Changes....

"You never know how much you can love someone you just met until the day you meet your child(ren). It's the greatest love that exists."

I'm one of those people who likes to have a plan in life. I'm guessing that Joe has been asked at least once a day for the past 5 years "what the plan is" for that day, week, hour or moment. I am not a freak when it comes to change but am not a huge fan of it in some ways.

Having children changes everything. 90% for the better. The other 10% (in my humble opinion) is slightly annoying but not unbearable. I've never been a "skinny girl" More of the "big bones" type. I always thought I was fat and wasn't really in love with my body. Man would I like to have that body back again... but wouldn't trade my boys for it ever. Another thing that's changed, I can no longer eat chicken enchiladas or milk for some reason. The enchilada's were a result of a pregnancy with Jack. These and Chipolte too. However, (and I find this rather odd) I CRAVED (craved doesn't even do it justice) milk with Luke and now my body can't handle it. I'm hopeful it will change. On the other hand I hated salad before Luke and LOVE Cesar salad now. How funny that is to me.

My dear friend AM is moving away tomorrow. She's moving home to live with her dad and mom and be near to them. She's also hoping to open her own dance studio. I know this change brings for her mixed feelings of happiness at the new prospects and the ability to be near her family but also frustration at having to start over again and live with "the parents" in her 30's. I applaud her and JT for being brave and making this leap in life. I will miss her more then I can say. As my friend Jen once said, AM is one of those people that is an "insta-friend" She and I bonded and she's just the coolest person you'd ever want to know. I love you friend. I will miss you and can't wait to visit soon :) <------AM and I :)

Pregnancy does strange things, doesn't it? I used to love whipped cream. Now? Not so much.
