Well, Hello

Hello friends, I know, I know, its been weeks. Weeks and weeks. I even have a list of post ideas written up and sitting on my desk... at home. Where am I? I'm on a business trip away from my gorgeous baby and super hot husband. While I enjoy business trips, I don't because I have a hard time being without my little family. Hopefully this trip will reap some good rewards though.

So, I have to show you all something new. Something that I love. Want to see?

These were the pictures we got taken for Baby Bean's 3rd birthday. I absolutely love the way they turned out. You would never know that my child was having a melt down just a split second before this picture was taken.

Want more?

Would you guess that these were taken a week after my surgery? There I am, in blue jeans, button digging into my belly button, and laying on my tummy. It hurt. But I smiled because I was so overjoyed to be in that moment. There, with my perfect little girl for her 3rd birthday. A day I never thought I would see.

Worth it. All of it, worth it. I am the luckiest woman to be a mother to such a sweet little girl. She is everything to me.

I had such a hard time with the thought of going on a business trip without her that I booked it almost 3 months in advance, so I would have time to work into the idea. And then she slept in bed with me Saturday and Sunday night.

These trips bring me such mixed emotions. When I come out here, I get to meet up with friends and coworkers, and we always go out for a night on the town at least once. We hit the pier and shop and eat and goof off like kids, even though we are all in our 30s. But the whole time I am wishing the days would go fast so I can get back home to my family.

I know this post is short, and kind of random, but I am going to cut it off here so I can go call my husband before he goes to bed. I promise another post will be coming soon!
