When I Grow Up

When I was younger I wanted to be just like my older sister. If she wanted to be a teacher so did I. If she wanted to be a nurse so did I. Even if she wanted to be a garbage woman so did I. (She never really wanted to be a garbage woman for the record but if she had I would have wanted to as well.) I eventually grew out of that phase and set my aspirations high. I was going to be amazing and successful. I was going to be a doctor. I think that was when I was about 10. Once I decided to be a doctor my mind was made up. People would ask what I wanted to be and I would always say a doctor. I don't know when it happened but sometime in high school I started to change my mind. People would ask and I would still say a doctor but secretly... I just wanted to be a wife and mom. My senior year I took a medical assisting class and started working in a doctors office. I soon learned that the last thing I wanted was to be a doctor with long hours away from my family. My dream of wanting to be a doctor changed just like that. I still had to be something so I picked the next best thing, a nurse. I would take a couple classes here and there but I could never stay focused for long. I knew what I wanted and it wasn't this. I had this longing to be a wife and a mother. Nothing else would suffice. Then one day after a very strange introduction I met someone. At first I blew it off. It couldn't be. What I was aching for was staring me in the face. A whirlwind later and I was married to my Mr. Perfect. Everything I have ever wanted he has given me. So with all that said I got my dream of being a wife and mom. It is better than I could have ever imagined.

Some updated photos since it's been so long.

 My feet are mmm mmm good.

Audri's first time eating rice cereal. After a couple of bites she started crying. It took 2 months for her to eat any type of solids without bursting into tears.

She loves her carrots. 

Dad is dancing for her. She loves it! 

Dad is tickling  her. She absolutely LOVES her daddy. He walks into the room and she lights up. Her eyes follow him everywhere he goes. 

Just being cute.
