Final Friday

There's not a lot going on here at the Maxson residence. Derick is working a lot, and me and Logan have been home cuddling and enjoying our last few days together before my return to work. I can feel the chaos settling in already. A routine will be nice, however. I am sure I will have a lot more to say on Monday... Until then. Stay tuned.

...Recovery

So.... exactly12 weeks after having a c-section I landed myself in the operating room once again. My gallbladder has been removed. I went into the entire thing as "no big deal... I had a c-section which has got to be worse." WRONG!!!!!!! The only thing worse than the the first 24 hours after my gallbladder removal was hard labor itself.

Its been 48 hours and I am feeling a lot better. Thank Goodness.... Moving along...

I used to love to write, yet I haven't really written anything for some years. I want to attempt to write everyday... Which may be hard, but I need to learn to get back into it. I let so many things go in the past few years. I truly feel like I am in a happy place and I want to keep it thay way. By recording the little joys of everyday. Maybe one day I will be as good at this blogging stuff as Emily Brauch. (Not holding my breath)

This is going to be our family blog and give updates of me, Logan, and Derick.. along with me attempting cake decorating... and attempting to lose the weight.... AGAIN.

Full speed ahead... and here we go...

Life Changes....

I've always been starry eyed. Big dreams and determinations. My first 20 years of life I was kind of just struggling to keep my head above water... to keep breathing. The next 3 I ran away to see what this world had to offer. Then it happened. I got married and settled down and the most brilliant thing happened. I gave birth to my son. They call it a life altering event for a reason, because it is. It was almost as if a light switch was turned on. All the holes in my heart were filled. My blurry vision became clear. Motherhood changes you. It makes you appreciate the simplest things and thank God for them. Waking up to a tootheless baby smile. Wow, what a beautiful gift each morning.

Back to the big dreams. I always wanted to be a writer, but life got in the way. I gave that up. I have a career and I am good at it. I say career, because to me it isnt just a job... I enjoy it. I do not love it. For the last few years I have been baking. I love to do it. It makes me happy. I think partly, because it reminds me of my Grandma. I love the look on my husband's face when he comes home and I have made a tasty treat. I

I've piddled around with the idea that I want to decorate cakes for the last few years. I see the shows on TV and I always thing... "I could so do that.." Finally... I am gonna stop talking. I am gonna start doing. I am going to take a few classes and practice, practice, practice.

The ultimate goal would be to run a small business from my home... So I can be with my son and do something I love.

I will do this. I have given up on things in the past, but with this.... I'm not. I wanna do it.
