Change.

CHANGE

We all change whether we like it or not. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes its bad. Either way we need it and its inevitable. It is impossible to grow without change. Like a flower, starting from a seed. You can become something beautiful, unique, powerful, and you do have control. It’s all about your energy and what your willing to put into life. How your willing to learn from the changes.

My whole life I did not ever picture myself having children. Like ever. It just wasn’t in the cards for me. I was not a fan of kids, never babysat. Nope, I was all set. So, totally content with worrying about myself, and that was even a struggle at times.

Welp, turns out it was in the cards for me. When I met my fiancé Rob, we connected instantly. We knew of eachother prior, from growing up in the same hometown , through the grape vine, so to speak. After an amazing summer together, we decided that he should move in with me! Ten minutes outside of Boston, so you can imagine the fun we had.

1 month later, I was pregnant. Me. PREGO, HA. 4 Dollar Store pregnancy tests later. Yup. I’m pregnant. Fuck. What am I gunna do? Pacing back and forth, back and forth. First thought, abortion. Not gunna lie. Then I looked at Rob he looked at me. I asked him… What are we gunna do?…

BOOM. CHANGE.

………….

I looked at him and thought, why wouldn’t I want him to be the father of my children? He’s a great guy, and he does laundry!  I decided that maybe it wasn’t the worst thing, but me, be a mom? I still couldn’t picture it. When I announced I was pregnant EVERYONE would say”Thought you were never having kids?!.” or “Never say never!” I had no smart ass remark to give back lol. I was like shit.

I thought about it. 1. Women who arnt able. 2. Orphans. Do I have a reason not to have the baby? I am able to provide this baby a home, clothes, food, and love. And I have pretty good morals for the most part . I’m a pretty good teacher. Alright I got this….maybe.

It was up hill from there, obviously. So we grew, we grew, we grew, and we grew. With change. Dramatic, full force, change ya life change. Almost five years later, we now have 2 beautiful little girls. Genevieve Tenaglia Capaldo, who is 3 going on 18, and Vienna Ryan Capaldo, 6 months (The Gerb Master), and Ziggy, our beagle, hound dog.

So many people tell us how good of parents we are. Im like really? Lol WOW. Its feels crazy when people actually say it to our faces. We do our best. We’re not perfect. And God knows we’ve got a LONG ASS way to go. Two teen age daughters?!?!! Wtf was I thinking. We can’t wait. This wild ride.

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE

CHANGE IS NECCESSARY

I’m glad.

Growth can not happen without change, change can not happen without growth.

Be open minded. Be the best you. Grow. Change. Fall. Get back up. Learn from your mistakes. Learn from your success. Be strong and willing. Grateful for this life.
