When looking at my top 9 from my year, it's so clear that my life continues to move on but Brian is always a huge part of it. Looking at these Best 9 most liked photos is such a snapshot of all that was my life before and continues to be my life now. I see Brian through it all. I see the commitment of his friends to love us through everything and always be there for us. I see family memories and traditions that continue. I see a sweet sweet girl who continues to grow and reminds me of her dad constantly. And I see new people we've added to our lives.
Update: The last two blogs were break up blogs. Well, Josh and I are working it out. He texted about a week later saying he was an idiot and got scared of how good things were (of course this is the simplified version). I have NEVER in my life been dumped then gotten back together with someone. It's not what I do. But he seems worth it. There have been lots of discussions because it's one thing to gamble with my heart but harder when Harper's heart is involved too. It's amazing what mature conversations I can have with her. Overall I am hopeful of what's to come and I am hoping this is the next right thing.
Looking Back at 2019
Every year I chose a word and try to be mindful of the word throughout the year. For 2019 the word was "MORE". There was definitely more.
- More adventures! Utah, Chicago, and England were some of our faves
- More changes. A new job, teaching at UNF, and reapplying to grad school
- More loss like our friend Harold
- More friends having babies for me to love on
- More new experiences like dating and breaking up and dating again
- More framily, family and friend time
- More love from all our favorite people
- More of the unexpected like home repairs
- More growth like Harps learning to read, first dance recital, and first soccer season
For 2020 I am choosing the word "CONNECTED". I want to be more connected to what I am doing. I want to break up with my phone. I want to be connected to how I am feeling and how I am taking care of my body. I want to focus on my connections to the people I love and care for. I want to build better connections in my new role at work. If I've learned anything from all the more it's that there's no way to truly appreciate it all without being connected. I loved 2019 and am really looking forward to what 2020 adds to our lives.
