Just Starting

So this is the first time I have ever written a blog. Let me introduce myself, my name is Leslie, but everyone calls me Les. I am 29 years old. I turn 30 this year, HOLLY CRAP!! Oh well, just another number I guess. I am a first time mother of a 13 month old beautiful baby girl. I know I am biased. She has changed my world in so may wonderful ways. I can honestly say I can't imagine my life with out her.

I am married to the man of my dreams. We have been together for 4 years now, I think. We have been Married for just over 3 years now.  I actually met him off eHarmony. I had totally given up on men and I was going to be the old cat lady. I already had two cats, my own truck, and my own place. I swore off men.
My best friend convinced me to give eHarmony a try, that is where she met her husband, and father of her little girl. I decided to give it a shot and low and behold I met my husband who live pretty much not even a mile away and we even had some of the same acquaintances. We met on November 2nd, 2006, ironically my best friend's birthday, and we have pretty much been inseparable since.
We got married in December 2007, and December 2009 we had our lil girl.

A lot has changed for me in this last year. I had my lil girl, a month later we bought a house, and a month later I got laid off. I had been working at the company I was with for over 9 years. That was a major blow, but a huge blessing at the same time. I didn't realize how much it consumed me. I lived and breathed RETAIL! I mean I pretty much grew up in that store. Boy friends came and went, I bought my truck, I turned 21, I bought my condo, got married, and had a baby, and then bought a house.
Like I said it was a blessing too.

I now work for a wonderful non-for-profit company as a phone rep at home. I get to spend the days with my daughter, and my husband gets the evenings with her, while I work.  I didn't realize how wonderful life was outside the retail world. I didn't realize how much a I wasn't getting paid what I was worth.
I am now starting a new adventure. Tring to lose this weight that I have put on over the past two to three years.
