This weekend went extremely too fast for me; but it was one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. You ask why? Well, because I pampered myself to two beautiful days of *nothing*. Well, I shouldn't say nothing. Mike and I did run errands on Saturday and I did go food shopping on Sunday, but overall I relaxed. And relaxing is just what this young lady needed. Working a full-time job, attending graduate school, doctor/sonagram visits 24/7, tutoring AND observation.... I think I deserved some well needed me time.

Thanksgiving was amazing as always; I hope yours was too. We spent the day and evening with my side of the family. All 24 of us, at my dear Aunt and Uncles. We love going there for the holidays' (and in general). It is always packed with my loud, funny, beautiful and heart-warming family. They all remind me how grateful I am to be a part of each of their lives.

A big thanks goes out to my Aunt, who had given Mike and I an immense amount of baby items. We are so thankful to have her in our lives and for her generosity. It is what kept me up until 1:00 AM on Friday and Saturday night.... folding and putting away numerous amounts of baby clothes. And trust me, I did not mind being up that late taking care of baby duties. It is what truly makes me happy nowadays. (Oh, and decorating for Christmas of course....)

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. We finally got our blowup Reindeer and Santa outside; I am so estatic to have these fellas up. After work on Friday, I was pulling up to the house and to my suprise, Mike put them up for me! Sometimes that man really knows how to put a smile on my face. I took some time here and there over the weekend to decorate the inside of our house; I must say it has such a warm and cozy feel to it. Just how I like it.

What are you thankful for this holiday season? Don't forget to count your blessings and to never take anything for granted..... life is too short and beautiful! Embrace what God has given you.

Therapy helps in many different forms. Writing for me, has always been a form of therapy. This blog will be the key for anyone out there to get to know me. To see what I see, to maybe even feel what I feel. To educate those who fear the unknown. To bring light to peoples lives. To show everyone just how strong of a woman, I truly am.

I've always dreamt of sharing my thoughts, words and insights. Always dreamt of what my approach would be. What would my blog be about? I've sat for weeks wondering how I am going to share my life with all of you. My blog will ultimately be about the woman I am about to become. The woman I once was, and the woman God has destined me to be: A mother.

This will be the first one of my many blogs in the upcoming days, weeks, months and years. I am very excited to share a side of me that no one has seen before. A side of me that I never knew would be existing. I will bare secrets to all my readers that I never in a million years thought I would be sharing.

So sit back, grab a box of tissues and get ready for a ride that I am sure will bring happiness to your heart, tears to your eyes, and a new insight on how you look at my life.
