Friends & Blogging

I want to first start off by saying I have the greatest friends in the world. When God blessed me a few short months ago with the job of staying home with Avery, I must admit that I was nervous. Nervous about what I was going to do with all the time on my hands, and more so about just being alone all of the time. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle that seeing that I am very out going and love being around people. I am not much of a home body although I like rainy days like today to just lay in my pjs all day, not take a shower, and find something to clean! I have just found recently that there are so many people that stay home for me to bond with and get to know. I feel SO blessed for that. On my own street, (2 neighbors, and a girl across the street), are 3 girls that stay at home with their babies, and 1 has another on the way! That itself is a blessing just knowing they too are home and doing the same job I am! I am going to start walking with 1 of them, just have to get the other 2 and we will be golden! Here is a shout out to Leah, Amanda, & Sara!

On top of that blogging has allowed me to get to know so many sweet girls that are in the same boat I am. I have yet to meet a few that live in NWA but plan to do so very soon. I have a good bud in St. Louis that I feel like I have known all my life. It's kind of weird! And both these girls I am talking about both had babies girl exactly a week after Avery. CRAZY!

The reason in me telling you all of this is because God answered my prayers. I was so scared of getting depressed and feeling alone and cooped up even though I opted for this job and wouldn't trade it for anything else in this world. The only job I want is being with my daughter everyday! So if you are feeling this way, get a blog. Make new friends! It's been a passion of mine over the past year to blog my heart out and share my ups and downs with people, my joys in life, and even at times my heartache. Some of the girls I talk to on here will be life long friends!

Speaking of, today I went to lunch with my friend Kelly and Melissa who both have blogs and are on my page. Miss Kelly is precious and will be on the news tonight about blogging so make sure and stop by her page tonight. She is a doll and has been a pleasure to get to know. Melissa has an awesome blog and has so many fun things to blog about! She's a sweet pea and we always have so many fun things to talk about. Check out our pics below!

Thanks to all my great friends, blogger friends, and new friends, old and new! Life has truly been a dream come true because of EACH of you!!!

Me, Melissa, Kelly, Harper, and Avery:
