26 accomplishments in my 26th year - in no particular order


1. I got to spend another 365 days learning more about my husband & sharing quality time together while our love for each other & the Lord grows deeper every day.

2. Colored my hair for the first time ever - a little red, barely there, but it's a start :)

3. Dug deeper into the bible learning so much more about my God, my inheritance as a daughter of the King, and his favor for us all

4. 2 weddings in the family, both planned in about 3 months each(one including a snowstorm like we hadn't seen in years).

5. Added a new member to the "Millar" clan - Matt Hagler.

6. Welcomed 2 new family members into the Day family - Michael and Ellie Grace.

7. Took charge of my body & my health by doing a 10 week/30 visit chiropractic rehab. Learned more about my body then I could have ever dreamed and continue to do so each day. Dropped a size, cut out all caffeine, increased water intake, and I now feel amazing~

8. Had professional pictures taken with my family for the first time that I can remember for memories that will last a lifetime.

9. Spent Thanksgiving & Christmas in Abalama(as CB used to say) with my entire family under one roof for a weekend, another accomplishment that hasn't happened since I was in elementary school.

10. After a wonderful weekend with the Millar clan we went back to the beach house for Thanksgiving for a little R&R with the Day fam - the last time without grandchildren :)

11. Visited the Bahamas again with friends.

12.Had 2 weddings in 1 day at the same time - knocked them both out in style :)

13. Got to be a bridesmaid as I watched one of my dearest friends, Stephanie, get married to J -who completes her so well...with an amazing celebration to top it off.

14. Had a blast at the surprise "it's your birthday & you just got engaged & we want to celebrate with you!" party for my dear friends Lauren & Adam.

15. Was blessed to be a Matron of Honor in Rachel's wedding to Matt.

16. Started an official date night with Chris once a week to take time out of our schedules and just "be" together(one that included him going to paint with me & lots of other women a sweet bunny pic for his mom's bday).

17. Kept my girl's nights going strong - becoming even more thankful for all of the strong women I am honored to call my girlfriends who teach me so much.

18. Learned just how "type A" I am.

19. Had friends over for dinner a few more times than last year - hoping each year gets better!

20. Read more books than I have in a long time {averaging one a month} therefore reaching a personal goal that I set for myself.

21. Hosted a table at the Special Kids dinner(such grownups!) with a wonderful group of friends and colleagues sitting with us supporting an amazing organization.

22. Started a new position at work as membership coordinator.

23. Had a wonderful year learning more about my county, making new relationships, and starting a day at 7:15am through Leadership Rutherford - and I graduated! :)

24. Rode up in a firetruck bucket hundreds of feet up in the air with LR.

25. Shot a gun for the first time on the National Guard base with LR.

26. Witnessed miracles happen all around me - never ceasing to amaze me what a mighty God we serve who is mighty to save!

And in the end,
it's not the years in your life that count.
It's the life in your years.
