The things we do for each other...

It is amazing how much time a little baby takes up....but he is worth it! I will have to say that this boggling of motherhood and wifehood is a bit tricky. I blink my eye and Connor's looks have changed. And, I blink my eye and Sean is back at work to provide for our family. It is so hard to be a part of it all, but I feel that I am doing an ok job at this....I mean, I m keeping up with laundry...so life is good, right? I am just sitting down after a whirlwind of a morning, 2 loads of laundry folded- third in the dryer. 3 mile run complete. Connor's been fed 3 times already. The house is picked up. Read a fun book to Connor (Mig the Pig). I have noted more items in Connor's baby book. Sean's laundry is put away so he doesn't have to do it after work. Clean dishes from dishwasher put away. Clothes donated to goodwill. Car washed.....egh! And, now it's 2:00pm and I am beat....so, why not relax and blog while Connor is sleeping....it's so hard for me to sit and relax as there's so much that still needs to be completed....I can easily see how many women end up never finding time for just them....so, while Connor naps, and now that my boring blog has been updated...I'm off to paint my toes and sit in the sun! I can't imagine how this is all going to work when I go back to work...I guess I am going to have to give up on freshly folded laundry or something along those lines!

One year....

A year ago today, Sean and I left for our honeymoon!

A year ago yesterday, Sean and I made a promise to spend the rest of our lives together.

A year ago, two days ago....Sean and I were dreaming of the BIG day with much anticipation.

A year ago, three days ago, we had our rehearsal practice and dinner with family and close friends.

A year ago, four days ago....my sister and her family arrived and we welcomed them all in with a combined family cookout.

It's amazing that all the planning that took months only lasted for those few amazing days. This past year, our life has been a crazy life....but in a good way. We decided to start a family of our own, without much a due, we succeeded only after 2 months of trying. Sean interviewed for a job promotion, but the timing just wasn't right this year. Maybe next year. We survivied the bad economy; as Sean supported it with purchasing me a car much to my dismay. We went to Indians games, countless date nights-savoring them prior to our little addition. I sent Sean on an exciting valentine's day hunt (we all know he'd love for me to do that again...) We laughed over silly stuff including the time when Sean's wisdom teeth were pulled- he doesn't do well on vicodin! We put our condo on the market to move onto the next stage of our life. And we shared the joys of welcoming our son into the world.

They say the first year is the hardest, but it's been the best year of my life. I can't wait to spend the next 50 years with him, vacationing, talking, laughing, sharing, and eventually retirement sitting on a front porch in our matching rocking chairs and an iced cold glass of lemonade!
