Long Time, No Post

Hello world of blogging! I know I disappeared for awhile, but life has been very eventful, especially since Leah started walking. We are always running around, and yes, I mean running. When she gets going, it is hard to stop her. I cannot believe her first birthday is coming up. She is doing everything already, walking; drinking milk; and eating "real" food. Ever since we started the milk, she seems to be sleeping a little longer at night. She usually still wakes up once, but most of the time, she heads right back to sleep. She also has a "big" girl bed. No more cradle for Miss Leah. She has made so many milestones in the past couple months. It is amazing to think where Aaron and I where a year ago.
So I have been trying to do the job thing, and I have had a couple bites. Employers tell me how amazing my resume and cover letter are, but when they get into the hours I can work and hear I have to rely on daycare hours, it is over. It angers me so much that mothers are discriminated against. Anyways, I decided that maybe I should make it harder for them to turn me down; so I am going back to school starting this Wednesday. It is online through Kaplan, so this way I don't have to take out another loan for daycare. I can be at home with her and doing my schooling. It should only take me until March to complete, and I will have my paralegal certification. I decided teacher was a no go since it would take me twice as long to complete. I would also have to wait until Leah starts preschool because I am not willing to take out that extra loan. So, I am excited and nervous; but I am definitely ready.
Another note, I have a new part-time gig with Examiner.com. I write for them as an independent contractor in the New Orleans Family Entertainment section. It does not pay a whole lot, but it gets me published. Exposure is a necessity if you ever want to write. Anyways, that is all the new going on right now. Hopefully, you will hear from me sooner than two months. Take care everyone and keep safe.
