Just a quick update on my life since 2013 ;)

~

SO it's been well over a year, almost TWO years since I last posted on this blog. I am back and we will see how long this lasts this time. I really want to be a "good" blogger but I guess first you gotta have the right content right???  I won't say my life has been anything short of a reality show the last year and a half. 2014 was a breath of fresh air compared to the rough pages of 2013. Let's see where do I start?

Big change in my life starting in September 2013. A lifelong hope of being a nanny came true! I was welcomed in to a beautiful, loving home. Ruby Joy has been the center of my world since! Daily she amazes me. It's been so fun to see her grow up. Starting at 18 months to a now 2 1/2 year old. Somehow I think she is actually 2 going on 17 however. Of course God would place the sweetest, sassiest, smartest little girl on the planet in my care. I constantly get comments on how cute she is whether I am in Alexandria or Minneapolis. She literally is a small Minnesota celebrity. 

Apparently I found my niche' for now because after I was offered the full-time position as a nanny, so many other nanny type opportunities have fallen in to place as well. I have worked with so many wonderful families and even gone to Paris with one family! 2014 must of known how bad 2013 
was and was a little extra nice to me. Or maybe it was just the way God intended it to be. I feel stronger then ever.

I have always been a free spirit and not quite sure what I wanted out of life career wise. It has bugged me a lot at times that I don't know. I am not at all surprised that I sit here as a Nanny and I am writing to you because it is nap time. Along with the Nanny feature, I also have been able to work within a small business platform which to me is the best of both worlds. I work along side such wonderful REAL women who all have similar goals and values. Every day is truly a blessing and FUN. YaY for creative days rather then boring days sitting staring at numbers on a computer in a cubicle. For those that can do that, God bless you. I have surrendered to the cubicle and I hope to never work in one again. Cross my fingers!

Life has a funny way of kind of just working out. Nothing is forever but I feel nestled in right now at something I enjoy and mostly who I enjoy it with. Ruby challenges me and keeps me on my toes. Her age is totally fun because she can communicate almost anything now. I laugh to myself when she has her dramatic moments of elaborate toddler emotions. It's so hard not to. Someday I will tell her all about when she was 2! When asking her to pick up her toys in which she had managed to sprawl out ALL OVER in less then TWO MINUTES the other day, she dramatically replied in exasperation, "this is terrible!" Oh girly, if only you knew.... 

Nice thing with a blog is, you can write whatever and whenever and whoever wants to read it, can. My blog is mostly for my own creative juices to flow and for me to verbally express my appreciation for the little things in life. And maybe vent a little too. ;)
