Oh and check out this little gift that was waiting on my desk…
GUM!
Yes, my gum-chewing habit earned me a 35-piece pack of gum! Let’s hope I can make this last through the next couple of days…
After this terrific start, I have a feeling my 26th year will be a good one! 😀
I’m not gonna lie though, it’s going to be hard to surpass this past year.
A Look Back: My 25th Year
As my family and I say, this past year of my life was “the year of the wedding.” What a wonderful year it was. 😀 I tell Ryan all the time that I really wish we could re-live our special day.
Of course a lot of other wonderful things happened last year, too. I hope you enjoy this photo flashback of the past year of my life.

One small, finicky thing: this was actually your 26th year. After your first year in the world you turn 1, after your second 2, e.t.c.
Kind of depressing, isn’t it? 😉

After seeing Sadie’s butt grass, I let out a hearty laugh in the middle of my office 🙂 Thanks for the fun recap!!
