Boss Lady

That's right I said it. After months of working hard and putting in 50+ hour work weeks I've been promoted to management at work and finally have my first real 'full time, benefits, paid time off' job. What a relief! And you know what? I did it all on my own. I've had a rough year, and this moment feels so great, I haven't stopped smiling since I got the call :)  

Happy Birthday Mom!

Last weekend we celebrated my wonderful mom and her birthday; this year was so special because I was able to see her on her day and to spoil her today with a mani/pedi. Now that I'm closer to her I appreciate all the time we have together and everything that we are able to do. This picture was taken on our trip to Chicago in 2012, it was our first mother daughter trip and I'm anxious for our next. We explored, laughed and took some amazing pictures. It was a trip I know I will never forget.
Happy Birthday Mom, I love you more than you know, and am grateful for you, and our close relationship everyday!!
