As a woman, I tend to get ahead of myself with my thoughts of the future.

I want to get married, and I want it to be beautiful.

I want to have kids.

Wait, now I don't.

I want to travel. I want to be married before I have children. I want to be financially stable before I start a family. I want to own my own beautiful house and be in a place with my career where I can stay home with my babies for as long as I want.

For reals, I get choked up about my younger siblings growing up and getting on with their own lives, how the heck am I going to be able to raise a kid and let it become independent like I always wanted growing up.

Well, at this point in my life I have a way to calm these feelings.

In June of 2016, I was asked to be the God Mother to one of my greatest coworker's son.

The best part about being his Godmother is everything.

I have been in his life since day one. I have gotten to spend time with him and watch him grow and learn.

I get to experience just about everything a parent would get to (besides the lack of sleep, darn.)

When I am down, his cute little smile makes my day do a complete 180.

Through this amazing experience, I have gained lifelong friends, his parents are great and he is a handsome little miracle.

I can't wait to see all the amazing things this little man will do. I am just embracing every single minute of it!
