2. My 31st birthday

On New Year's Eve, I celebrated my 31st birthday! I was still recovering from double ear infections and a sinus infection but I managed to go out for a little bit with my mom. We went to Target and Barnes & Noble and had tacos at Moe's. We also got cupcakes to take home. I was so tired that I didn't even stay up to watch the ball drop at midnight and I crashed at 10pm.

4. December 2017 Occasions & Events

In December...

I attended the second annual Winter Planner Land event. I went to the event in 2016 and both of them were beyond amazing and so much fun.

My niece/God-daughter O turned 12!!

I attended my local planner meet up and we had a pot luck where everyone brought something to eat/drink. It was a lot of fun!

On the 17th, it marked 6 years that I graduated from college.

On December 16th, it marked the 11 year anniversary of meeting my favorite athlete, David Wright! My dad surprised me with tickets for my birthday that year.

I turned 31 on New Year's Eve.
