Kiddie Park with our kiddo

We took Melany to the Kiddie Park on Saturday and she loved it! There were some rides like the merry go round and saucer that made her a little uneasy but overall, she really enjoyed herself. We hadn't done
"fun" outings since we got to San Antonio because it's taking us a while to settle down and run errands. It was so much fun to see Melany's happy face as she walked in to the park and saw all the kids, rides and balloons everywhere. And yes, Melany got her first hair cut this past week, so the pictures show her new "Dora" like look.

Family Photo Shoot at O.P. Schnabel Park

Enoch and I wanted to take pictures and send some cards to our family and friends for Easter. I have been reading the New Testament in the Bible and really thinking about Easter and the resurrection of our Savior.  Since our lives have been so hectic, unstable and stressful, we were not able to take family pictures nor send cards for Christmas. Hence, we thought this coming Easter would be a nice occasion to send our love to our family and friends. I'm still working on that photography certificate, and consider myself a novice in photography but I really liked how these pictures came out. It wasn't easy to get the right lighting and this was the first time of me working with a tripod. However,  I specially liked the silly shots we took when we thought the camera wasn't on. Overall, I felt the cards came out pretty, but I will post that one in a different post:)

Nice picture but the lighting was too dark, plus Melany looks uncomfortable:/

I'm a mom before anything!

                                     Life has its ways of reminding me what matters most.
          During our short time in San Angelo, and right after I received notice of receiving my license, I applied for jobs. I got an interview the next day I sent my resume, got hired on the spot, and started 1 week after with a small company that contracts with home health agencies. Everything was moving so fast that I had little time to find a home, and settle in to a new city by myself with my little baby. It was hard to grasp what was happening and went through several hoops and obstacles this past month that led me to make an important decision.
         I quit my job after working a little over 1 month of working. And the main reason is that this job required me to work an average of 10 to 12 hours day. This caused me to not only work the regular 9 hour days but also take work home. And this probably wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that I''m the mother to a 20 month old baby girl. I promised God and myself to always be a mother before anything. The love I have for Melany is more powerful than anything. And that love is what gave me the strength to get through so many trials and problems I went through this month. Not all my problems were work related but no matter what I was going through, seeing Melany, how big she is, her sweet kisses and hugs are what helped me go through it all.
      And for now, I am enjoying the best job I've ever had and will have, being a mom. I will probably work again in the next months or so, but it has to be a job that won't take all my time, because no job is worth me being away from my little girl.

Oh how I love her!
