As August comes to a close (I can't believe it), I've been thinking about the summer and how different this one has been from any other summer of my life. I mean, duh Katey, of course it's different, you have a baby...that's what you're thinking, I'm sure. But, no matter what people say or tell you, you simply don't realize how much a baby changes your life, for the better....it's simply the best.
I've never really LOVED what I do for work, never really had a passion for a career like some do, and I've tried every job under the sun it seems like sometimes. I do enjoy selling real estate, because I love helping people get what they want, explaining to them what's going on, the ins and outs of a transaction. But it's not something I'm passionate about, by any means.

I do however, love being a mother. I truly feel as though I finally found the career I've been searching for in my adult life (and to think I only had to carry it around for nine months and have major surgery for it!)
I love cataloguing and experiencing her changes right along with her, I love her snuggles, when she grins while she's sleeping, reading books with her, helping her stand up, walk, eat...I love making her food and seeing what she likes or doesn't like, taking her on walks, and watching other people react to her because she is SUCH A HAPPY CHILD.
I never in a million years thought I would have this much fun as a mom...it was always this vague "in the future" thing to me, never something I spent a lot of time thinking about. I mean, I think I always knew I wanted to have children, and especially after meeting Jonathan I knew that I would love to be a parent with him, but I wasn't planning on having one for a while longer. And now that she's here...how many times have you heard "I can't remember life before (s)he was in it". That is the truest sentiment I've ever known, now that I've lived it. Thank you, Ashley, for helping me find my calling.
