29!


On Saturday, I turned 29. 29!

I can hardly believe it. And yet, something about turning 29 feels pretty fantastic. In fact I snapped this pic of myself, while walking by this mirror to let Lincoln inside, because I noticed I just seemed so darn happy. We were home alone enjoying a very low key day, with nothing out of the ordinary planned to  celebrate my birthday (given the transitions we're going through...planning get togethers to celebrate birthdays are waiting until we have a little more time on our hands). I'm typically super bashful about taking pictures of myself. Of just myself. But I said to myself, stop. Take a picture. You're so happy and so content right now. Remember this moment. 

In light of how unusual our life is right now, feeling this content is a pretty big deal for me. Maybe I'm learning, truly learning, that with my family and friends as steady as ever, the external components that make up my normal can be doing backflips and I can still feel firmly planted, secure and content. I hope so. I hope 29 is the season I learn to wholeheartedly practice those concepts that, up until now, were heartfelt intentions. And from where I stand, I feel like I couldn't be in a better space to make that my reality. Feeling grateful and excited for what this year holds!
