The Birthday I've Been Waiting For

Welcome to one of my favorite months!!!! I don't know what I'm going to do after this birthday because it's the last one I've had something special to connect with it! I mean sure, 30 is kind of a big deal and 50, certainly, but they don't have the same feelings as 0thers. 9 is the last one-digit number, 10 is the first two-digit number. 11 is the same number and so is 22. (Hey, maybe I'll look forward to 33 :) 13 is becoming a teenager, Sweet 16 and so on. You get the idea. The point is, I've had a lot of ages I've looked forward to over the years for different reasons and this is the last one.

So what does February look like for me this year?

First thing is that I'm getting back on Instagram. I had my break and it was WONDERFUL!!! I do miss connecting with my followers and friends but going back in, I am being way more intentional to hopefully help me enjoy the platform once again.

I am planning to do a She Reads Truth devotional that I received for Christmas that is all about God's presence and I am very excited about that. We'll have our combined birthday party with our family like we always do and we might have a few friends over another day to play games (my brothers and I have very close birthdays so we just celebrate together). I'm hoping my dad can get some original Turkish Delight because I've always wanted to try some!!! He and my grandmother don't think I'll like it but I won't know until I try :)

I want to do a little bit of Valentine celebration with my Bright LIghts girls and I have some plans forming for how that will look. I'll be celebrating my birthday but some of my biggest plans will happen later in the year (if they happen at all. I am learning to hold plans loosely these days).

On the business side of things, unless we get some snow that sticks around, I probably won't have any sessions (winter tends to be indoor sessions and not too many people want that right now) so I will focus on being intentional on Instagram as I work back into that community and I am learning how to best serve you on Pinterest!
