Birthday and Baby Blessing

Last week was so busy! I turned 22, but, side note, my 22 looks nothing like Taylor Swift's. I have a beautiful baby, an adoring husband and a cute house. Taylor should be jealous! We blessed our baby on Sunday and it just turned out to be a wonderful day. Everything was perfect and I could not be happier about all of it, but getting ready was sure stressful. Amid all the stress though, we did have some fun! My front door got a much needed make over! I really should have taken a before picture because it is amazing how under an hour of effort and 20 bucks made such a huge difference! I have always wanted a red door since I was a little girl. My mother painted her door red on the house where I grew up and I always loved it. Now I am the mother and I have a house of my own and I get to have the red door! I'm so giddy about it. I love it so much.

Before the red it was a very worn wood door with hardly any finish and a strange design. You can still see the design, but it is much more subtle. I was going to do two coats of paint, but the wood soaked up the first coat so beautifully. It looks like a distressed red stain. I love the combination of the red door and white shutters. I love our house. I love my life! You can also see the bench Chris got me for my birthday! It was a total surprise. I have been saying I want a bench since before we even closed on the house. Baby girl and I have loved sitting on it in the afternoons when the porch is shady. It is a wonderful spot. All in all it was a great birthday and blessing day. I have the best family! I am so glad to be blessed with so much love and happiness.

This is my favorite picture from the blessing. And it's in front of my red door!
