{thirty three}

this year I didn't dread the "birthday".   I actually was looking forward to it.

I don't know if it is me getting older, or just that I honestly feel soo good about things.

I am happy.   I am blessed.  I have a beautiful daughter who brightens my world each day.

I have a wonderful husband, that I LOVE.   I feel like together he and I can do anything.

This year my birthday was on Friday the 13th.  

{Random fact - I was also born on Friday the 13th, and so was my sister}.

I woke up early.  I was excited.  I had a goal that I wanted to weigh 33 lbs less on my 33rd birthday.

And I did it.  It felt sooo incredibly good.  

{-33lbs}

I had taken the day off work.    Rob still had to work, but he gave me a sweet card.

When Addison woke up I got another sweet card.  

She drew this picture of our family.

and included her "A" in the spot for her name.

We had a fun afternoon at City Creek.  {omg, it is amazing}

I had a little too much fun at the H & M store.

After a fun afternoon Rob had planned a dinner with the whole family.

He gave me my present.   I am soooo excited to get it, he had to pre order it.

{he had a little help from my sister - but I am sooo excited}

And for the record, I did not weigh this morning.   I ate like crap this weekend.  And I am paying for it.

I don't feel well at all!   Today I am back on the wagon. 

I look forward to a wonderful year...

making more memories, taking more pictures, and shedding more pounds!

especially with this cute girl.
