Things Are Happening!

Unfortunately, I've been kind of absent from the social media bit lately, as you can tell. There's a legitimately valid reason, i swear.

Due to some lucky recent event, i went from getting 8hrs to 23.5hrs at work. My schedule is full! I work Monday-Friday. Matt still works his 40hr Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Once i get home, its 5pm and i have to get dinner on if it isn't done already, cuddle my baby, get her ready for bed and some nights do bath time.
I've remained faithful in taking Leah to play group twice a week as well. Its been a bit hard being away from Leah for so much of the day, i miss her like crazy. Fortunately though, i get to spend all morning with her and still be home in time to put her to bed. All my troubles, frustrations, and stress is left behind at the front door, because as soon as i hear "MOMMY!!" and see that sweet little face overcome with happiness and the biggest smile I've ever laid eyes on, running into me full force and knocking me off my feet, everything else in the world disappears. Doesn't even matter. She makes it all worth it. And this is making me a better Mommy.

Its been crazy and hectic, and once Leah is settled in bed Im ready to hit the hay myself. This was my first week and Im pretty sure its going to take a while to get back in the groove of things.

Im so thankful for the increase in hours. All of our debt should be paid off before the summer!

Also, we're secretly hoping, trying, and saving to go on a 2-3 day road trip out East. Back to my roots. Hopefully for about 1.5-2 weeks at the end of June, beginning of July.

Things are looking up! Finally.

Oh, and im also happy to admit that mine and M's relationship has improved! Things are just going so good at the moment. Im slowly trying to take all this in and just relish the fact that we have so much that we're thankful for.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel after all.
