the new year...

It's 2014 and so far, this has been a great year for me! Seems like things are finally going my way. My luck may have changed for the better. I feel the best I've felt yet, I'm making great friends and meeting new people too! Life is great and I'm loving 2014 thus far!

By far the best thing that has happened to me this year was on January 24th at 12:07am. My beautiful niece, Abigail Grace, was born. My sister did an amazing job at bringing her into this world. Although, she helped confirm my decision of wanting an epidural. She was a trooper but boy did that look painful! Abigail was born weighing 8 pounds 7 ounces and was 21 inches long. She has been a perfectly healthy baby girl since. She's keeping Hannah up most nights but that's pretty much expected. I try to spend as much of my time with them as I can. Abigail can change so quickly and I want to be present for it all. I even got to be the first to babysit her while Hannah and Dan went out to dinner on Valentine's Day. I love my time with her. I just can't stop looking at her and kissing her cute little cheeks!

School has been going great! I begin to take guests on the floor on March 11th! It is so crazy how fast classes have flown by and how much I've learned. Seems like just a month ago that I started and I'm already four months in! I am still loving it, as I assumed I would. I'm really bonding with the girls in my class. The girls in my class are so wonderful! I really feel like we're family. I feel like I would go above and beyond to help pretty much anyone in class and I feel they'd do the same for me. It's such a great feeling to know you have the support of so many. Even better, I get to hang out with these girls three days a week! I feel very blessed.

I've been seeing a handsome guy and he's made my life just that much more exciting. He's thoughtful, kind, caring, funny and extremely good looking. I have so much fun when I'm with him. He's even gotten to meet mom, Dan, Hannah and Abby! They all approve. Hailey loves him possibly more than she loves me. He even brought Hailey a Valentine's Day present! How thoughtful is that?! Things are going great and I hope they continue to grow and only get better! I'll keep you all posted. :)

I'm going to wrap up this post with pictures of Abby cause she's too adorable not to share! :)
