Two days shy

I turn 25 on Thursday.
Yes, I know it is also Thanksgiving.
But, Hello! I'm turning 25 YEARS OLD.

I'm kind of freaking out. While I am more than happy to kick 24 to the curb as the hardest year of my life, 25 is a big deal. My husband has offered to take me to a lovely dinner and buy me a watch of my choice tomorrow night to celebrate, since Turkey dinner wasn't exactly on my wish list. I am excited, and I'm looking online for dresses for the special occasion. What does a 25 year old wear? Short, long, lace, deep V? I don't know. I feel like I am about to enter some uncharted waters of 25. It's almost daunting. 5 more years will be thirty and then we will blink our eyes and I will be 80.
Seriously people. This is cra- people. Absolutely cra-. ( for you older folks, CRA= Crazy.)

Like I said earlier, 24 has been a hard year. Like haard. Quite honestly, by the grace of Jesus Christ and Him alone, I have made it through some of my toughest nights, and darkest days. To be honest, there were moments when I didn't think I was going to make it. There were days I thought about giving up, throwing in the towel and sinking in my heartache and pain. Yet, here I am, two days shy of turning 25 and I am excited. Sorta. I'm excited to spend the day with my family and with Jonny.

Here's to two exciting dinners, a great dress & a new watch :)

Not Pregnant

There are moments you wait for your whole life. Ones that seem to pause all of time for just a brief second, when all is right with the world.  This post is not one about one of them. A few weeks ago I thought that I was pregnant.  I had some of the symptoms, and was late. I remember telling Jonny, "babe, I think I might be pregnant." He's so optimistic. "No, you can't be. WAIT.  Do you really think you are?"  I was extremely anxious. I started planning how perfect it would be if I was pregnant. Jonny would even rub my tummy saying "If you're in there, I love you so much." But then I would doubt everything and it was just overwhelming. We were in Texas with my family and I was trying to keep every emotional breakdown that I was having to myself. I was shopping with my mom and Jonny  at wal mart for some groceries and Jonny headed to the check out stand beforehand and got a pregnancy test. Bless his heart he bought the digit...

Thursday Morning Walks

For the past year or so I have walked on thursday mornings with friends. Two beauties in particular who walk the 1.72 miles around the block with me. We meet around 7 in the morning so that we can still have time to get ready for work and the day ahead. Usually we text each other the night before and make sure that we are still on for the next morning, to make sure that we aren't sick or need extra sleep due to the craziness of life. I've come to find that these Thursday mornings are precious to me. As the sun creeps through the trees, and wind gently blows in our faces we connect in a way that we may not have if we didn't wake before the sunrise to meet each other and walk. The girls I walk with, I've known for years. I've known them as young women entering college. I've mentored them, they've mentored me. We've cried together, we've laughed together, we have lived life together. I've watched them date the men they are married to now, I went...

A 3 Year Old Ring

A few years ago on January 26, it was raining. It was cold and blustery. I remember wanting to wear a dress to a combined birthday party for my husband and nephew.  However due to the rain, I had to wear jeans & a coral sweater. I was frustrated, but #life. I remember showing up and being disappointing that it wasn't a surprise engagement party. I remember my friend said " Not everything is about you." The party was fun! If you know the Tillery's you know they go big for parties! Catered food, a live band, heck even a photographer to capture every bite of cake my nephew puts in his mouth. The rain had kept most of us inside, or inside my father in law's wine cave. Yes, you read right, he has a cave full of wine- of course there are other things, but mostly wine. The sun had begun peeking through the clouds in the later part of the afternoon, and my mom and dad decided to head home so they could miss the next onset of rain and make it home sa...
