the beauty of the world around us

Well it's officially fall...and getting colder and colder. This morning was the first morning that I had to scrape and defrost the car windshield...AND now as I look out the window at work...it's snowing (This happened yesterday afternoon and I just posted the blog today...sorry...didn't mean to frighten anyone!) Amazing how the weather changes so quickly and the seasons just seem to go faster and faster by with each year passing. I remember vividly enjoying the summer and thinking to myself that it HAS to last forever.

I'm not really a winter or cold weather girl (actually I detest it), but I know that I have to make the best of it. This year I am determined to get out of the house and finally pick up snowboarding. It's been something that I've always wanted to do (and should have since I grew up in NY and had 2 ski ranges within 15 miles of my home!). So this year is the year...well at least until January comes and I'm swamped with nursing work!

So...a little more about me. I've never been married and yes...I have a kid. It wasn't anything planned, but it was the BEST thing that could have ever happened to my life. It's been a long, hard road, but with the help of all my friends and family, I've been able to get through and in the process try to make something of myself.

To catch up on the past 5 years and the wonderful joys of being a mom I'm adding some pics of my wonderful son, Brady.

This is Brady (on the left) around 3 weeks old, sitting in the boppy pillow and on the right he's about 8 months old, one of the first smiles I ever got after waking up from a nap!















These pics are when Brady was 7 mo. old, taken by a friend photographer.












A few more of my favorite pics...Brady always had a serious "face" as a baby, so this pic of him at 7 mo. old is a classic! The next 2 are from the spring/summer of '05






















this on the left is Me and Brady on our first vacation to Disney in 2006 with the Friends for Life Conference (more details on that to follow...) and the following pics are from our summer of 2007 and Halloween.


So...now since everybody realizes...yes, Brady is my life. Sometimes I think that my life didn't "really" begin until he came into being...at least the "adult" side of me!

But I love him to death...and I have so much more to share...so stay tuned to MY LIFE WITH BRADY:-)
