Reflections on being 27

I certainly had a great time living my 27th year

The 27 highlights were these; 

1. moved into our very first house

2. celebrated H turning 1

3. saw my sister get married 

4. Ran my 2nd annual Halloween Run and Turkey Trot with the one and only Katie Matteson in record time I might add!

5. Enjoyed a crazy bachelorette weekend with Katie, Kellie and Kel's friends in LA, complete with seeing the bride-to-be destroy a very cute purse in the back of some unfortunate's taxi cab:)

6. Was the B Team soccer coach at my school, loved getting back on the field and seeing those boys learn the game and sometimes love it 

7. Enjoyed 6 weeks off in the summer to play with little boy H

8. Bought the burley! 

 

9. Had Katie be a great babysitter for H

10. Found Cindy and Eli which turned out to be the perfect place for H to spend his days while I worked 

11. Thanksgiving in Alma with my sweet familia 

12. Watched Jon become a greater and greater dad every day 

13. Met the sweet Bridget Thomas, the daughter of one of my BFFs

14. Art Prize Brunch with our friends! Although less spectacular than last year it was made fun by Fred's dynamic GR touring skills 

15. Reunited with some of my favorite and truest high school friends at the Annual Poker Party

16. Was able to congratulate (albeit not in person) one of my NY besties on her engagement 

17. Had Harrison help me be a more outgoing version of my self every day 

18. Witnessed Jon embrace cycling to work with enthusiasm 

19. Found enjoyable GR spots like Reeds Lake 

20. Bought not one but two new winter coats (both because sister Katie introduced me to Modcloth)

21. Learned to love Mulick Park for being super close to my house, and truly beautiful in all seasons

22. Successfully got H on a sleep routine and said goodbye to late night feedings

23. Speaking of which...said goodbye to breastfeeding as soon as he hit the 1 year mark, whew

24. Was able to walk, bus, bike, or drive to work-which I love!

25. Spent Christmas Eve as a little family unit and watched H tear up his Christmas presents gleefully 

26. Rang in the New Year, just Jon and I

27. Enjoyed a great birthday party complete with ice skating downtown, sangria, tapas and friends :)

Looking forward to making even greater highlights this year!
