*Whew* 2018 was a crazy year full of BIG moments. At the end of 2017, I got engaged, which meant the first half of the year was full of wedding planning.
We tried to keep things low key and I think for the most part, it worked. On one of the last beautiful days in June, and by that I mean before the wildfires started and filled our skies with smoke, I married this man who I knew I was going to marry pretty much the first time our paths officially crossed.
He fills my life with art, dance, song and superheroes. Because let's face it, I was not sure what DC and Marvel comics were before he entered my life. Now, I'm a fan. But, most importantly, he loves God and loves me with such patience, because I know I can be difficult, and he has a big heart of service.
When we returned, summer was in full swing. It was hot, we were trying to settle into married life and were separately working two jobs. Thankfully, once fall arrived, I think our lives started feeling a bit more settled. I got a promotion at work and a week later, we got the best news yet!
Our sweet little baby is expected in early June. We found out really early, so we had to wait a long time to tell anyone, but our holidays were full of sweet anticipation.
I have to admit, this year was packed full of things I was wondering would ever happen to me. Yes, I spent a lot of time single and have a lot of great memories of college, traveling, working and saving to buy my house and just being carefree. Yet, I would scroll through these types of posts of people sharing their happy news of upcoming weddings and babies and wonder if God had marriage and motherhood for me. He did, but as always, it was His timing. I look back at where my husband and I were separately over the years and believe me, we were not ready to be with each other. God was working on both of us and this past year has been a good reminder that some of the most important things you are given in life are worth the wait.

Two days later we flew to Maui for our honeymoon where we had an absolute blast exploring the island, going to a luau, snorkeling, eating too much food and drinking fruity island drinks.
