If you are on Facebook at one point or another you have seen the 1 year ago posts or even possibly posted some yourself. This morning I was surprised to see that a year ago we told the world, via Facebook and Instagram that we were expecting.

I remember this day like it was just a week ago. When we posted this on facebook we had been talking about when to do it and we would go back and forth of when would be a good time. We decided that morning to stop dragging our feet and let the whole world be happy for us. I was so nervous. I was scared to share this wonderful secret with the world and I was just happy keeping it to myself. I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach when we announced it. We posted this right before we left for work and I remember getting a text from Dom that said “Facebook is blowing up, I love you”. It is funny how much we rely on social media to share huge life moments with friends and family near and far. We were showered with well wishes and lots of cheerful congratulations! We were overwhelmed by the support and excitement everyone shared with us.

I am so thankful for our sweet blessing of a daughter. Not only is she the sweetest and cutest baby we know but she is such a firecracker and I love being her mom. I had no idea a year ago what was in store for our lives and I definitely didn’t think we would be so far from our families and friends or in Alaska. I am still so in shock of just how much our lives have changed this past year and I am so excited for what is in store for us this next year!

How sweet to reminisce on such a fun, exciting day. I am so grateful for BB every single day and I would have never guessed that my life would be so freaking awesome and that I would have such an incredible little family.
