Life Happens

So, hello internet and whoever comes across this blog, I haven't posted here in 2.5 years! A lot has happened since that last blog post. My life has changed drastically. So here's the short version: Dimitris and I had a baby girl, Olivia Renay, on January 30, 2013. We just celebrated her 2nd birthday! She's been the light of our lives and we are so proud to be her parents. I decided to become a stay at home mom and breastfed her until she was 20 months old. (you don't know the battle of breastfeeding until your in it but I was victorious!) Dimitris didn't get that out of town job but did start working for the Postal Service last August. It pays the bills. 

What have I been doing? Well being a mother and wife. I've tried to add income where I could; making loc jewelry, crocheting, photography. Nothing really is panning out. I did get the chance to do a seasonal job as a school photographer this past fall and it was great. All I had to do was go take pictures...not sell them. It was fantastic. I met some cool people too!
I've also gotten back into writing poetry. A friend started a monthly open mic night and wrangled me in. But the odd thing is...poems just started flowing and it's awesome to get back into it. I didn't realized I missed it until it was gone!

So from now on I will be sharing more experiences
and more writing and more everything. I'm still trying to find my place so bear with me...
