Eleven years ago, I met my husband. I had a one-way ticket booked to Australia with no intention of coming home. I still went to Australia, but within a few weeks, I realized I wasn’t where I was meant to be. Booking that ticket home to be with him was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Everything that happened in my life before I met Andrew was just my story, but I didn’t truly start living my life until I met him. A few months later, we moved in together. A year after that, he proposed- on my birthday, December 8th.
Nine years ago, on my birthday, we brought Suri home. He was my first dog, and from the moment he chose us, I learned the true purpose of life. There’s a pain in my throat thinking of him today. I wish I could go back, even if just for a moment, to be with him. Even to tell my past self to stop taking moments for granted. Unfortunately, that’s not how life works, is it?
It wasn’t until I had Archie and Hattie that I truly understood the joy of life. Even when I was pregnant with Archie, I remember feeling how gentle and kind his soul was. I’m sure my friends remember me telling them that. And my sweet Hattie. Hattie is pure sunshine. You can feel the joy and love radiating from her little body. Truth be told, she’s just like her mama. 💛
I’m so thankful for this journey. Although social media often makes it seem like a highlight reel, I must admit the last decade has been the hardest and most painful yet. But I will forever be grateful for the lessons, because sometimes, there’s no other way to learn them.
Starting my own business’, Wren & Clé has unlocked a version of myself that truthfully- I always knew existed. Pursuing entrepreneurship with two young children and a plate filled with many other roles and hardships has been immensely challenging and humbling at times.
Thirty-six years on this beautiful Earth we call home. Happy birthday to my sun-filled soul.
