One Year Ago…

One Year Ago.

One Year Ago Tomorrow I saw this….

PREGNANT.

IMG_1297 - Version 2I can’t believe it has been a year since we found out our lives were changing forever and we would be a party of 3! Now, I have this beautiful, fun little girl in my lap. I am just so incredibly thankful for God’s timing and plan for lives. In my very first post about “How We Found Out…“, I mentioned that Kevin and I were not trying to start a family. We were on the 5 year plan, but God changed “our plan” which was ironic, because when we first got married, we said we would want to wait 3 years (which was exactly when it ended up happening).

With all of the unexpected events of the past year, Brooke has been the biggest blessing ever. I know she would be anyways, but looking back now, Kevin and I see just how perfect the timing was. It is so crazy. We wouldn’t trade one second. I loved being pregnant and I love being Brooke’s mommy even more. I didn’t know a love like this existed. I feel like my love for her just grows bigger and bigger every day. Sometimes, I feel like my heart could explode.

 

It is so crazy how much your life can change in just a year. I am looking forward to watching Brooke continue to grow and explore this next year. She makes me so thankful to be alive and reminds me everyday how precious life is. I love you so much Brooke.

  • 🍽️🖤 COMMENT “factor” for my link to order + you can use promo // SIMPLYCLARKEFB50 for 50% Off + 🍳Free Breakfast for a year!

I love how easy Factor is and meets all my nutrition goals! They have over 35 meal options to choose from each week that are ready quickly in the microwave.

They arrive fresh, never frozen and are delicious. I love the variety it adds to my meals. Plus, they have great keto-friendly options! #FactorPartner
