A lot has changed in the past few weeks, but there is much more change to come in the near future.
For starters, I'm obviously a mom now. That in itself comes with a lot of change. For me, this change was for the best and has made me have a whole new outlook on life. There are things that are no longer of importance to me and there are new things (Marissa in particular) that my whole world revolves around now. When I was pregnant I had some people tell me that I would regret getting pregnant "so young" and that I would be missing out on some of the best years of my life. Well, I know it has only been a few weeks as a new mom, but I've partied since I was 15 years old. I've gotten so drunk I've fallen down, passed out, got some great pictures along the way and had some crucial hang overs!
My case in point...
Don't Ask...
Dance Party
The Girls on my 23rd Birthday at Tim's
Bachelorette Party in OBX
Bar Dancing/Singing
Shots in Mexico
Okay, I think you get the picture. We were border line alcoholics, lol! I've left out many, many incriminating pictures along the way...we'll save those for another day. = ) But my point is that I've already had some great memories partying with friends, lavish vacations and hang overs that felt like they lasted a week. I was ready for the next chapter in my life, which is why we decided to start a family. I have to say, this chapter so far is better than any drunken night I've had! But with this change, I think we will find that our friendships are going to change as well. And it's no ones fault, we just aren't able to go partying like we could before, we have someone now that depends on us, for everything. We hope to stay in touch with friends but we know that it will be more of a challenge now.
Secondly, one of the biggest changes that is soon to come, which also happens to be heavy on my heart is my best friend, Cierra, is moving to South Korea for a year. Yeah, a YEAR! She leaves in October. I won't be able to just pick up the phone and say hey and catch up (not that I really have a lot of time on my hands to do such a thing these days) but still. I will have to set up a Skype account so that we can stay in touch and we will have to schedule "dates" due to the time difference. Plus, Marissa needs to know who her "Auntie C" is. I'm so happy for her that she has decided to make this change, but I will miss her dearly. She has always been the one friend that I can confide in and be myself, 100%.
Change is good, change is inevitable. We learn, we grow, we evolve with change. Right now, I wouldn't change a thing in my life. I have an amazing husband who loves me unconditionally, a daughter I adore and so much to be thankful for!
