Reagan Leigh turns one!

Yesterday morning I found out I was expecting then evening came and I was holding a tiny little bundle of joy. Through the night we both learned to love and trust each other with everything we had and today she turned one. That's exactly how it feels. I can't remember where the time went. The sleepless nights are long but the days with my sweet angel are short short short. 




January 5th very conveniently landed on a Saturday this year:) And in spite of Reagan being slightly under the weather we rallied the family for cake and ice cream.
She was very lady like about eating the cake. She would look at the cake ( very close up at some points) and then squeal and look at me to serve her some. She's so polite


In the end though she finally caves and took a bite about of the cake mommy made her and the cupcake Mimi made her. 
 Lil bit was very unsure about the whole gift opening, party hat wearing, song singing, candle blowing, much to do about her making. 


The last year has been such a wild ride of experiences both good and bad. I love being a mom and understand why people say there is no higher calling. I don't know what in the world God saw in brad and I that he thought was worthy to raise one of his precious angels but I'm so glad he sent her to us. I'm finding more and more that without asking Him everyday to take the day as use me to protect, teach, and love Reagan it is a complete waste to even wake up.

If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all...

October 23 was the last time I opened this blog and at that point the blog I started as an outlet for my thoughts I realized had become a chore. I felt the sense of obligation to the this blog that I was trying to escape from in my everyday life. And, worst of all, on the days I had something to say and no time to say it I added "my blog" to my list of life failures. I finally decided if I couldn't enjoy it, I didn't need it in my life. That should explain the silence on this end of the computer screen for the past almost four month. However, I have missed "unloading" at the end of the day so I am back to my blog.

Updates: Since last we spoke:)
-I am starting over with the 25 weeks of respect. I will NOT be giving a week to week check in on how each assignment goes but as one or two suggestions particularly touch my marriage I will be sure to share.
- I have lots of new recipes I am excited to share with you.
- My angel turned 1 year old and I will defiantly have some ( or a million) pictures on the subject.

Happy 2013! I hope y'all are as blessed as I am:)
