With my 27th birthday being tomorrow, I figured I would write today's blog about all the positives that happened while I was 26. The last three months have been horrible with all my health issues, but there have been many positives so here it goes. They're in no specific order, except some really important ones are at the top :)
1. Birth of my first nephew Clark Franklin "Tripp" Hungerford on Aug. 9. After a short stay in the NICU, he's now a growing boy who loves his "Auntie"
2. Auburn football wins the National Championship in January. Even though we flew out to Arizona for the game without tickets, we were able to buy club level tickets for face value at will-call due to so many folks being stuck in Alabama/Georgia do to a snow storm
3. A week long trip to Hawaii with my best friend Elise in April. We were able to connect with her cousin and one of our missionary friends. It was such a relaxing vacation, and I loved exploring all the different beaches
4. My first snow white Christmas: We had a beautiful, snowy Christmas this year. It was beautiful and fun to play in
5. Summer Camp 2011 with my rising 9th grade girls at Riverstone
6. Adopting my first puppy - Isabelle. She is a pure bread English Springer Spaniel, and will be 8 months at the end of November. She is making writing this blog difficult as she keeps jumping in my lap as I type. She is still very much puppy!
7. Watching Auburn come back from a 24 point def. against Alabama to go onto the SEC Championship
8. Attending the 2010 SEC Championship
9. Being a bridesmaid in Erin Sutton's wedding in January
10. Attending the following other weddings: Kelli Kite, Kimberly Kite, Matt Stafford, David and Stayce Van Gorp
11. Being asked to chair the communications and technology day for the current Leadership Cobb class
12. Hanging out with my "lil boyfriend" Thomas Egan several times. He may be just over a year old, but I love that little guy
13. Meeting with my accountability group from church. It's always fun and supportive to get together with Maria, Elisa and Kimberly
14. Serving on the steering committee for the Cobb Chamber ACES program
15. Being a small group leader for my girls at Riverstone Church
16. Working with United Way as the Cobb Development officer and raising over $7 million to help those in need
17. Going on a trip to the outlet malls with Jessica A. and Elizabeth S. (we've planned a better strategy for our next trip)
18. Multiple trips to Dang Nails to get pedicures with my mom, sister-in-law and friends
19. Going to see the movie "The Help" with a group of girl friends and our moms. Great book and great movie
20. Several "Clique" get together with my girls from Auburn. Some were all four of us, others we're just part of the "Clique" but we stayed in touch
21. Spending a weekend with Elise to see her new place in Rome, GA followed by a Superbowl party at David and Stayce's house in Cartersville
22. Going to Clemson in April to attend the annual JLF Golf Tournament. My family let me play a little during the tournament
23. Hosting a baby shower for Jessica and my lil nephew Tripp
24. Attending a two Braves game. One in the upper deck with friends from church and one in the club level sweet with Gas South (it was a thank you event for non-profits)
25. Going on a short road trip to St. Simons with my mom
26. Finding out how fantastic my friends and family are as they've come to my support through these most recent challenge.
