Crush of the Week…The Obamas! January 23, 2009
So normally my crush of the week is a man but this week I had to pick our new sexy President AND his gorgeous wife/First Lady. They are such a beautiful couple and with their daughters they have a gorgeous family. I love that you can see their love for each other just in the way they look at one another!

Time Flies…my baby is 2! January 12, 2009
I realized this morning that I have been somewhat neglecting my blog lately. I guess with the holidays and everything going on lately I just haven’t had much time to write but I know I need to get more consistent in my writing, especially since it helps a lot to talk about all of the things on my mind.
With that being said, yesterday was my baby’s 2nd birthday! I cannot believe that my little man is already two years old. It really feels like it was just the other day that I found out I was pregnant; the rest of this time has been a blur filled with many ups and downs. It amazes me how at the instant that he was born, Alex began to change so many lives. He has truly been a blessing and although he is quite the independent little boy now who at times makes me lose a little bit of patience, I simply cannot imagine my life without him. He has given me the strength I never knew or thought I had, the confidence to do things I never thought I would do, a new sense of purpose and most importantly…he has restored my faith in love and happiness.
The last two years have been filled with trials and tribulations. Many long nights filled with tears and frustration. But as I was telling one of my best friends and really one of the people that has truly helped me get through the last two years, I can honestly say that I feel like life is falling back into place for me. I decided weeks ago to start getting rid of the “toxic” people in my life. My phone/email/instant messages have been SO quiet since then and I am so happy it. It’s nice to be drama free and with my new hectic schedule I just don’t have time for people in my life that are there to bring me down. Most of my days now start at 6am, and between work and school I don’t get home until at least 12-1230 in the morning, five nights a week. I know take the time to truly enjoy every moment I have at work, school and at home with my family and of course with my little man. I barely have time to breathe, let alone sweat the small stuff so for the first time in years I feel at peace and like everything is going to be alright. I have definitely waited long enough for this time in my life, and although I know I have a long way to go, I can now finally see the light at the end of the tunnel I have been in the last few years and it’s an amazing feeling…
Here are some pictures of Alex and I…the day I brought him home from the hospital, on his first birthday and yesterday on his second birthday!
