First the blog has recently had a total revamp. All the old posts are gone, or waiting to be rewritten. I am starting over now. Starting a blog about life in my world. I'm not going to try to force things. Just going to let it do it's thing. Now onward!
My daughter was born nearly four months ago. From that day on my life has forever changed. My life is a beautiful mess at times, and I love every second of it. I'm married to my first love, and my best friend. I have a home I feel safe and welcomed in. I feel like I belong in my own skin for the first time in years.
I find that my day is spent doing a hundred little things that need done, and still missing ten or so. One thing I never seem to be able to keep up with is laundry and my coupons. I am currently two weeks behind on my coupons.
My life is somehow extremely quiet, to me anyway. This dawned on me this past weekend when my family was in town for Easter. My little girl, Harlee, was way worn out by the experience. Our life consists of mostly hanging out on our own. My husband, Josh, usually wakes up an hour or two before he has to get ready to leave for work and gets home very late at night. His days off are mostly spent doing things for work, so for the most part it's me and Harlee. About every other Saturday she visits my mom for the night, we call her Loli. We almost always see her at least once a week though, even if Harlee doesn't spend the night. About once a week we go to the store, maybe, and every few days we make the trip to the end of the block to get the mail. Also every so often we might see a friend out and about at the store, or one might come over but it's rare. So quiet life is an understatement. Still my daughter does not live in a bubble, and is actually a very social baby. Just maybe not more than two or three people at once. I don't think I have ever had her around so many people as I did this weekend, in fact I know I haven't. At the end of it I think she was as ready as I was to get back to the quiet life. We are looking forward to getting out more and hanging out with more friends now that she's a little older, and flu season is over.
So my life is still ever changing, but it looks as if all these changes are good ones. I am happy and content with my life. There's still a few things here and there I'd like to iron out, but it's getting there. I am one very lucky girl.
