(Hint: Swinging in the tree is not it!) Yup, it's having a baby. Or in my situation a budding toddler who will not stop growing up, even though I asked her nicely not to; several times.
I've never bought a round-the-globe plane ticket, or gone skydiving, or dyed my hair a crazy color, or made an audition tape to be on a reality show. But I did become a parent and that is the most life-changing and important thing I've ever done in my life thus far. I can't believe that my little angel is almost one year old. To be honest, it's been the hardest year of my life too, and I will never forget that. I am impressed by moms who don't feel the same way. Never have I smiled so big and felt so tired all in the same moment, been so happy and so low. I have never been more proud of myself for rising to the occasion and following through with commitment. I've learned so much about myself through her; about patience and sacrifice. I am so blessed by this healthy child who fills my life so completely along with my awesome husband, family & friends.

You look beautiful as ever, and I just can't wait to see that one-year-old of yours' in person. Coming back to NC any time soon? Fall has been picture perfect. Have a Happy T-giving! Love you
