At the end of a very rough school year, it's nice to sit back and reflect on what I learned. I finally feel rested and have had some time to gain perspective.
1) I can manage to have control over my schedule. I feared commuting to Hoboken each day would be the end of me, but I managed and left on the last day of school with no regrets. I had a very successful school year, and feel quite accomplished.
2) I truly love children. I even had thoughts of becoming a mother this year. However, that idea is still up for A LOT of debate. Just because I finally know I'd be a good mother, doesn't mean I have to become one. I can love children and have them in my life without being a mom.
3) My marriage grows stronger every day. We may have rocky days, but in the end, we are still best friends. I can't wait to renew my vows with Doug this summer, on our 5 year anniversary. We have grown so much as a couple and I can't wait to see where the journey of our marriage takes us.
4) My friendships continue to flourish and grow, and some new friends have come into my life. I am blessed to have so many amazing people in my life.
