2012 is almost over and I'm not going to lie, this year has not been an easy one. There has been a ton of challenges I have had to overcome not only as a mother, fiancé, daughter, and sister, but as myself. Jessica.
I never imagined that at the age of 25 I would have a daughter. She is the most wonderful surprise that has ever happened and I wouldn't trade her for anything, but being a young mom, in a new house, who is just trying to keep her head out of water is hard.
I am so lucky I have Dan though. Without him I don't know where we would be. When ever things have gotten really rough he is always the first one to tell me I can and will be able to handle it. This is one of the many reasons I can't wait to marry him this summer.
So here was the major challenge this year. Who am I? I know what my rolls are, but who am I? I found myself having a very hard time with this once I went back to work. Being in an office job just wasn't for me. I tried, but I did not succeed. Luckily on a whim I applied for a position at a dance studio and boy was that the right choice. When people tell you to follow your passion they are not lying.
I am a mom. A fiancé. A daughter. A sister, but I am also a dance teacher.
I love my job! I get to pass on my passion for dance while also watching these wonderful children grow. The smiles on their faces when they have conquered a difficult move is priceless. Seeing that child who was painfully shy in September blossom into the little dancer who is going to steal the show is amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better.
So thank you 2012. You were a difficult year at times, but you taught me so much, and I thank you for that.
