reflections Saturday, January 1, 2011

As I look back at my last 25 years of life I no longer think "what if" rather I'm thinking "this is where I'm supposed to be".

My life may not be "perfect" in your eyes but i'll let you know to me it is.

In the last 3 years alone (2007-now) my life has changed a whole lot. I'm not even sure where to start..all the things that have happened since March 17th, 2007 have brought me where I am today in my life. Some of it overwhelming, some of it beyond heartbreaking, & of course scary, & exciting parts as well...

I've been asked by people "if you could change anything about your past what would it be?" well in all honesty I wouldn't change a thing. If I did then I wouldn't be where I am in my life or have the amazing people I do have in my life ♥

2007 :

March - started dating s.d

April - moved in with s.d

June - became engaged

July - became pregnant

October - broke up & moved back to Calgary

During that year (2007) many people whom I thought were my friends walked away...but there were a select few that stayed true (i'll get to those wonderful people later).

         McKayla started in-home therapy.

July -McKayla stood on her own by pulling up to the coffee table.

July-December - McKayla started to walk holding your hands, the coffee table, ect.

2011 has just started by 18hrs...& I'm excited about what is to come...I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for, including my Momma..the most amazing & beautiful daughter ever, & the most amazing boyfriend a girl could ask for.

I am a rich girl ♥ my life is perfect for me...
