things are starting to settle down around here. life is pretty good. i’ve got the most beautiful, adorable baby girl and a supportive husband. i don’t have to work and so get to spend all my time with my gorgeous girl. we just got to visit my parents up in burlington, ontario, ca. and our trip was a lot of fun. i miss my family like crazy but my mom comes home around every six weeks so i still get to see her. our puppy has an ear infection and i feel so bad for him because i know he’s had it for a while and i should have taken him to the vet sooner. but he’s on some medication and i can tell he already feels better. the baby meanwhile has learned two new tricks, she now does raspberries like crazy and she has learned to screech. so she sits in her little car seat, very content just screeching away. my mom and i took her to a movie and she was actually watching it and having a great time. and i have since realized the importance of and how much i want a college degree. i’m still trying to figure out how things fit together but so far, everything has just come together beautifully for our new family. and now, for the first time in so long, i am just so happy with everything. i can’t explain it. i wrote better when i was single and depressed but i feel better now that i’m not. i think it’s because i know that i’m needed now. it’s a very good feeling.

ciao bella.
