Life Adjustments


That picture right there pretty much sums up my life right now as I know it. I took it last weekend as I was cleaning. Kaitlyn's new cup had floated to the top and exposed her name. I literally just stopped and stared at it for a while. (And then of course I grabbed my camera) :) It made me think of how different my life was from a year ago. Yes, we were pregnant and getting ready to start our new family, but things had not really changed yet. We were staying up late, leaving the house whenever we wanted, having friends over until the wee hours of the morning. And now that is all different. But I 110% love my life now. I have to clean more, do laundry more, and strategically grocery shop so I don't run out of the baby essentials, but it is all worth it. Just one little smile from my daughter can make my whole day. Has the adjustment been easy? At first - honestly it was. Everything just came naturally. But after I went back to work it got a bit harder and I was exhausted each night. But now we've sort of got ourselves into a grove and have a set schedule that is working. Wednesdays are still really hard with all the church stuff Cody and I are involved in, but that's something we're going to have to evaluate together. I think some changes are in order there. Other than that, things are wonderful. Busy - yes. Hard - yeah, a little bit. Amazing - always. And like the cup in the picture represents - it's all for little Miss Kaitlyn!!!
