42 favorite moments

My birthday was yesterday. I am borrowing a post idea from Elise for my birthday celebrations this year. I have previously done a similar post, but haven’t been consistent over the last couple of years, but I enjoy looking back on my birthday and reminisce about the moments that made the last year great.

So, without further ado, my favorite – some big, but mostly small – 42 moments.
