Happy Birthday Claire

It is hard to believe a whole year (and a few days now...) has gone by with my daughter... One year of making her be the best person she can be... The hardest, yet easiest, most rewarding and exciting thing I could ever have imagined. I love her.

I have always been a writer... that is what I wanted to be when I grew up if I didn't make it in ballet. My husband always tells me I should write for something somewhere. I would love that, but I don't think many people agree w/ me, and so my thoughts would never get read.

Claire will be one year old in 5 short days. Where did the time go? It is hard to remember when she could not hold her head up, crawl, talk.... now she is a chatterbox and is walking. She is the most beautiful thing in this entire world. I am so proud of her. I finally feel like I am good at something, and that there is someone who truely needs me in this world.

I set out into the real world this week. 40 hrs/wk job as a manager at Banana Republic. While it is not what my heart wants to do for the rest of my life, it is exciting. To finally not worry about bills, to be able to buy my girls things. Perhaps a new car. Life is looking up.
