The Little Things

What a great weekend! I always appreciated the weekends when I was working at an office full time, but now that I have a family of my own I appreciate them so much more. I just love when we can spend quality time together and to capture all the precious memories with Faith. We fit in a bbq with good friends, a day at the zoo, and a family graduation party. I feel so very grateful when we can all share special times like these and it seems that Faith values our time together too. I feel so very lucky and try to hold onto these memories so that I have them at the forefront of my mind when a rough day comes upon me.

I have another new project which is just great, even with a repeat client so that always makes me feel better. I'm working away and trying not to take on too much as the weather makes it too hard for both Faith and I to stay couped up inside for too long. It seems that this little girl is taking after her mommy and daddy in that she loves to be outside. So while I'm working to contribute as always through my work and to keep my name out there as a preferred provider, I am trying to really balance it out so that we can continue to enjoy days at the zoo, the park, and even the pool if it keeps warming up. It's hard enough to be inside when you work in an office, but when you have a sweet little girl pulling on your leg and sweetly saying "out" it's pretty hard to turn that out. That burst of excitement and little laugh when we get outside makes keeping a realistic workload a major priority these days. I can only hope to keep up with the quality of assignments that I am working on right now with the quality of clients that I have--doesn't always go that way but for now I'm cherishing the little things as long as I can!
