Simple Update
Emily and I are getting happily settled into our new life. Emily is absolutely thrilled to spend every day playing with Uncle Jacob!! She is quite the Grandpa's Girl, even though if you asked mom she'd say Emily's a Grandma's Girl~ Emily's vocabulary has expanded tremendously! Every day there's new words and phrases! Last night she said her own name for the first time....unfortunately I have yet to hear it... She knows who everyone is and also responds to & understands all commands. She is so content and always so sweet & loving. She remains to be the happiest baby that I have ever seen! She's also the tallest one-and-a-half year old that I have ever seen. She is taller than her new friend Lakota, who happens to turn 3 in August! I have always said that she's my little super-model!!
I am loving my new job! I work in the Birthing Center at St. John's hospital in Longview. It is so wonderful being right in the middle of all of the new babies being born! I even was lucky enough to hold a brand new 11-hour-old baby girl for almost an hour! Talk about perks of the job! It's a commute from home, but the 30 mile drive goes pretty fast both ways.
Needless to say, I am very satisfied with my life-changing decision for my daughter and I. Things are swiftly moving in a very positive direction for us. She is obviously happy and I, too, feel SO MUCH better... at home... with family~

Being your Mother
My dearest Emily Jane,
Being your mother has been the greatest gift I could ever imagine... You have completely changed my life, and I am forever grateful! Nothing has ever been so important, or meant so much. The past 18-and-a-half months of my life have been so incredible! Watching you grow and learn, and develop into the most beautiful and amazing little girl... I am so lucky! Every day I am so thankful that we are together.
I'd also like to thank you for the mother that you have created in me. I am a new person, with a whole new set of values, responsibilities and priorities. And the love in my heart that you have created!! I am so full of love for you! My cup runneth over.....
My angel, my heart... you are so forever loved

We're Moving!!!
Emily and I are moving up North to live with my momma!! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for this change! We need this so much; I've lived for much too long alone, without the support of family near. Now with my precious Emily, I need family more than ever before! And I want more than anything to give my daughter the gift of family.
I am also very excited to be closer to my precious Brentie and his amazing girlfriend, Sarah, whom I adore with all of my heart! Seeing them any time I want will be so easy now! (Maybe they'll be even closer soon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!) And my sweet baby brother, Jacob.... I have always wanted to be closer to him, to be there for him, and to see him grow up! To attend all of his games and school functions! Now I can, plus Emily and him will grow up together!
I have needed this for so long..... I'm so excited that I finally made the decision! It really couldn't have come at a better time~
I am saddened to leave our best friends, but we are so close, I know we will see each other and our friendship will continue.... distance cannot seperate! It will give us opportunities to do fun things together, like meet at the zoo for a day and play at the huge park!!!
