Wow, 27 years old.  I remember thinking, after turning 25, there really isn’t anything much to celebrate until you turn the big 3-0.  Whoa, was I wrong! This is the first year that I can actually tell you I am finding who I truly am.  Without college, being pregnant and having babies, this is the first year that I have had to grow and find who I truly am.  I will write down 27 things about me on my 27th birthday!

1. I woke up at 4:30am to start out my 27th birthday year off right at the gym! (I have walked 5,469 steps and it’s only 6:30am)
2. I found this passion for photography that I never knew I had!
3. Crafting is still my weakness, but it’s something that I LOVE to do!
4. I set a goal to lose 27 pounds by my 27th birthday, and I just accomplished it yesterday(lost 29 exactly)! (Still have a new goal to set, but so happy that I did it!)
5. Late night walking with my husband and my baby, has become one of my favorite things to do.
6. My favorite bath and body works product is the lavender and vanilla body wash that is supposed to help with sleep! 🙂
7. I love to read! I just finished the book by author Anna Maxted and will be posting a review soon!
8. My favorite season of the year is fall, and I am so happy it’s right around the corner!
9. I am wanting to grow my blog further this year, and I will put in as much hard work as it takes, to do so!
10. My top two favorite shows right now is Mistresses, and Total Divas.
11. I love to work as an RN, but I LOVE to spend more time at home with my little love even more!
12. Teaching is one of my biggest passions in life, and I probably will spend Brielle’s whole life teaching her something new every day!
13. This is the first year in 5 years that I haven’t been pregnant or trying to get pregnant (kind of surreal).
14. I have had the same best friends for over 10+ years (of course adding my favorite twins over the last 5+ years)
15. I have’t dyed my hair since my sophomore year in high school in over 10 years (I definitely think that ages me a tad bit) lol!
16. Brielle will tell everyone “look that’s mommy’s favorite color pink”, and every single thing that is pink, haha! Oops!
17. This month marks two years that I have been with my home health patient in Austin!
18. My favorite places in our house are the keepsake areas for both Lamar and Rochelle.
19. I love me some pumpkin smelling candles in the fall time (well, really pumpkin anything in the fall sounds perfect to me).
20. I have three animals (2 dogs and 1 cat)!
21. Brielle’s liquid chalk markers, may just be some of my favorite things to use.
22. My teeth have shifted so much since I stopped wearing my retainer years ago (really need to make my dentist appointment and get a new retainer)
23. My mom got me the sweetest, most thoughtful presents ever this year (A bracelet with all of my children engraved on it, and the most beautiful jewelry box that I am keeping it in! Thank you so much mom!!)
24. Writing has been the one key factor that helps me express my feelings, and get out of feeling so alone and down and about these past few years!
25. Lamar’s middle name is Grant (After Shane’s family)
26. Brielle’s middle is Diane (After my mom)
27. Rochelle’s middle name is Elaine (After shane’s family)
