Mostly my heart is full and I am happy. Pictures of Olivia seem to best articulate my emotions. At least they do for me. How much love and adoration I have for her. How proud I am of her. Her achievements, her growth, and how much she's changed. I love her for who she is and where she is at now and I look forward to the future with so much excitement.
With this in mind, something has been pulling at me lately and that is the need to make a few changes in my life.
I realize that being a mother and a wife that now more then ever people are depending on me and I need to be strong.
With it being January I guess it's makes sense. To kind of recommit and have a few goals.
In the previous years I had more physical goals. To be more fit, to grow my hair out, to get some dentistry work done and for the most part I think I have obtained them.
This time it will be more intrinsic .
There will be plenty of goals that I want to set, but I want to address only one today.
This year I want to focus more so on others. Specifically those in my family.
My husband is the first person that comes to mind.
These last 2 and half years we've overcome many obstacles and encountered many blessings. Our home and daughter being the biggest.
With trying to juggle bills, two working parents, keep being healthy and active, a baby, and maintain our marriage I feel I have slipped and dropped the ball in a few areas.
Olivia is nearly a year old and things are getting easier as far as being a mom. She's sleeps through the night now (She has for a while), She's drinking less bottles, eating more solids, and is almost walking. I am getting into a better routine that gives me more time to work on things.
This year I want to rekindle and treat my husband with the dignity and respect that he deserves. I want to be kinder, more trusting and forgiving, and less accusatory.
There are so many areas that I have failed him. I want to be better. I wish he knew how much I really do look up to him and this year I'm going to make it more apparent so there is no question.

It brought me to tears. I know I succeed in a lot of areas, but I know all too well that I have been this wife on occasion.I have cared more about being right then about my husbands feelings.
I admit I'm human and I admit weakness. I know I am a good mom and a good wife, but I can certainly be better.
I wanted to share this because I'm don't think I'm alone in this. I want to encourage other girls and family members to join me in treating our spouses with kindness, respect, love and equality.
In return I think our relationship will blossom and be stronger. Which will only benefit each other and our cute daughter. I know that having a strong family unit is everything and I want that badly.
I love you James! You are my one true weakness. I still get weak at the knees for you. You are the love of my Life a great Dad and one good looking man! The man of the dreams. I hope I can be the same for you.
