21

Woohoo! It may seem a little peculiar, but the best thing about 21 was all of the busyness of my senior year of college. Traveling with the speech team. Taking 22 credit hours. Planning my someday classroom. Observing in the laboratory/preschool on campus. Going to kickboxing. Sometimes...busy is good.

21 days to go!

And, I just had my 100th blog post!

A Bit Behind

Let's get caught up, shall we?

25 Days: The best thing about 25 was, of course, meeting Jose. Who knew that a few marginally awkward emails, several laugh-inducing phone calls and a lengthy dinner at Piscos would lead to such a happy life? I had several people tell me that they met their husbands at 25 and that 25 is just a good age. It was!

24 Days: The best thing about 24 was going to Kenya...not the camera getting stolen, sitting in the police station part, but the walking with giraffes, meeting beautiful people, and singing with the children part. And, it was a dream come true.

23 Days: The best thing about 23 was the act of moving to Denver. Even though my mom and I almost ran out of gas in Kansas and Ike peed all over the floor in that bed and breakfast downtown (I can still see that guilty look on his face!), I felt like I was stepping straight into an adventure.

22 Days: The best thing about 22 was Court and Ryan's wedding. Come one, remember how good it was. The dress. That huge tent in the backyard. The rain. And, how it stopped. Dancing late into the night. So good.

Phew.

And, a little Griff for good measure.

Happy 4th of July!

It was a bit of a drag for Griffin's first Fourth of July. It's cold and rainy. We couldn't even grill. But, Griff still ate well!

And...26 days...the best thing about 26 was Jose and my beautiful wedding in Rosemary Beach. We just had our 2 year anniversary. Hooray!

27 Days

The best thing about being 27 was coming home from work every day to my husband!

And, I think I need a pedicure.

28 Days...

The best thing about 28 was, of course, December 3. We love this sweet boy so very much. Griff can bring a tear to Jose's eye, make me smile in the middle of the night, and, I'm sure, can win Ike over.

It's July, Everybody!

I do love summer! I know so many people treasure spring...but, oh, summer! I love it.

29 days until I turn 29. Where did 28 go? I feel like I just got comfortable saying that I'm 28. Ask Jose. He doesn't know that I'm 28. He still thinks that I'm 25. Well, I'm going to do a little countdown to 29. Why? Why not?!

So...29 days to go. Another page turns...

I think that one of the best things about 29 will be all of the milestones that I'll witness in Griff's life.
