2011: It's Over? Already?

I am looking forward to the new year.  I'm happy for another chance to reach for those goals I have for myself and time to spend with my little family.  Being able to watch my little girl grow and blossom and learn new things.  I love being a mom.  L-O-V-E it.  I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but I really didn't know if I would adapt well, if it would suit me, if I was going to be strong enough to be someone's mother.  I know I am only a year into it, but it feels like two puzzle pieces fitting together: a perfect match.  I am hopeful that we will be blessed with more kiddos.  Someday.

I am also sad that 2011 passed in such a blur.  What with being new parents, figuring out our groove, dealing with the stress of quitting my job - yet doing exactly what we felt is right for us - and watching our baby...baby turn one.  It went so fast, I wish my brain could hold on to those memories and images a little bit better than it has.  This time next year we will have a two year old and I will be thirty.  Kinda crazy!  On the other hand, I am so grateful for this past year and if it is any indication of things to come, we have a whole lot of awesomeness ahead of us.  So, bring it 2012!
