I am climbing Mt. Princeton.

And baby Zion is breathing on his own.

That’s basically all I could ask for on my 29th birthday.

I am super grateful to have made it through the past 12 very difficult months, and summoning as much hope as I can for the year ahead.

    Hallelujah to both things! But only one of them has cheeks I’d like to squinch :)

    Congratulations on making it to the ripe old age of 29. Your journey to here has not been the smoothest – there have been enough rough spots that I suspect you are descended from Job.

    But there have been some amazing highs too! Stay focused on those.

    Happy, Happy day, sweet Annie! May today continue to bless you in ways you least expect! (I, for one, think birthdays are highly overrated, but you are definitely due for an exception!)

    It was your birthday and I totally failed at wishing you happiness on your special day. My apologies.

    I suppose I’ll just have to make it up to you in person. Oh yeah, which will be possible when I MOVE TO YOUR TOWN. :)
