31 was...

Another birthday will be here in a week! Another time to reflect and celebrate the life of Sabrina. And I am thankful and joyful to get ready to enjoy a fun birthday:) I am a birthday girl at heart, loving to get together and enjoy a month of smiles in April!

As I have done in the past, I wanted to look back over a year. 31, I don't want to close you out without taking some moments with you, to see how the 365 days went. Hint: They went really, really well!

31 was musical...
I started out my birthday weekend last year, in Jax, seeing, singing and dancing to Motown the Musical. And that lively spirit has followed me all through 31. This year was me singing to Smokey Robinson, Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, and making plans to sing to John Legend and Bruno Mars (SO excited!).....yeah, so you could definitely say, I was feeling the music this year.

31 was healthier habits...
Sometimes you get hints in life. Hints to really be careful and alert. And so by October, I was ready (which is the biggest thing I think) to be serious about losing weight and getting lighter. Ready to move from words, into actions. So I signed up for Weight Watchers (tried and true and so helpful to me!!). Kinda crazy to sign up, right as the fabulous and fattening holiday season began....hahaha, but that's how I roll;) Anyway, then I got a Fitbit in January. And now it's April and I have lost 20lbs and I am so excited and proud of the healthier me, who now seeks opportunities to choose health.

31 was looking forward...
I am an old soul, and so I have great friends in a variety of age ranges. So, I had to catch myself this year, because I started thinking that I was further along than I really am. Kinda crazy! So the mature side of me, feels like I am older than 31, but I need to keep my feet planted in this year, this time. I looked forward and ahead a lot this year. And I hoped, and wished for some of the big things that I would love to see in my future. What things? I look forward to a faithful, dedicated marriage relationship. Raising a family together and doing my best to be a Godly wife and mother. Yeah, those kinds of beautiful things:) Until then, I'm enjoying the freedom and excitement of the current season. It's a delicate balance. One I am still working on getting right.

32, I can't wait to meet you! 31, thank you for being wonderful!
