No Place I'd Rather Be

I was just sitting down with Caden while he was having a snack and I realized something. I realized there is no place in this whole world I would rather be than with my family. I really do love my new job. I've been working for about a month now and it is the first nursing job I've ever had that isn't terribly difficult or stressful. And I get to work nights while Caden is sleeping and I don't really have to work a lot at all. The best part, though, is the 17 days off... :) I pray that I don't have to work any more than I do because I love being a stay-at-home Mom. It isn't always easy, but I really do love spending time with Caden and watching him grow. Yesterday I took him outside and he stood on his own (without holding on to anything) for atleast 30s. I know he'll be taking his first steps any day now. It is so great being a Mom. Being the one your baby wants the most and feels the most secure with. It really is wonderful- hard at times but wonderful. It is expensive to live here in Calgary, but I know we'll be OK. I just want to have a loving family, and I thank God for the family he has blessed me with. :)

Jeff and I are going on a "date" tonight and I am very excited. Yesterday he brought me home flowers so I knew something was up *smiles* :) I know how you felt, Kristin! *lol* We haven't been out together (just the 2 of us) in a long time. We are going out for dinner and a movie and that is exciting in itself because I haven't been to the theatre since I was pregnant. I know! Caden's Grammie and Grampie Jones and his Great Grammie are going to babysit tonight and they are going to put Caden to bed so Jeff and I can stay out for as long as we want. I am hoping we can go for a walk before we come home- that'll be nice. And I need to get Caden a new outfit because we are getting our family photos done tomorrow. Caden is usually great with the camera so I hope they turn out. :)
