And so I begin

Hello, blogger world. I have done this many times before. Written blogs. Worked on them for a long time. Fell out of touch with them. Restarted. Fell off the wagon. Deleted them. And restarted them.

Why am I starting "This is my life?" Well, my life is full of SO MUCH. I'll have plenty of opportunities to share what that means, but this weekend I had such an epiphany. My "A-ha" moment. Where everything became clear. The fog rolled away, the stress that has been pounding through my veins dissipated. And I felt supremely grateful.

I have so much "amazing" in my life and I want to share it. Document it. Appreciate it. This past week I also learned that nothing lasts forever. Nothing at all. So while I am surrounded by so much "good stuff", I want to make sure to love and appreciate it.

I am 31 years old.

I am married to a wonderful guy, Mark. We just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. We've been together for 10 years now. It's a wonderful union. I am so, so lucky to share my life with him.

I have two beautiful kiddos. One incredible daughter Maya, who is almost 2, and my sweet little son Ethan, who is just about 2 months.

I work in marketing and account management for a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. I like my job.

I have a sister who I am really close to. She is getting married next May - so exciting! I have two half sisters who I love incredibly. One just started college at Barnard this week, and the other one started her sophomore year in high school. Both are incredibly talented dancers and wonderful students.

My mom and I are very close. She lives 15 minutes away. I love her very much.

My dad also lives nearby.

Mark and I have all of our family within 10-15 minutes from where we live, with the exception of Mark's mom, who lives on Maui. We visit her every year, usually at Christmas time. It's really nice going there.

Those are my introductions. I have a lot I want to share, but little man is sleeping and I've got to get my things together to go pick up Maya at daycare in 30 minutes. Caio.
