Hey all! I've been sick as a dog, so I have very little to report, other than I'm on the mend, I did a TONNNNNN of reading, and it's my birthday this month, which means I have some fun stuff planned. 

More than anything, I wanted to check in and let you know that I appreciate you so much. I truly hope with all my heart that you have a wonderful 2025. I know life is heavy and we are used to carrying so much weight on our shoulders. My goal this year is to spend more time in the present and I hope you're able to do the same. The older I get, the more I realize I'm spending too much of my life stressing and not living.  I see you. I appreciate you. I am happy to know you and be a part of your journey around the sun this year. :)

Let me see if I can find any interesting photos to include... please hold.... Okay, we got the amazing meal I made for dinner but it was too spicy for my sick throat and I broke into a coughing fit. So, while the hubs ate the yumminess, I had Top Ramen. It was still yummy, Ha!

For our anniversary, he got me some bubbles, flowers, and fun socks! <3 I tried to draw on my iPad for the first time, AND I finished opening my advent book box the hubs got me for Xmas.

I think that's all I got. 

I hope you're all in good health! Happy New Year! <3
