Just some things that have been on my mind.
So...only one follower but at least 5 people read this every day....maybe some of you should follow me so I don't look like a total loser! :)
I've had a few things on my mind the last few months and wanted to share.
1. I have no clue how my mom raised my sister and me by herself. It would be so hard to do it alone! Yeah, we went with our dad once in a while, but anyone who knows that story knows he wasn't the typical father. (Sorry if that offends any of my relatives, but you know he didn't always make the right decisions.) I am so thankful I have Aaron here to help me, I don't think I would ever get to shower, eat, even go to the bathroom if he wasn't around. He works so hard for us too, I love how he is so willing to do whatever it takes to provide for his family.
2. People need to be reminded of the saying "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Seriously! Example: Rylea was less than 1 week old and I had already had two people tell me that they think breastfeeding is gross! I don't care if you think it's gross, and why do you think you need to tell me??? I shouldn't have to feel like I need to defend doing what's BEST for my baby! Not everyone is able to breastfeed and I was lucky to be successful with it! I wish I would have told them about the things they do that I think are gross! Like smoking for one... Ahh! I'm still mad about this!
3. I can't keep a plant alive, how am I keeping this baby alive? I have two plants my mom gave me after my baby shower and they are now burnt to a crisp. I have a picture I wanted to show you but the camera is throwing a temper tantrum and will not cooperate.
4. Mommy brain is a real thing! I have never had so many 'blonde' moments in my life as I have the last 3 months!
5. I am so much more paranoid than I thought I would be, I always have to remind myself to not get too worried about little things. I don't know how the families that I nannied for put so much trust in someone they just met!
6. Anyone that knows me, knows that I love sweets... a lot! And I can now say that a long, HOT, shower is way better than any dessert!

We'll see how this goes...
Well here's the first post...I'm not really sure why we're on here, I don't feel like I have a lot to talk about, but maybe that will change once I get going.
I'm going to be more honest here than I maybe should be but here it goes...Aaron and I have known each other for 2 1/2 years now and we had our little girl, Rylea, on June 1st, 2010. Even though it wasn't something we were expecting, we are loving every minute of being her parents. It's work, but it's an AWESOME job!
We aren't married like the traditional family, and we don't know what will happen in the future, but we both believe that it's more important for parents to make sure they have a good committed relationship and get along well than to have the title of husband and wife. So we'll see what happens and for now we aren't forcing anything and just taking it a day at a time.
We love our little family, we learn more about each other and ourselves everyday, and it's only getting better!
