There are no returning footsteps.....

Its strange sometimes when you look back upon all the things that you have or have not done in life, and  realize how instances and different people help to make you the individual that you are today. I think that it is important to embrace bad decisions and less then ideal choices that you have made. These are the things that make up YOU. I haven't been proud of everything that I have done, but I am proud of the person that I have become. I think its important to forgive yourself for the less desirable things that you have done. It is important to be proud of the person that you are and if you are not, its time to reevaluate and figure out what it is YOU can do to be proud of yourself.

Family Ties

After a couple of consecutive weekends of seeing my family, I have come to the realization of how important it is to appreciate and enjoy your family. No matter what they do or what they say.....they will always be blood. And as the old saying goes "blood is thicker then water." I truly love being around all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, sister, parents, etc....it give me a sense of belonging. Because no matter what happens I will always belong to my family. I think that for so long in my life I searched to belong to something, but  it was right there the whole time. Adelaide is 1 now and its so awesome to see her playing with her cousins Kendall and Grant. I think that I realized that I want her to have what I had growing up, family always around and being able to play and spend time with everyone. Building a foundation for a child does start at home, but it also starts with love and who they interact with from the start. I guess I just feel happy and blessed that I have such amazing family.
