Sometimes Life Puts You Back Where You Belong

Today I realized that sometimes life puts you back where you belong. For the past 9 months my life was starting to go in this weird zig-zag pattern and I didn't know where I was going to end up. When Nate was born the plan all along was for me to move to CB with my family sometime around summer 2011. We are back on track. I have had some ups and downs in the past few weeks, but I've made some important decisions for myself and I'm no longer going to allow distractions to deter me from what I need to do; provide a future for my child and myself. Here are a few things I am going to work on in the next few weeks:

• Start my new job, enjoy it, and work really hard
• Get organized, get rid of clutter, and keep everything clean.
• Spend quality time with Nate.

It's already weighing on me that I will spending so much time away from Nate. I've gone to school full time and worked 2 part time jobs all at the same time during Nate's life, but I've never been gone all day, 5 days a week. I'm incredibly grateful that I've been around him so much for the past 2 years, because that's time that I will have in my heart forever. Now it's time to allow him to have space and to spend more time with his grandparents. I know he is in safe, loving hands with them.
To lift my spirits I wanted to share a then and now:
