You've got better things to do than read this blog post. Trust me.

Gosh, what a stressful couple of weeks it's been.

I've been shoved out of my comfort zone in so many ways. Moving, family get togethers on both Ryan's and my side, visiting friends and family for the last time for awhile, cleaning, packing, orginizing, traveling, planning, blah, blah, blah! 

So. Due to the situation, you guys get a crazy, mental blog post for the day. 

(These are my favorite. When it comes to other people's blogs. Not necessarily when it comes to my own.)

A fun fact (actually its not so fun, to be honest) about me is I have had some serious anxiety lately... ugh. What happened to the calm, cool and collect girl I used to be?

Oh, right. She's been chained up and buried by stress and is nowhere to be seen.

"Poor baby RosaLee," right?

"She's such a whiner." 

That's right. Sometimes I am a whiner.  And sometimes I feel sad. 

And I'm so far from perfect that sometimes i feel that its pretty much a total lost cause.

But you know what? At least I realize that. And I'm working on it. 

But for now, I'm going to complain because quite frankly, life can kick you in the face sometimes. And that hurts. 

And yeah, I know....

"Sometimes it's not all about you."

Brilliant.

But this is my blog so if you don't like reading about me then.... Yeah. Click that little x in the upper right hand corner...

  Anyways, for those of you still tuned in, and on a brighter note; life is a blessing.

Trials and failure build character.

Stepping out of your comfort zone will help you grow and learn how to thrive in the situations your thrown into. Leaving my comfort zone has only lead to good things in my life and awesome progress.

I truly love my life and the people in it and I am eternally grateful for the love I receive from friends and family. 

And through them and through a lot of effort on my part I will find a way to become that collectively relaxed and comfortable person I once was. 

And maybe I'll start yoga or meditating more.

 Or not. 

Wish me luck!  ✌

Bragging rights

Okay, so if you havent noticed yet, I like to brag about my sweet little girl! I just love her so much! I feel like EmmaLee has made leaps and bounds in pretty much every aspect. She is a little over 14 months and She's learning and growing so much! She communicates so well these days. 

She can sign "please" "I want to eat" " I love you" she folds her arms during prayers. She says "hi" to pretty much anyone she sees, and is very sociable (as long as no one tries to touch her.) 

She pulls up her shirt all the time and points to her belly button and says "beebu." When she needs a diaper change she says "bum bum"

When I'm laying on the ground she likes to  pull up my shirt and point to my belly button. Then she presses her face up against my tummy and blows so it makes a funny sound, she loves to make people laugh. And I'm always laughing, she's so goofy and we have a ton of fun. 

She waves bye, gives people kisses, and every time she hears the moped drive up the drive way she squeals "Dada!!!!" 

The other day at church she looked right at Ryan and said "hi Dada!" It was so cute. Church is getting easier. She's starting to get used to staying 3 hours and there are less tantrums. 

We went camping with her and she did great! It ended up being a ton of fun!

She's always asking me what things are. Right when I get her out of bed in the mornings she starts pointing to things saying "whassat!"

She LOVES it when I read her books. She says "buk" and points to the book she wants me to read.

She says thanks, but it sound more like "ss"

She is sweet to other babies and has learned how to be soft. 

It's amazing how much she understands and the things she is able to do at such a young age. This is such a fun age. 

She throws tantrums, sure. She tests me when I say no, yes. But it is so great that we can communicate with each other so well now. 

I love being a mom!
