One more year

Yep. Another year older and little bit wiser. I guess I can say that. Twenty-six was very much a learning year. So much happened in that one year. I know twenty-seven will be the same. I do love the bad and good that comes with life. It keeps you human. It keeps you humble. It keeps you patient. It keeps you faithful. It shows you love. It. Yes, it. IT came in many forms during my reign as a twenty-six year old single woman: The death of a grandfather. The end of some relationships. The birth of a nephew. The beginning of new relationships. The death of my best buddy, Tucker. The trials of a sister's sickness. The promotions of a job. The move from Clinton to Ridgeland. The marriage of a best friend. The engagement of another. The bad moments that made me stronger. The good moments that make me laugh. Whatever IT is, happens. There is no stopping it.

I can honestly say that the age of twenty-six was one crazy year I will never forget. Not all decisions were the best. Not all moments were good. But it made me better. I'll never forget twenty-six. That is a promise. But oh how beautiful, I'm blessed with another year. Another year to make a different and be better. Another year to gather more wrinkles in my brain.

The new puppy is-well he is a puppy. 110% puppy. His name is Miller. He is named after Donald Miller who is a cool author. Check him out. His reads are amazing. Most should enjoy them.

I leave this week heading to Denver to see that little nephew. I know I will have many pictures and stories to share. I am a very proud aunt that cannot wait to hold that sweet baby.

Happy late 4th of July. Smile. Find your happiness. Be sweet. Be careful. Enjoy your life. Pray for those around you. Have faith built on solid ground. And be as normal as you can be! Happy July!!!
