The Big 30!

O.M.G. I'm 30.

I think I'm ok with it. There are a lot of people out there who dread being 30 but I accept it. I'm at a really great point in my life, I'm married to a wonderful man who is also a great father, I have a beautiful daughter (who's 3 wks shy of turning 3) , a house and yes, complete with a dog. I couldn't be happier with how my life is right now at 30. I'm looking at this as a new chapter in my life. What do my 30's have in store for me? I'm not looking too far down the line cuz I don't even want to look at the #40, now THAT scares the hell out of me, but luckily that's 10 yrs down the line.


I didn't have an over-the-top birthday this year, as it also landed on the same day as Thanksgiving. I spent my 30th at home with my family being thankful for everything that I have been blessed with. Kailyn helped me blow out my candles on my cake and just seeing the satisfaction and the enjoyment on her face just makes everything that much better.

Here's to another great year!

Priceless. :)

The countdown is on...

All I have been thinking about lately is how quickly time flies. It's only 3 more days until my baby turns 2 and I truly cannot believe it. It saddens me at the fact that she is growing super fast and is no longer a "baby". I mean she will always be my baby no matter how old she gets, but still the fact remains that she is no longer a baby.

Every day she proves to me how grown up she is. She is one smart cookie, although I'm sure all parents say that about their children, but she truly is. She is talking quite a bit, not as much as I'd hoped for her age, but she is and every day she learns a new word and attempts most words. The thing that proves to me how smart she is is how she can now read a few letters and words. Yep, that right, my baby can read! :) We go through the alphabet and she only has difficulty with a few letters. It blows my mind at how she's developing and it's happening very quickly. She is also a very loving and caring little girl, and very happy pretty much all the time (except when she's got a tooth coming, especially those darn molars). She is a great listener and will do what she is told every time, and she also makes us laugh beyond belief! I am really proud of the little girl she is becoming and I am very excited for the future and the new tasks she will accomplish.

That's all for now, as I will go back to what I was doing before writing this new post; looking at Kailyn's baby pictures. :)

The day Kailyn was born. 12/26/07
