I love to journal. I have kept a journal for, well...as long as I can remember. Of course, I used to refer to this history keepsake as my "diary" and always deeply wanted one with a lock on it because, as a third grader, I had some pretty private matters and some super juicy secrets, right!? Well, I found my journal from last year, and looked at what my life was like on this day from good old 2008.
Here was my entry on January 8th:
Daniel and I got in from Miami last night. We had a REALLY great time. Daniel's interview (for residency) went very well. On Sunday we headed to the beach and walked to where we got married. It's actually not a Wyndham anymore, but Miami Beach Resort & Spa. We walked from 1414 Collins all the way down to 4900 Collins. So, 2.7 miles each way. It was a blast and hard to imagine that it's been almost 4 and a half years since we said, "I do."Little did we know, it would be even harder to imagine that at that very moment, I was pregnant and didn't know it.
I found some pictures from our trip and couldn't help but notice how carefree we looked. Boy, has that changed! Ha!

*It's interesting to note that the shirt Daniel is wearing is the same one he had on during Aubrey's delivery. Now that's just weird if you ask me!


Now fast forward to present day, and...



what a difference a year makes...
