Round Two

So, as it turns out, I have written a blog here before. I looked at the date. November 10, 2009. That was 3 or 4 days before I found out I was pregnant. It seems like just yesterday, although so much has happened since then.

2010 was a busy year for the Slees. First and foremost, came the birth of our beautiful son, Gavin Matthew on July 25, 2010. The event of his birth was so monumental. I could have never guessed some thing or some one could change/impact my life in such a way. The change was immediate. As soon as we met I knew I was a totally different person. I wish I could describe it in a way that would totally convey what I mean, but the love I have for my son is so pristine. I cannot put what I truly feel in to words. Divine. Pure. Natural. Beautiful. As lovely as those words are, they do not even cut it. I could only ever wish for all of my friends and family to know such a feeling.

Also in 2010, we bought our first home. It was a close call for sure. We had to jump through a lot of hoops to get our house. Even explaining it in my mind is exhausting, so I won't bother wasting your time, but I will tell you this: It has totally been worth it. We had been wanting to leave Toledo for a while and have finally accomplished that. We can't deny that living in Toledo has put us in the place we are today. We rented a house on Berdan avenue. It was a nice house, but given the location it was (what we considered) cheap per month. We were able to say money on rent and gas because the Berdan house was very close to Matt's work. That definitely helped us out.

I can't complain much, life has been good. Work, for the most part, has been good. Lately I have found it very frustrating, but it wouldn't be High Point if it wasn't frustrating. One source of my frustration has almost left and I hope that doesn't mean another will arise. I try to take every day with a grain of salt. At the end of the day I love what I do and the people I am surrounded by and I think that is what really matters. All of the other office politics and dramatic crap is not what matter.

I will end with that statement. I hope to start blogging more. I liked that feature on MySpace, but let's be honest- The place is a wasteland. There isn't much of it going on Facebook, so we shall see how this goes. :)
