Looking Back.

Our first picture together.

This was taken just three and a half months ago, but it seems like an eternity. 
Caden and I have grown and evolved SO much since this picture was taken.  

We've grown extremely close and I can't picture my life without him in it.

I never would have guessed, in a million years, that I would be where I am today.   I never would have thought I could be as happy as I truly am.  I was always so guarded, so afraid, so scared.  I was always looking out for myself, protecting myself, and not letting anyone disrupt that.     

But now, I'm vulnerable and open and welcoming.   Now I love that Caden has come into my bubble and I never ever want him to leave.  

I can't believe how incredible I feel.

I can't believe how far I have come.
I can't believe the changes I've made.
I can't believe the life I'm living.

I can't believe how perfect everything is.

I can't believe how incredibly lucky I am.

...and I cant' believe that Caden is mine.
