On january 2nd, 2009 Aaron and I's lives changed forever.
Okay, that sounds a bit dramatic, but its true.

Lily Helen Dean came into this world with a "bang!" that day, and she has had me and her daddy wrapped around her itty bitty finger ever since. Being a parent is the hardest thing Ive ever done, but is definetly the most meaningful thing Ive ever done,too. The most challenging, yet most rewarding. Im more tired, but it has made me appreciate that little amount of sleep I DO have. I have less time and money to spend on myself, and it has made me more appreciative of the things I have, and every little gift I recieve...and every time I have a moment to myself, or a moment alone with Aaron, it feels so good and is all the more special to me. Lily is no doubt a gift from the Gods above, and I am so thankful to have her in my life...even if she does keep us up all night.
