culture as a white person.
I have fallen in love with a new culture.
I have been married to the love of my life for 13 years.
I sent my little boys off to school and watched them grow even more into unique, independent people.
Life is always going... always changing... and it has been a great year to come along for the ride. Happy Birthday to me!
