31

My birthday really snuck up on me this year. Although, I do have a bit of a distraction. 

My 30th year was quite the ride. There has been much grief this year. From dealing with the loss of our first child to losing both of my grandfathers. There has also been great joy. From finding out we were having a baby (just week after my Grandpa Marrah's death) to actually giving birth (just one day before my Grandpa Gavisk's death). The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. 

I look forward to the next 31 years. Watching Emi grow up. Traveling. Maybe giving Emi a sibling. Growing old with Joshua. And seeing where the Lord takes us. 

Emi and I in our St. Louis Cardinals gear for the home opener.


God's Blessings,

Joshua, Stefani, and Emilia

P.S. Seven years ago today Joshua asked me to be his wife. He is still waiting for me to say yes. Although, one would think having a wedding and a baby would be yes enough. ;)

A year of grief, indeed. Thanking God right now for your sweet girl as the blessing of your difficult year!
