THIRTY-ONE [21/31].

My birthday cake. Kind of a joke, but kind of not. 

I turned thirty-one today. For some reason, this one feels harder than thirty was. I know it's not that old in the scheme of life, but time tends to barrel on faster every year.

I wanted to write this long, reflective post about this past year, but I'm really struggling to find the words. I've wasted too much time on this already and deleted too many drafts. Right now, I just want to get this 31 Days entry posted before midnight.

Birthday flowers from Wayde. 

Today was a nice though. My husband surprised me with flowers before going to work. He even took me out on a sushi lunch date. I received lots of birthday texts from friends & family, which is the modern day equivalent to cards. I even got a couple actual ones via snail mail! I watched some of the Vikings game with my sister and the kiddos. Maybe if they had won, it would've been a perfect day. 

Otherwise, I couldn't have asked for anything more. 

I am just so grateful for this time in my life and what God is doing in it. So incredibly grateful. xx
