The Andersons

My original idea for this blog post was to show off my newest talent...sewing. I was going to post pictures of the outfits I had recently made Abby. I started thinking about how I did not know how to sew a year ago today. That got me thinking about how much my life has changed in a year.

A year ago today...

I was flying private jets around the country bringing lifesaving organs home to those who were dying.

I was scrubbing in at the operating table with some of the top surgeons in the nation.

My closet was full of scrubs.

I thought sleep deprivation followed one night of call.

I did not know Yo Gabba Gabba or the Imagination Movers.

I had lost contact with a dear friend from highschool.

I did laundry once a week.

I enjoyed my cat.

I could sing any song on top 20 on 20 (well, I could attempt to sing any song).

I did not have Good Night Moon memorized.

I could sleep past 7:00 on the weekend.

Weekends were for relaxing.

There was such thing as "running" into a store.

Errands were easy.

I was selfish. Life revolved around me. But a year ago today I did not know what it was like to love someone with every fiber of my being. I did not know sacrificial love. I had never looked into the eyes of my child and felt so helpless and dependent on the Lord's guidance. The year has brought many changes to my life. I thrived on adrenaline and selfish ambition. Now I am at the mercy of a 7 month old who has turned my life upside down. I would never go back to life as it was a year ago today.
