As a Junior in college most would think that I would not want to live with my sister and brother in law. They would think that I would choose a more social place near the college community to live. Well the truth is.. I don't want to live with them.. I want to live with Maddox. Ok I say that first part as a joke I do really want to live with them, and I love every minute of it. I honestly think that some of the things, well most of the things that happen here would entertain the avid viewers of reality television shows. But to be honest the best thing about living here, besides having the opportunity to spend amazing time with my sister, and building a great friendship with her, is living with Maddox. I honestly think that he is the cutest (and smartest.. that is for you Mandy) little 1 year old I have ever met. He can turn my frown upside down, dry my tears, and make my stomach hurt from laughing all in the matter of mere seconds. He is literally the best thing to happen to me in the past year if not longer. The time that I get to, and have gotten to spend with him is time that I will cherish forever. I absolutely love the relationship that we have been able to build. He is now at the age where he is extra fun, but yet..keeps me on the tips on my toes. He keeps us all on the tips of our toes for that matter. He is everywhere and into everything and sometimes I have a hard time figuring out how on earth he got to where and into what he is into so quickly. I swear that there is no low gear for him. As his aunt I hate to hear him cry it breaks my heart. But yet it makes me feel so special when he cries when I am leaving or because he can no longer see me. I think that is the best thing in the world. When Maddox cries in situations like that I know that to him I am all that he wants at that given time, and it feels so nice to be wanted by such a cute little one. I was going through my phone today and I was deleting my old pictures so that I could have room for new ones, and it was truly hard to do. Mainly because all but 3 of my photos were of him and I did not want to have to delete them, because I did not want to delete the memory that each picture brought to my mind. It is crazy how fast this first year of his life has gone, and it crazy all the things that he has done in his first year. He is one blessed little boy, and we are all VERY blessed people for him to have been brought into our lives.
