Happy Friday, friends! I feel like so much has changed since last week’s post! I’m working on writing Olivia’s birth story and can’t wait to share it with y’all. The past few days have been by far the most exhausting but happiest ones yet. Extra thankful for good coffee and even better wine. It’s cheesy, but I feel like I’m floating on cloud 9 and can’t believe we’re blessed enough to get to be parents to the sweetest little girl. Words can’t describe how full my heart feels. Thank you so much for all the kind words y’all have sent!

    Yes, the flank steak recipe was soooo good. Actually used a flat iron steak instead as I feel this is a better piece of meat. Excited about the eclipse – actually attending an Eclipse Party!!! Can’t wait to see more photos of baby Olivia! She is precious!
