Anniversary

Yesterday was an anniversary of sorts.  It marked one year to the day that I got pregnant.  How do I know this?  I just do!  Its crazy that one year has gone by and so much has happened.  Here is my year...
  • I found out I was going to be a  mommy.  I  cried for days but knew I could do it. 
  • The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I got my letter of acceptance in to the Westminster school of nursing.  A dream come true but now I wondered if I could do it with a baby.
  • Drew and I decided it would best for our family to get hitched
  • On New Years Day Drew took me to Memory Grove and asked me to be his wife.  And I said YES!
  • In January we found out that we would be having a little girl join our family. I was shocked and excited and her name would be Payton.
  • On February 21, 2009 I married the man I have loved since I was only 17.  I was crazy about him from the start and although we had some hard times we made it.
  • In April I finished my first semester of nursing school. I was ready for summer
  • Then on June 7 our most beautiful baby girl Payton Grace Cassdiy was born.  
If you would have told me one year ago yesterday that all of this was going to happen in a year I would have laughed in your face.  Now as I sit here writing this post I hear my baby laying on the couch babbling to herself and sucking her fingers it brings tears to my eyes that I have been given this precious baby.  It was a long and sometimes hard year but I would  not trade it for anything.  I have made a promise to finish school for Drew and Payton and other children that may join our family.  It didn't all happen perfect but it sure is worth it.
