UPDATE NÚMERO UNO:
It was with greatest pleasure, to introduce myself as MRS. SMITH (only 6 months after the fact). Yep, it's all done and over with. I'm an old married lady now. And I absolutely love it! I loved being married before, but I love it even more so now. Jake and I tying the knot was the last piece of the puzzle that completed the security of our family. No, I am not saying our family is complete. It is nowhere near completion (more children to come in the future. Not sure how many, but for sure one more.), but Caige not only, has a mommy and a daddy, but a mommy and daddy who are husband and wife. It's the best feeling in the world. I have the most amazing husband! Jake has always been great, but I think him taking on the role of "husband" on top of "father" has placed his priorities on a totally different level. Not saying this have changed that much, but he's more of a man now than I've ever viewed him before. He's a provider, a nurturer, and is doing everything he can to make Caige and I as comfortable as we possibly can be. And for that, Jacob, I thank you I couldn't imagine having anyone else by my side. Taking his last name is an honor.

UPDATE NÚMERO DOS:
Caige.
Oh this "not so little" bundle of joy is growing like a weed. I can't believe next month he is going to be a year old. (That goes to show how awesome I am at keeping up on my blog...NOT.) He is so advanced physically, it's crazy. He's full on walking (almost running), talking, climbing, eating solid foods, and so much. It blows my mind how much time passes when you're a parent. Everyone tells me, but you can't really fathom until you have children of your own.
With his birthday only weeks away, people are already asking me when we will be having another one. I would LOVE to have another one soon, but we want to wait. Only until Caige is a bit more independent and on the verge of potty training. If it happens before, we won't be mad! We're definitely planning on having more, but we would like to plan this next one.
Now, it's 2013. I don't really have any New Year's resolutions because, let's face it, who actually sticks with those? I have the typical goals: be healthy, swear less, be a better person, blah blah blah. I needt to focus on my family and friends. I need to learn to let go a little. I don't hold grudges, but I'm really bad about dwelling on things in the past that hurt me. I need to learn to let go of those hurt feelings, and realize that things can and have changed for the better. I need to learn to trust more. I need to learn to relax, and stop stressing over things that are out of my control. Typical girl stuff, right? I've taken up exercising again, which is helping with my stress and anxiety.
Ok, so there wasn't an over abundance of things to update you on, but the important things. Another goal of mine is to do better at writing my blog! Have a lovely day!
XO
