I realized over the weekend that I have changed A LOT in the past year. Before becoming a mother I would gag at the thought of anyone throwing up. Now I can witness the act and clean it up without thinking twice about it. Before, I would cringe at changing a poopy diaper. Now, I change several diapers a week and have even caught poop in my bare hands to eliminate cleaning the carpet. (maybe that was too much info?) Before, I laughed at the people that cried when their babies got shots...now, I'm the one crying. Before, I didn't understand the love a mother has for a child. Now, I can't believe it is possible to love someone so much. Before, I couldn't understand why anyone would take so many pictures of their baby that didn't even move yet. Now, I have almost 2000 pictures of my 14 month old child. I know..it's a problem. The list goes on and on. Being a mother has taught me a lot about myself (some things...not so good). But mostly it has taught me to be grateful. Being a mommy is great...and nobody told me how great a bear hug from your toddler is!
And YAY that my little sister has decided to serve a mission!! We're all so excited!
And I'm SO happy with my current job! SO happy!

Isn't it funny how drool, snot, and any other liquids (or solids) that come from your child just become second nature to us? =) But seriously, you've stated things really well. Being a mom really is the best thing in the world!
