Taking Stock

I came across this post from Abi and thought I’d join in. (original post here.)

I turned 28 yesterday. 27 was a fantastic year. Quite simply, I’m completely content with my life right now. I love spending my days with David, I love working on this blog, I love 5:10p when Justin gets home from work. Maybe it’s a combination of Justin being finished with graduate school, and him no longer living in Pennsylvania for 6 months, but it feels like we’ve really settled down recently. Maybe David is the cause of that (probably). Either way, I’m thankful and happy.
