I Am Because...

I have seen this on lot's of other Mommy blogs lately and thought it would be fun to do it too!

I'm weird because...

:: I hate wearing socks and shoes

:: I love having clean clothes and doing laundry but I hate folding it and putting it away

:: I cant remember names for the life of me but I can always remember what someone is wearing

:: Pretty much anything can make me cry

:: Whenever I used to go to the grocery store and it was time to checkout I would have to pay for everything in a certain order. Ex: all dairy had to go together, boxed and can food, frozen etc..

I'm a bad friend because...

:: I'm not good about calling 

:: It might take me days to get back to an email

:: It takes me awhile to let someone into my life

:: Sometimes I cancel at the last minute

:: Sometimes it's hard for me to forgive

I'm a good friend because...

:: I'm a good listener

:: I would drop everything to be there for one of my friends

:: I am pretty good about remembering birthdays and important dates

:: I never take for granted the friendships I have

I'm sad because...

:: My family all lives so far away

:: My daughter is growing up to fast

:: Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to give

:: For all the children out there who are neglected and abused and who deserve to be loved and taken care of

I'm happy because...

:: God always, always takes care of me and my family

:: My sweet daughter Chloe

:: For my husband who has been my best friend since the day I met him over 6 years ago

:: This is the  first Christmas we get to spend as a family of three

:: Of this amazing community of Mom bloggers

:: I have such wonderful friends and family

:: I have a roof over my head and food in my belly

:: It's so fun to watch Chloe grow and learn and reach new milestones

I'm excited for...

:: Chloe's first Christmas

:: To get a Christmas tree and decorate it together as a family

:: To find a church we love and can get involved in

:: For my really good friend Erika and her husband Eli to welcome their first baby in January

:: To be celebrating 2 years of marriage in February

:: Chloe's first word

:: Moving back to Chicago
