Just trying to live our best life: 2014

Taking a minute to reflect on the year 2013. Let's see I got pregnant in March so I was pretty much pregnant for most of 2013 giving birth in November. But I must say it was still an awesome year.

Even though I wasn't the biggest fan of being pregnant I would absolutely do it all over again. The reward you get in the end is so beyond amazing, it makes all your suffering so worth it. (And I may be just a little dramatic by saying suffering but whatever.)

I also celebrated 1 year of marriage in May. I honestly don't know what I would do without my husband. He completes me, he is my best friend. Like every other couple we may bicker, but I can't see going on this crazy journey with anyone but him. Having Penelope here has made me see him in a whole new light. He is so in love with her and that makes me even more in love with him.

This past year I got to see my cousin Dale get married to his beautiful wife, I even got to be a part of the wedding. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful event. My other cousin Serena also got married, along with our friends Chris & Laura, and Caitlyn & Dan, all beautiful weddings!

I also lost some people too and although they are gone, I know they're watching over us.

I've met many new people and reconnected with some old friends. I am super happy that I have some new mommy friends. I am looking forward to many play dates!

There's been so much that has happened in 2013 and even though I may not have loved every minute of it, like always it has helped me grow and shaped me into the person I am today. I am always learning and trying to grow, so I am excited to see what 2014 will bring my family and I.

This year I get to see my cousins Liz, Lauren, Susan and Brent get married. I also get to see my best friend get married, and I get to stand up there by her side while she does so. I am so excited for 2014. In 2014 we will watch Penelope grow, and do so many new things. I am beyond excited to watch her journey, I can't wait to see the type of person she will become.

My year in review:
