Week of Anniversaries

September 29 was Rich and Laurie's 32 wedding anniversary! Jake and I are grateful to have such giving parents in our lives. I hope that we are able to be so giving, loving, and kind in another 31 years.

September 29 was also my 1 year anniversary with Panera, It's hard to believe that a year ago this week I was walking into a new job, unsure of myself and thinking that this would be just another paycheck. Turns out, I love my job and am proud to say I am a part of the Panera Bread Co. And it shows that with a little elbow grease and determination, you can do anything.

Jake celebrated his 31st birthday on Friday! We were so happy that the whole McCoy clan in to celebrate with us. Jake worked at both Bergner's and Panera that day so I helped his coworkers celebrate by bringing in loads of lemon cupcakes. Today everyone ate lunch together and spent the afternoon lazing around the house.

Here is the part where I get all mushy and embarass Jake: I love you, Jake McCoy. More than anything, with the exception of our beautiful daughter. I am so unbelievably grateful that God placed you in my life. You make every day worthwhile, and the two of us have this amazing little girl, who worships the ground you walk on. She adores her daddy as do I. As Evie would say, "Happy to you, Daddy." I hope that your birthday celebrations helped to show you how much your family loves and appreciates you. <3
