I'm in that weird period where I have to count how old I am on my fingers. 25 was a big mark and next is 30, but everything in between is just kind of late twenties ish. I'm having so much fun though, despite being alone for most of it. I'm finally a Mother, and it's the best thing that's happened to me lately. I know this year will kick ass being that we're months away from my family FINALLY being reunited after on and off since 2012. My daughter will finally have a full time dad and I'll get my husband back.
We started the day off with a necessary road trip to Pensacola for some mandatory appointments I had, but we took advantage of it!
We ate a yummy lunch on the water, and I finally tried Grits Ya Ya!
We couldn't come to Pensacola without seeing the infamous blue water!
Norah couldn't stop smiling. She loves the beach, Mommy and Daddy. I even got a shout out from the brother in D.C.!
We had some time to kill so we walked a bit downtown, which is actually really nice! The area was so lively with coffee shops, boutiques, bars and shops. We walked about, read some statues and window shopped. We grabbed some local java, then hit the road!
Every year my husband INSISTS on making me from scratch my birthday cake. I love it, and really think it's the sweetest thing. His gesture really makes me feel special, and it always tastes great!

This year I have so much going on, and goals I want to accomplish. I don't ever want to be stagnant. In fact, I fear it so much. I always want to be growing or working towards something. This year I want to successfully transition out of my career as an Air Force officer into the civilian world. I want to have a smooth move moving my family to Oklahoma. I want to pass my two online classes I'm currently suffering through. I want to start nursing school this summer with confidence and kick ass!
Most importantly I want to continue to be an amazing mother to my sweet Ma Petite. She really is what we've been waiting for since we started dating in 2008. We want to soak every minute up we can with her. Finally, I want to be a wife again. It's so tough being in a long distance marriage. You miss out on so much. I've been living the "single" life too long, and I'm ready to date my husband. Wake up to him each morning, have daily kisses, hugs, share laughs and jokes, eradicate FT dates and start really dating each other again.
This year will be such a good one for me and my family. 28 the expectations are HIGH!
