On my drive into work this morning I was listening to the Kidd Kraddick morning show as I do most mornings. It is normally a fun and lighthearted distraction from the grind of the commute from Pearland to Houston.
This morning one of the hosts, Jenna Owens, was discussing her relationship struggles and issues with a boyfriend that kept bouncing in and out of her life. Over and over again she said something to the effect that she was not "worth it" to him. Besides wanting to call in and tell her how wrong she is it made me want to make a note to myself about something to tell my daughter, Amelia, in the future. So while sitting in stop and go traffic I pulled out my iphone and wrote the following in the notes section, "Don't let how people treat you define your self-worth and value."
My daughter is a little over 13 months old. I've been meaning to set up an email account for her since before she was born. (I am finally going to do it as soon as I finish this blog post.) Below are some pictures of my sweet girl.
Here is Miss Amelia Belle when she was brand spanking new!
And a more recent picture from her first birthday
