The Best of 2014

Obviously, the greatest thing in 2014 was the day Dagny was born and our family became three. But when I reflect back on the year there are so many wonderful memories worth noting. 

-Mark and I spent the month of January knowing we were pregnant, keeping that big secret and cherishing the sound of her heart beat. 

-In April I got to see him for the first time in a few months. He felt my growing belly and her soft little kicks. 

-Jesus knew I was lonely so he gave me the sweetest roommate Cynthia. That friendship is a God wink.  

-I traveled to the west and east coast in July, 8 months pregnant to see two of my best friends get married.

-Anxiously preparing a room and home for my baby. 

-Mark making it home for Dagny's birth. Seeing him cry over our baby girl will always be at the top of my list of sweetest moments. 

-Toronto

-Going to Mark's games with Dags. 

-The four months we've spent together in the same place and the fact that it's the longest we've been together since we were married. 

-My sister Clementine's wedding and how absolutely stunning she was as a bride. 

-Clementine finally meeting Dagny Clementine. And all of the rest of the far away family that came to Florida. 

And here are some favorite pictures documenting our big moments of 2014.

We both were pregnant!

I did spend most of 2014 pregnant.

New Years Eve

New Years Day. 

When Mark and I got married, my uncle Brant, who married us, told us "it just gets better from here." Every day is truly happier than the last. And when I think about my happiest day in 2014, I can't get past yesterday morning, waking up with our baby. Because it just keeps getting better.
