bittersweet

Its kind of interesting. This word seems to be defining so much of my life right now. For instance, our dog had to be put to sleep a month or so ago. Some would say no big deal to this, but if you had any idea the significance of this dog and what she has meant to my family, you would understand the loss. The sweet end of that story is that we got a new dog today. She is cute and dad really seems to like her which is great, but she is no Al.
Next, moving, man I love my roomie and my new apartment and everything that has come along with it, except the break-in and buglary of my car, but we won't go there. Its beautiful and i Love my new little life. Then comes the bitter end, in my move, I have let go of my family a little more. Thats kind of a good thing, but again its just a little bittersweet.
Work is pretty good, until I actually have to, then it sucks. I love the job, I just wish I had to do it a little less frequently. I love my management team, but they too have some things that make me really unhappy.
My son is amazing. I love to watch him grow and do new things,but everyday he gets closer to being a rebellious teen, then an adult. This sounds great, and i wouldn't trade it for the world, but man I miss his infant cry, and his baby cuddles. I love it when he looks at me and tells me how much he loves me out of the blue though. Its priceless. He is incredible.
There are so many pieces to this puzzle we call life, So many emotions, and usually they all drop on us at once. never just happy, or just sad, never just bitter, or just sweet, ALWAYS somewhere in between!

A new beginning

I never thought I would be blogging, but it seems to be much easier than journaling and definitely easier to keep up with everyone.
Easter is coming and I am so excited! I can't wait to watch Aiden hunt this year! He is getting so big and so smart! It amazes me that he remembers so much.
This week Nan has been working very diligently on the potty training thing. It has become quite normal for him. He's not out of diapers just yet, but we're moving in the right direction.
He loves to play with other children. he loves going to church. Finally, no screaming when we pull in to the parking lot. And he is so excited to go to his class! It makes it so much easier for me to go and learn and study when I know he is safe and happy.
ACN is amazing. i am so grateful for the company and the opportunity to make a difference while building my own wealth.
I have been reading, well, listening to a couple of great books lately. I recommend audio books to everyone. They are so much more fulfilling than music and quite honestly, they offer so much more than your standard song.
Off to work I go. Hope all is well for all of you!
