Opening up this blog with I recently turned 25, 5 years until 30, halfway to 50, feeling fresh, young. Yet this year huge things changed, I am married, so I am a wife, sharing my life and everything with my husband who rocks! Not only that but I am a new mother as well, so talk about learning curves all around. Not to mention learning about adulthood, budgeting, one income, fighting to work so I can invest in my daughter, it's a touch and go process, but I am thankful for God's provision.
Well spring has arrived, well we thought so until yesterday. As it snowed and snowed and snowed! LOL! But it's melting today and tomorrow thank goodness, cause I'm ready to walk, get out and about! My little Ellie is 4 months old and getting cuter everyday! My highlight as a new mother is her doctors appointments as I find out that she is healthy and the development and percentages of where she is growing! This next one my miracle is coming we get to talk introducing solids! I am ready for some help with her and also to introduce and embark on a new journey!
I am home, trying to get the cleaning schedule down, taking care of my husband, my baby, the house, and figuring out budgeting on one income. It's not hard, it just takes work & discipline. I'm not the best yet, and I'm learning!
But I'm enjoying it, and like any parent I'm figuring out how to teach Ellie some things that I didn't learn until I was a little behind. I was blessed to enjoy life, I worked sometime in junior summer of high school but I wasn't a saver, I was a spender, senior year summer, worked tons at Six Flags, spent it. Worked at a school cafeteria in college, spent it, six flags every summer spent it. I got to enjoy life in all of these moments but then Post College came and I had loans hit me. I am going to try and teach my daughter about budgets early. But I am trusting in God and I don't have too much debt but some, so I am trying to balance family life, student loans, living expenses, and also enjoying the moments.
I think I have let money fly out of my fingers, I mean, my discipline is if I don't love it, I don't buy it. So at least I don't buy just anything! But yep! I'm learning. At 25, and thrown into a few new roles, I am finally thinking about these things! But I'm not worried! I have God, I'm figuring it out, and hey in America I hear most people are in debt, or a few, but hey there is a way out, its discipline, focus, and motivation!
But at 25, I feel great! I feel like I'm getting more balanced, enjoying life, but becoming more disciplined! God is faithful. I love being a mom, my little daughter impresses me more everyday! She's rolling over, can stand with her own strength while I hold her hands! She is making funny faces, her newest one is sticking her tongue out and making some funny sounds! She doesn't cry as much! She is just so precious to me! She is great when we go to church! She loves to sit up, she falls asleep in the stroller as well as the carseat so she can be out and about and she's pretty good! Every morning when I say good morning to her she blesses me with a great big smile and everyday it makes it worth it to get up, God has blessed me with a beauty that I hope to raise up to be a complete lover of God.
I love being married, it's work, but it's the best work because you always have your partner in crime. We go on our date nights every monday and its a blessing, because we get to just go be young, have fun, and have an adventure! My husband and I love movies, taking walks in Chicago, and just enjoy an adventure! God has blessed me with an awesome man who loves God, and he is a wonderful bff!
Each day is a new day, God has something new to reveal! I pray you all have a great week! God bless!
