How have you changed in the past 2 years?

This is day 2 of my 21 day challenge. This is fun.
Ok so how have I changed in the past two years? well let me just say I have changed in every way almost humanly possibly haha. Two years ago, I was pregnant with my Camden alone in Lubbock Texas with about 100 boxes full of all of our household goods in our apartment getting ready to make the move to join my sweet hubby in Dover Delaware. That was a very difficult year for me I must say. I was pregnant, Chris had been on medical hold for his heart surgery for nearly 7 months that was keeping us from moving and finally being a family again. It seemed like we had lived apart for so long. We had only been married for 3 months when he left for BMT (basic military training). He was only supposed to be in tech school for 8 weeks but it ended up to be nearly 7 months because he was on medical hold. Needless to say it was a difficult time only seeing each other on the weekends but it was so worth the wait. I remember finally landing in the Philadelphia airport and seeing him standing there in his uniform waiting for me. I jumped into his arms immediately and gave him a big kiss.( it was the day after our 1 year anniversary which we had to spend apart but we knew that it was not going to be long until we didn't have to be apart anymore) Our wait was finally over and we were going to be together! Just in time too because i looked like i was about to pop! We drove to Delaware, moved into our beautiful new home, and got settled in very quickly. From there, alot more has happened.
1. After moving out of Lubbock for the first time in my life, the most important thing we wanted to do was find a good church home. Mission accomplished! We visited Southside Baptist Church a few times and knew it was the perfect fit for us. Our church family is so wonderful and such a blessing.
2. The next big thing was the arrival of Camden! Becoming a mommy is the biggest change I have ever gone through, yet completely the easiest to get adjusted to. He was such a beautiful healthy little blessing and we were immediately in sync with each other. It was so natural for me, becoming a mommy. He is truly the most wonderful part of my life.
3. the next big change in my life was learning to live on a budget. If you knew me before i got married, i apologize if I ever came off a spoiled rotten brat, because that is exactly what I was. I have really learned how to live on a budget, I have learned the value of money and what things are important, and definitely gained some responsibility. It was definitely all for the better I must say!
4. Another way I have changed in the past 2 years is my cooking skills have definitely improved. I have found a new love for cooking and I LOVE trying out new things so if you have any good recipes, send them my way!
5. Another change in my life would be getting pregnant AGAIN! Cayson will be here in about 4 weeks and I know this will be a big change in our family. 2 babies are WAY more than 1, or so I have heard. I am not too worried though, I am just excited!
Well, those are the big changes that have happened in my life the past 2 years. All wonderful and I wouldn't change a single one!
That's all for now!
Much love and God bless,
-Sarah
