One Amazing Year!

Well, I didn't get the job I was going for.  I think it will turn out for the better though.  It would have been a huge headache for daycare, and the job I have now allows me to still be a stay-at-home mom while working, which is what I wanted the whole time!  My daughter just turned one year old on October 3rd.  I had a birthday party for her which was a blast!  Kids got to decorate cupcakes, make their own food and break open a pinata.  We had a lot of really good food.  She got to dig into a cake that I baked and decorated for her.  It was the best first birthday!  I can't believe my baby is one though.  This past year was filled with plenty of memories.  For the first half of the year, I thought I would never be back to my normal self again.  I had a c-section, ended up having cellulitis, had a homecare nurse over every day for like two months to help me take care of my incision that opened and needed to be packed, I had surgery to remove a lump in my neck a month after she was born, my dog had a litter of puppies the same day as my neck surgery (I had to take care of all of them), I broke up with Madison's dad, man the list goes on and on and on.  But things finally settled down this summer, and I am so happy to be where I am at now!  I wouldn't change any of it, well maybe the part about all the trouble I had after she was born.  I would definitely change that!
