I’m not really sure how we got here, but today I’m beyond blessed to celebrate another trip around the sun. Birthdays are always a weird mix of emotions for me….it’s a time to be celebrated and also a time of reflection. It’s a time to evaluate your life, happiness, and goals. Every year as August comes barreling back around, I find myself doing a lot of reflecting.

Instead of boring you all with some motivational speech, I figured I would share a few random things about myself that you may not know! 🙂

1. I’m sort of an only child. My half sister, Alivia, and I are 17 years apart! I spent my entire childhood as an only child!

2. I hate the sound of my own voice. lol. Probably why I RARELY do videos on social media!

3. My dream vacation spot is Ireland. I have no idea why I am so infatuated with it, but dream is an understatement! The scenery, the culture, the castles, the people.

4. I booked one of my bucket list venues as a wedding photographer for next August!

5. I’m insanely proud of myself for overcoming the obstacles in my life and being where I am today. Self love is SO important and I will forever rally for that.

6. My two children are 2 weeks shy of being exactly 2 years apart. 2 babies in 2 years IS A LOT OF WORK lol

7. I’m a very cheap person and try to live below my means, but I will forever pay asking price and tip my servers.

8. I still sleep with my childhood blanket that I have had since I was an infant! It’s a crocheted blanket and it’s barely hangin on! haha. My mom had two replicas made for both my children when they were born, I may have to steal one of theirs when mine wittlles away!

9. 33 is my favorite number, which means this coming year and the year after that I have a feeling are going to be some of the best (and most successful) years of my life. I absolutely cannot wait to see where life takes me!
