By the time you’re reading this I’ll be a whole year older. Isn’t that weird. This year I get a fun date night with hubby, a birthday morning work out, a solo shopping day, and a family of 4 dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant. I wouldn’t ask for anything more. Absolute perfection and I cant wait!
