November

I always love the month of November. I am always filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The last few months of the year I always do a lot of reflection on where my life is at and what I am most thankful for. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. The number one thing being Nathan. He has brought so much joy into our lives. It is incredible the amount of love you can have for a baby. I am also so grateful for Stephen and Everett. The love I have for them is endless. My family is my entire world.
My family endured a lot of trials this year. So did Stephen's. I am so grateful for the miracles I have also witnessed this year and the strength of family love. I wish I could do more for those in my family, to help bring them comfort and strength in difficult times. Sometimes life just plainly isn't fair. I am so glad I have family and friends I can love and count on during those times.
November is also a really fun month because of Stephen's birthday. He turned 31 this year. We kept it pretty simple. Everett, Nathan, and I brought him some balloons and dessert waffles to work the day before his birthday to wish him an early happy birthday. We had presents and cake for him the day of and brought him breakfast in bed. After the kids were in bed we went to the Chef and the Farmer restaurant. It is such an elegant place. Everything on the menu looks incredible and what we did try was amazing.
