This is Who We Are

This is us. I love us. I love that a picture was taken of the true, authentic us. The us that proudly wears our baby’s slobber, that wears whatever looks most comfortable as pajamas and that could care less about sporting just a diaper. While I once had an image in my head about what the perfect us would look like, that image is now replaced with an even better one. A more realistic one. We are honest about who we are. This move back to the States has forced us to be brutally honest about our life. We are not perfect and we have not made the best decisions. But we refuse to live a life of regret. We have learned so much about ourselves. We have had some of our happiest times here and we have had some of our worst. We have shed tears of pure joy and we have shed tears of deep sorrow. People keep commenting that our life seemed so perfect, but the only thing perfect about our life is that we have each other. We are a happy little family. I love my husband, I love my daughter and I love that I get to spend my life with such amazing individuals. I love us. To me, the us in the photograph is exactly who I want us to be.
