What we've been up to

Well it's been crazy trying to get all packed and moved but its over now so I have a moment to sit down and relax and catch everyone up on our lives! I've been kind of stressed out lately and it's crazy how many emotions come to the surface that I've been ignoring. Thoughts of my new body, and sadness of leaving a house that I've turned into our home, getting rid of clothes that I have become "attached" to (sounds funny but I seriously cried for about an hour), and just thoughts of how quickly my life has changed. It has been a good change but just so fast! I have lived and worked in Mesa for 3 years, got married a year ago, got pregnant 3 months later, had my baby in July and all of a sudden we decided to up and move about a month ago! I've never been good with change but I'm learning a lot from all of it going on! I've learned that my husband will love me even if I don't have the same body I did prior to being pregnant, and I need to learn to just love myself. I had a baby 3 months ago and everyday when I look at her I know that what it did to me was worth it and I would do it a million times over to have her in my life! She is so important to me and much more important then looking "skinny"! I love my house in Queen Creek and over the past year I have worked to make it our home and we have become so comfortable there. I loved everything about our house and I was trying to think of some way to just pack it up along with all our things and bring it with us! Scott then reminded me that we can make home anywhere and it will be even better being up in the mountains! And of course he was right! Now last are my clothes. I admitted to Scott that I think I am a clothes horder. I love my clothes...even the ones that are 3 years old, even the ones that I never wear! I find comfort in clothes and shoes. I find happiness in them. I realize that clothes are just so temporary! I had a period where I wore short shorts and I loved them! Giving them up was really hard for me but I now see that giving up little things like that (including my body) will lead to MORE happiness then we can ever know in the long run! I'm crazy I know! But I have such an awesome husband who helps me realize everything will be ok when I freak out over and over again! Thanks Scott...I love you! Ok now for the pictures...Here are some of EmmaLyn in her Bumbo for the first time, EmmaLyn in the pool sunbathing and relaxing, and a few of my crafts I've been doing incuding EmmaLyns halloween costume. I tried rotating the pics and some of them work and some didn't...sorry~
