Well, seems to me I am way over due for an entry. Truth be told I always liked the idea of blogs and thought journals but never stuck to them! A lot has gone on since now and then.
Where to start. My gram passed this year, shortly after Christmas after a long brave battle with cancer (the second time around). This was a deep cut to my very being and everything I am. I can't say that my gram and I were always close, I was a rotten teenager when she kindly and lovingly took me in and raised me. However, I always admired her. She was a passionate and outgoing person with an infinity for learning and adventure. She was my role model. I was happy that she got to spend time with her great granddaughter (Ava) on Christmas before she passed. Ava took to her like no other, all kids do, my gram has that vibe about her. It breaks my heart that Ava wont get to know her better. I am to make my gram proud every day which brings me to my next milestone.
I am finally going back to school! I have waited for this moment for so long. I'm following in my grams footsteps and looking to major in Early childhood education as well as teaching special needs children.
Moving on to the last milestone for now. Ava is going to be 1 next month...1 freaking years old, I can hardly believe it! I often look back at my difficult pregnancy and think God put me through that just so I could appreciate this amazing little blessing every day. Just some quick updates on Ava: she is eating table food and loving it, she can stand and cruise, crawl everywhere, say "dada" "mama" "nana" and other indecipherable babble., she is a camera ham, and currently has pink eye =( boo
So thats just a bit to catch everyone up. Sadly, I hear some babbling right now from a little girl who should be sleeping! Until next time.
