It's been quite some time since I have blogged and I feel like I need to explain why and the answer is quite simple. I'm enjoying being a mom. My blog has fallen to the bottom if not completely off my priority list. But while I'm here and blogging I will give as much of an update as I can. Scarlett is 7 months old and I have no clue how the months have flown by so quickly! She is such a sweet sweet handful! Hahaha she really such a happy happy baby she smiles and loves everyone! Seriously I will be in the store and she will be reaching for people standing behind me in line! It really has opened my eyes in a way that Scarlett doesn't care what people look or smell like she doesn't care about their job or financial status or anything like that and I know she doesn't know or understand these things yet (not that they really matter!) just that she loves everyone! But she is a handful only because she is so curious and independent. She went from crawling to pulling herself up onto things in the same week! She loves baths, dogs, everyone she meets, blueberry and purple sweet potato puff snacks, car rides, stroller walks, Daniel tigers neighborhood tv show. She doesn't LOVE babyhood but she eats it every now and again. She takes two naps a day and her bedtime is 8:30-9 and sometimes she sleeps through the night sometimes she wakes up 1-2 times. She always wakes up for the day at 8. She plays all day long!!she is go go go 24/7 she says mama and dada and baba and she shakes her head no. She has the cutest laugh in the entire world and we are so in love with her! Being a mom is the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I have ever done! I could not ever imagine or be happy living a life without her in it! She really is my whole world and I am beyond blessed to be her mom.
In other news I got a new job! I work at cirque lodge drug and alcohol rehab. And I LOVE IT! I have always wanted to work in an environment like this! So positive and friendly it's so uplifting and truly such a great facility! I enjoy EVERYONE I work with which hasn't happened in a long time. It feels good to be even such a small tiny part in others recovery and success. I couldn't possibly speak highly enough of this place!
Zac and I celebrated our one year anniversary on September 14, we spent the day in salt lake shopping and eating and enjoying ourselves while my sister Katie and her husband Devin watched Scarlett for the night. It's been such a crazy year! Being married and bringing a baby into this world but zac makes it easy. He truly understands me on every level and has patience beyond measure. He rubs my feet and shoulders every night! I'm so lucky to be married to him and I honestly never thought I would have the life I do with him I never thought we would end up here but here is the best place I have ever been and I wouldn't want to be without him ever! His love and support have brought me through many many many hard times. He is my rock. And I simply love him, and there will never be the right words to tell him how much I love and appreciate him but I do. And in the words of rascal flats "every long lost dream, lead me to where you are" so true, so fitting. I had so many ideas of where I would be and I didn't think it would be here but all those dreams I was chasing and lost did lead me to my incredible family. So here's to our first year and countless to come!
I would post a zillion pictures but I just got a new phone (from which I am blogging) and I don't have/ don't know how to upload all my photos. I'm clueless when it comes to technology! So there is a small update! Maybe I will blog more often...with pictures! Maybe.
