Luckee 13: Goodbye Luckee 13, Hello 2014

Get engaged.

Get married.

Buy a house.

Have a baby.

That was my beautiful, crazy 2013.

In one short year my entire world shifted, and I became the luckiest, happiest woman on the planet.

I was thinking back to this time last year, and getting really weepy. I remember standing in a dressing room stall, crying my eyes out to my mom because nothing was fitting right. I didn't feel beautiful, and I damn sure didn't want to wear a tight, sparkly mini-dress with this muffin top coming in.

Little did I know that my body was gearing up for the craziest ride of my life.

On this night, exactly one year ago, Andrew was filling up my cup of vodka (water) and putting as many limes as he could fit in there so people wouldn't notice I wasn't drinking.

Little did I know that the fact that I was wearing a loose, white sweater and black slacks would be a dead give away.

"I expected Becca to be wearing somethings flashy! Is she drinking? Is she pregnant?!"

(Jo Jo, you just knew!)

13 has been lucky to me for many reasons, but I still can't believe that the year 2013 brought what it did. I gained new friends, lost a few friends, and learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. It was bittersweet at times, but my goodness was it sweet.

The man of my absolute dreams asked me to be his wife, and for some crazy reason still wanted to say "I do" just a few short months later!

We had the most beautiful, loving, funny, sweet baby boy to ever be born. I am overwhelmed to tears (daily!) by the love that our home has. I never knew a man could make me cry every single day, tears of absolute happiness and joy. My heart is so full that it's overflowing with gratefulness, blessings, and deep, deep love!

I prayed for a long, long time that God would save me from the rut I was in, give me some direction, show me who/what I was supposed to be!

My goodness, did He. He put Andrew in my life, and then He gave us Jack.

THAT is one heck of a year.

I don't know what 2014 has in store, but then again I had no idea what 2013 held. All I know is I get to spend a new year wrapped in love, snuggled next to my husband, and kissing on my 4 month old. 2014, you have some incredibly big, beautiful shoes to fill...but I already know tomorrow will be even more beautiful than today!

Tonight I'm spending my NYE tucked in at our beautiful house, next to a little boy in a tuxedo onesie, and a husband who I can't take my eyes off of. I can tell you this, it doesn't get better than that.

Cheers to you my friends! I hope your new year is as full of love, Christ, and happiness that I have experienced. You never know what could happen ;)

I suggest starting at a karaoke bar on a Sunday night.
