this is the 125th edition of my grace in small things post.
and i am beyond grateful for an amazing birthday boy and a simply wonderful birthday girl.
i don't think either of them would really want their pictures up here, so in good spirits i'm not posting any pictures today.

i just wanted to take a moment to be thankful. these two are both very important to me. they have both been in my life for quite some time now. even if nicholas doubles lauren's amount of time for knowing me. either way. they both have stuck through the good and bad, the speed bumps, the exciting moments. and they are both still here. i don't see either of them as often as i would like to. but i am in awe over them. they are both beautiful on the inside and out. they have taught me so many things.

my life is simply better because they are in it.

happy birthday, nicholas and lauren. i hope this future year brings beautiful moments into your lives.
