Well geez, this one is hard! How do you narrow it down to just one? Not sure.
For our family? It's probably that my husband came home from his deployment safely, and has been with a major airline for a year now... that first year is rough. It's lots of commuting, training, and being away from home. We missed him being home, but now our family schedule is starting to even out a bit. And we're all glad for that!
For me? I think it would have to be my birthday this year. Why? Well, it happened to coincide with our family vacation. I lucked out! We decided to celebrate a bit more this year due to my hubs being deployed to "sand land", so it was sort of celebrating his homecoming + my birthday. So, we decided to go on a 7-night cruise! It was a win/win!!

| Yes. We're that family with the matching shirts. |
So yeah, all of that was great... but what made my birthday the best this year? We were in Honduras on my actual birthday.
I had scoped out all of the excursions, and they were fun... but I found one not affiliated with the cruise line that looked like even more fun. It allowed us to tour more of the country, as well as visit a sanctuary where we got to play with monkeys, birds, and (wait for it)... SNUGGLE WITH SLOTHS!!! Some of you may be scratching your heads right now, wondering why sloths excite me so much. They're like my spirit animal. 😂 We share the same amount of energy, we move at about the same pace, we like to eat when we're not sleeping, and we like to snuggle. Twins, right?
I mean come on, look at this picture & tell me you wouldn't be so excited to be snuggling with this sloth? I could've stayed there all day long. It's my goal to go back because I clearly didn't get enough sloth snuggle time.
I think by far, snuggling with a sloth was the best thing that has happened to ME this year.
