Life is Passing Us By!

BIG changes in the Marquis family lately and so many good things on the way! It's been a rough past 6 years of struggle and FINALLY we are going to be reaping our hard work that we've sowed. We're in the process of buying Andre's childhood home which we will immediately begin remodeling and making our own. I'm so so excited. Reese will finally have a playroom and to wander he house freely (as it's a ranch style home). And no stairs means a better feeling me! I'm getting to the point where stairs are getting to be a bit much for me on a daily basis. So, that's our biggest news!

In other news, work is picking up and I'm feeling more accomplished with things at home and at work. There will be a super busy time coming up soon in my life with the move, remodel and everyday life, but it will be so worth it in the end. We will finally own our own home and we could not be happier.

Reese's 2nd birthday is coming up and it amazes me as it makes me sad at the very same time. I will no longer be counting her age by months, but now, by years. I have a toddler! She amazes me everyday with her vocabulary and her brains. She knows her alphabet and most of her numbers. She says her pleases and thank you's without reminder now. I'm already so so proud of the little girl she is.

Things with Andre could not be better. We have had so many rough spots in the past few years. We've really struggled. I now know that everyday we really do become stronger with all the obstacles thrown in our way. We overcome them and stand taller each time. We do not have a perfect relationship whatsoever, but I fall in love with him more and more everyday. Don't get me wrong, he still drives me nuts ;) haha but I look forward to being home with him and Reese everyday.

It's funny to think we're adults now....seems like just yesterday we were barely teenagers with big dreams.

Life is finally smoothing out and going our way. And I cannot get this smile off of my face.
