It's now September almost October and since my last post a lot has changed for the better in our lives. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in August. We didn't do anything special but we did purchase our first car together. It's a beauty, it's a grey Toyota Camry and Sage loves it. He is the one who drives it the most. I'm not a fan of cars, I love my Lucy.
Anyways, Sage graduated, was sworn in and has started his new job. I'm so incredibly proud of his hard work and perserverance in his academy and getting himself to where he is today. Since he started his law enforcement career he's a whole new man. More confident, mature, educated, etc. Seeing Sage where he is now is a beautiful thing. I've known him since he was 15 and watching him grow into this incredible person has been truly amazing and I'm thankful share this journey with him. I can't say enough how much I love him and how proud he makes me.
On September 9th we took on a new, scary, exciting journey and moved into a place of our very own. We had been living with Sage's family since June of 2012 and decided it was time to be "grown ups" and move out. I enjoyed the time spent with Sage's familiy. Living with them brought me so much more closer to them. I appreciate and love Sage's familiy as if they're my own. I don't have much family here so I have enjoyed their company. Thankfully, my parents still live here but my siblings all live back home in Salt Lake so his siblings have slowly become my own while living under the same roof. Anytime I needed help with Ane or anything, his family was quick to help. I'll cherish the time spent and the memories of living with them.
Our new place is beautiful and I'm not just saying that because it's ours'. Everything is upgraded, dark hardwood floors, all brand new appliances, vaulted ceilings, shutter blinds. It's exactly what I would have dreamed of in our first home. It's not very big, just two bedrooms and two bathrooms but we don't need big right now, it fits our family perfectly.
Since moving I definitely am learning a whole new part of my role as a mother and a wife; I'm loving it! When we first moved in I was so excited to clean, do laundry, the dishes, etc. I look forward to straightening up my home for guests, I enjoy making our house a home by putting up decor. It's all very exciting and new to me.
Moving has also opened my eyes to how truly blessed we are. We have a nice home, nice vehicles to drive, and a gorgeous, crazy, hilarious little girl. Speaking of that little girl, our Anelia Dawn will be TWO next month. I don't know where time went. I spend my days watching Ane run around, say words, ask for things, where did my baby go? She's grown into a loud, crazy, beautiful little toddler. In the short two years that have past I have witnessed and felt a love that I didn't know existed until now. I am in awe when I look at my daughter, she is the absolute world to Sage & I.
Today, I am thankful for my husband, our home, our family - especially our parents who taught us to be the people we are today. They made us into the adults we are with their example. Also, most importantly, we are thankful for all of the blessings that He has provided us.
God is great and we are so blessed.
Happy Sunday, xo.
p.s. This is usually where I say I'm going to start posting more often but with our new, chaotic, life.. I'm going to try to update more often. We'll see how that works ;)
