"Sister"

Today my sister leaves Fresno to start a whole new journey in life. Actually, she's going to a horse show over the weekend, and then heading on to Santa Rosa, but either way she is leaving Fresno. It was hard watching her drive away yesterday knowing that she was going to just be a short drive across town anymore. Although, I'm super excited for her!! She graduated with her degree in Chemistry from Fresno State this year, and starts a 4 month internship as a wine chemist at St. Francis winery. Lucky for her, it's only a short drive from my parents house, so she'll have a place to stay until she finds a more permanent position. I think it's great that she'll start her new adventure with some familiarity. Although, selfishly I am sad to see her go. I'm sad that I won't be able to just call her to hang out. I know that I will still be able to talk to her, and I'll see her, but it's still different. Anyways, I'm cheering her on and wishing her lots of success!

Just a thought

Watching my lil man grow has been such a blessing. Although, I'm ready for it to stop now. This weekend I noticed his head is above the couch arm when he is standing, he can now reach for the tops of tables (but not yet getting anything) and he's ready to stand independantly. It's crazy because when I look at how much I have not blogged I realize how quickly he went from my small baby, to an almost toddler. He is so fun and loving! His laugh is contagious, his smile fills my heart with joy, even his cry can make me laugh! I say this because he doesn't cry often and when he does it's usually becuase he's over tired and just won't sleep. You can't help but laugh at the I'm tired so I'm going to just be cranky cry. Why? Not to sure. All I can say is I love being a mama! I love my life.
