Leave has ended. Now begins that mom, wife, teacher, and student life. All during a pandemic.

I am so grateful I get to journey through life with such a supportive, loving, and passionate man. Life has definitely been a roller coaster this year (pregnant during pandemic). A's birth was a wild ride (trippy drugs and hours of pushing) but she is absolutely worth it all.

2 years ago we were in Costa Rica saying our vows. Today we quietly celebrate our anniversary with our baby girl and I am so in love. exhausted but so deep in love with my husband and our baby.

Less light and air pollution and the stars seem to shine brighter. Venus outshines them all tonight.
