Its been a big year for me and mister Maz!
As most of you already know, I jumped in the deep end this year, and decided to start my own photography business, and although some people think it is crazy, I have never been happier doing anything more in my life. I have also never been this busy! I cherish the sweet times I get to spend with Mazor, and my goal with this business is to be with him at home everday.

I have always known what an incredible family I have but this year just reconfirmed it. They are always showing love and support to me and to the things in occuring in my life and always helping me with babysitting, and/or just spending time with me and Mazor.
I am truely grateful for all of the love I feel from each of them.
Sadly, my brother Dan, had to (temporarily) move to Costa Rica for his company this year and it was harder to say goodbye to the family than I thought. It has left a small void at our routine family dinners & occasions, but I think about them constantly and hope they are all adjusting well to their new foreign home. (which I cant wait to visit!)
Mazor and I also have been moving around a lot this year, but we have settled down well into our some-what new apartment and love having a place of our own.
I love Mazor more than anything, and I know he is the best thing in my life.
Its been a big year for a little guy.
I am so proud of the way Mazor has handled everything. His dad and I have him on a very routine schedule now and Mazor seems to be doing really well with it.
I constantly worry how this divorce will affect him as he grows older and strive to make the seperation a positive, not negative thing in his life.
Mazor is such a smart kid, and he picks up on everything!
He is always suprising me with what he learns from those around him.
He loves all of his cousins, but especially loves his cousin Coco,
and always looks out the window to see if he is coming to visit.
He can almost say full sentences now and is talking all of the time. I understand most but not everything, but that doesnt seem to matter much to Maz.
He is growing up so fast and changing into a kid, not my baby anymore.
Not all things change though, he still has that wild red hair,
he is still a picky eater, still afraid of uncle CJ,
and he still has to have blankey where ever we go.
I few other highlights from this year would have to include, Lake Powell with the family, acceptance into 4 art shows, Mazors Nacho Libre costume, my moms new basement (hotel & room service for 3 months), and mostly, not surprisingly, my family. Just the little moments spent with them, playing games, dinners, doing riddles & listening to the guitar, etc.

This year has been a learning experience and I only hope to take what I can from it and become a better person. I am a very lucky person to have such a good life and for the first time in a long time things are looking up. I am excited for the next year and what it has for us.
