new life

i love my new life as a mom.

i have been thinking about how anxious i was that somehow i would lose a part of myself in this dreadful momland where everyone wears high waisted jeans and wants to homeschool their kids and sanitize everything and suddenly boogers and poop aren't gross and your hair is always in a ponytail and your mascara is somewhere deep inside the bottom of a giant diaper bag and you sometimes forget to put it on and you are so tired at the end of each night that you hardly make it to 10pm before you fall alseep on the couch watching a show and you wake up before the sun to start it all again.

well, all of those things... minus the part about high waisted jeans and homeschooling my kids... have happened. and i love it.

i feel more fulfilled helping this little man to grow than i ever have felt doing anything else. i still am who i was created to be and now i am just all those things i was working towards AND a mom.

its perfect.

living so thankful today...
