How could I start this blog with anything other than the new life of Katie Grace Mayling. She was born this morning at 1:14 a.m. and just like my neice Lauren almost 3 years ago, she won't fully appreciate how much she is loved until she is much older.
My very dear friend Anna gave birth to Katie today and Anna pushed out all 9 lbs 6 oz of her. Although I haven't been able to speak to Anna, I can't convey how much I am wishing her well tonight. Her grandparents, the Sadlers and the Maylings are all around the Derby household and as I spoke to Phil barely 12 hours in to parenthood, he was so excited.
Its times like this when 10 hours plane ride seems like an eternity and I'd do anything right now to be a few hours drive away...
As for me, I've just accepted a new job at a new company. Until now I had to be careful what I said as this blog is public! However, despite two to three weeks of immense turmoil, I know now, its time for me to move on.
Despite David being away for most of my turmoil, I know he's the most important thing in my life and whether he agrees with my decision or not, supports me or not, he's more important than a damn job any day...
You see...its about a new life and existing life. So here's to Katie Grace and David Wilfred! I love you both.
Congratulations on all accounts!
