a time not so long ago...
when i said i will never:
- stay home on a weekend night (haha...and i thought i would hate it. that's even funnier.)
- not be a totally focused career-woman (hiiiii, link!)
- put my kid on a schedule, b/c isn't that so annoying?! haha. (can i also say how thankful i am for "healthy sleep habits, happy child"??? maybe the best book ever!? dr, weissbluth, we love you.)
- work-out in the mornings...(coming from the woman who now runs at dawn and gets to the gym the moment the childcare opens. at 8am. :))
- continue in my baptist-raised tradition with my own family (if you know me well, you can ask...it's been a long journey over the last year...fair to say, i'm baptist. an apathetically democrat voting, not-your-typical-baptist, but none-the-less, baptist, mama)!
and so much more. life has changed a lot, and really most all of it has been good. :)
but so much has changed so quickly. and not that i was ever the type to tell other parents, friends, family, how to live their life or raise their kids, but inside i had my own thoughts and opinions on the above and so much more. it's amazing, the more i give of myself, the more i discover about myself...and the more i let go and give, the more i learn. i know that i have by no means figured it all out, but it is nice to see myself discovering new things. i just gained another year and can't wait to see all that is in store for me to learn. on my own, with my family, and with my friends. i love and am thankful for you all. :)

Katy, I don't think I have ever commented on your blog before, but I found it through Holly's. This is all so true - isn't it amazing how such a little person can change your life. :)
I think the 30's are such a great time of getting comfortable in your own skin and beginning to grasp what is really important in life. I love hearing about your journey and I love you!
Good post, my guess is you'll be voting republican by 2016...

Great halloween costume, BTW. Wyatt
Thanks peeps. And Wyatt, you can dream, kid. But as long as there are tea party-ers, I'll be distancing myself at all costs!
it makes me laugh that you thought you wouldn't like staying home on the weekends! scott and i were so excited to have a REASON to stay home and not go out!! ha!
