I was in a leadership training session all day today (yawn) and the icebreaker question that the instructor asked was, "If you weren't working here, what would your ideal job be?"
This is always such a depressing thing for me to think about, because honestly, I don't think I am skilled at anything that I would *really* want to do as my ideal job.
Today I answered that I would be a professional blogger. Now I can't think of anything professional blogger worthy to say. Sorry.
I am a lucky aunt for sure. I have been for about 2 and a half years now, and I just got a little luckier. I now have another beautiful niece, one who reminds me an awful lot of my little Leila when she was a baby.
I have to say that it is a little bitter sweet to know that that sweet little angel is hours away, but just looking at the pictures hurts because she is so stinking cute. I am amazed to think of my baby brother as a DADDY, but with the examples he has had in his life, I am sure he will be great. As close as the Howard family is, it feels so strange to have pieces of us far away, and going through such huge life milestones without us to support them. I hope and pray that Clay, Rebekah and Mabel know, the words of a cheesy novelty T-shirt I once saw in a drugstore in Tabor, "Someone in Iowa Loves You."
To mark the milestone of my 30th birthday I have started another blog. Don't worry, I am not walking away from Welcome to Motherhood! ;) I am adding a 365 blog. If it isn't something you are familiar with, basically, you post one picture from everyday of the year. As a full time working mom, I can't say that I will actually make that goal, but I am going to try. I won't be updating everyday, as that is basically impossible for me, but I expect to update at least once a week with a picture for each day.
