   The Prelude: The Mom & Fiancee Era: Embracing Your 40's & Beyond (41st Birthday)

   Chapter 41 looks A LOT different than 40. But isn’t that the point? Last year, I had this insane desire to be ALONE to ring in my big milestone birthday, so I boarded a plane and headed to Punta Cana on my first solo trip out of the country. I'm a sand and sea girlie, don't judge me. Little did I know, I was being prepared to experience the greatest gift of all… Coming to know and love God more than anything in this world. And He continually has shown up and out, and I am forever grateful. Today, I'm engaged and expecting our first baby early in 2026...yes, did all of that at 40, so later bloomers, WHAT UP?! I share because last year, I needed a message like this—even though I felt so far from it. I cannot believe that this time next year, we’ll celebrate with our little, God-given gift, a baby, after being childfree forever. I can’t wait! ---- Hang with me on Instagram! 📺 Rather watch?
