Who knew.

A year ago I was still getting used to the idea of being pregnant, being that it took so long to get to that point I had some trouble getting used to it. It's wierd to think back now to the points before we finally managed to get pregnant and realize how I was trying to shut myself off from the world, I really was very depressed.

In the past six months I cannot get over how much I have changed, Ive lost weight, I go out and I CARE about what I look like. The days of sitting in my pjs (maybe because thats all that fit?) are over! I love being outside and going and DOING things with my kids. I feel bad a bit about this but I attribute all of these changes to Grace. She is the perfect baby and she just melted away all the nastiness I had brewing from the years since Cameron was born.

I just went into work and asked for more shifts so that we can hopefully buy a new house and rent out ours sometime next year. I am hoping to start some courses to get a degree in October (money permitting), I am actually DOING things! I feel like I fell into a black hole after Cameron was born and it just got worse and worse, don't get me wrong I love the kid but I just wasn't in a good place and Grace has made all of that go away.

Another scrap page

Made with the July kit from JustCre8, lots of Cosmo Cricket Early Bird, Bazzil cardstock and brads.

Journalling reads :

They say that the first birthday is a celebration for the parents making it through the first year. For us that seems very fitting! A lot has changed in the last twelve months, you've grown, learned to crawl, walk and talk (a little) and you have tons of teeth! You have quite the personality, demanding yet oh so loveable and busy, busy busy! Some days it is a chellenge just to get you to sit long enough to eat. We have been through a lot of sleepless or sleep deprived nights but they are all worth it when you give us slobbery baby kisses, hugs and cuddles!

I just love how this layout turned out. Did this for a challenge at lets scrap after finding some photos of the hubby on our wedding day that were taken by some close friends. So shows his personality.. lol

I don't post enough.

Clearly I don't post often and I want to get into the habit of posting more. I'm not sure what all that will consist of but I know I want to start posting some of my scrapbooking stuff. We shall see how things go as Im still trying to figure out this blogging stuff.
