Let’s do this 29!!

Today at 1:59am, I turned the big 2-9! Thanks Mom for 17 hours of labor on YOUR birthday (yesterday)! : )

I love this photo above – it’s pretty much how I’d like to spend the last year of my twenties – with a giant smile and lots of laughs (and in a purple sequin dress with fake eyelashes… I’ll forgot those 4 inch heels though).

I really want to leave my twenties with an awesome year – one that’s centered and happy and full of growth. One that’s full of all my yes’es and less of my no’s. I love this verse… and love that the verse numbers match my birthday

“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.” Acts 2:28.

Could there be any better words to describe how I want to live my last year of my twenties? I will remember this verse daily : )

The photo above is of me + my birthday twin (Emily Ayer – Art Director for Southern Weddings) and I in Grand Cayman for engage!11. Happy birthday to you too, Em!

Thank you all for the birthday love!! I have a date tonight with our Brady, Bryan and our friends Chris and Zaida at one of my FAVORITE little local restaurants!

xo,

Emily

PS: Brady “sent me” (thanks for helping him, Nana!) a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Edible Arrangement (the pineapple Mickey may or may not have been eaten immediately after this photo was taken) with the sweetest note that he obviously wrote himself. It said “Hot dog, hot dog, hot dignity dog! Happy birthday to the World’s Greatest Mommy! Love, Brady” Love : )

PPS: Check out the SWEET video my friends made me  : ) The outtakes at the end are the best – especially the vertical pregnant bikini/cucumber/Hawaii shot – HA!!!!
