Love. Life.: January 2013

It's amazing how life can change so quickly. I am thankful for new opportunities and for having the support to do just that. I started a new chapter. I started a job. I was so lucky to have been able to stay home for two years with my little girl. I got a call out of the blue. I wasn't searching. Didn't have any plans to start working. But about one week later I started. In that time I was able to find B the best care and try to prepare myself as much as possible. It was hard. I never could have imagined the emotions. Ever. A few of the biggest things for me to think about was 1. having B be around kids her age and learn in a structured environment and 2. putting her adorable, sweet and beautiful artwork on our fridge. That last one...really got me through a few hard times. My daughter is resilient. Smart. Independent. Stubborn. She's not afraid of changes. In fact I think she thrives off them. She never cried. never once. But this mamma did. A lot. The first day wasn't as bad as I thought, thankfully. I enjoy my job, and I love being a mommy.

On a separate note...
My brother was kind enough to take miss B and I out into a park and snap a few (or a lot) of pictures this fall. I love these photos. I will cherish them for forever. I am always disappointed how I am always behind the camera and not in front of it. I'm trying to change that. Ladies, snag someone to take pictures of you and your kiddos in a fun outing. So worth it. Here's my start. I'm in love...
