Is this thing on?

Mic check, is anyone out there? Does this thing still work?

Well, it's been a while since I've done this, I'm not sure where to start. And because I'm sure no one is out there reading this, I guess I'll begin where I want to.

I think I last blogged in December of 2013, which means its been almost three years since my last post. A lot has happened since that time. I married this guy on November 8th, 2014.

We took our honeymoon to Los Cabos, Mexico in July of 2015 and had the absolute time of our lives.

Three days after we came home I found out I was pregnant. I lost our first baby just five days later. That experience tore me to pieces, but made us stronger as a couple.

Five weeks after, we made our second baby. Pregnancy wasn't kind to me.

And on May 12th, 2016 after 23 hours of labor, I had a natural labor and delivery (what the hell was I thinking?!) and brought our beautiful baby girl Lorelai Grace earth-side at 10:08am.

As you can imagine, she's frickin' perfect. So perfect that I left my job in the staffing world to stay at home and marvel at her perfection.

I also decided to grow a pair and finally pursue my dreams of starting my own photography business. It is my passion, and I am so grateful to have a husband who has supported me in following this dream and allowing me to be at home with our baby girl in the process.

It's still a work in progress, and I'm trying to get my footing and get this thing off the ground. For now, I just have a Facebook page: Kayla Layla Photography. I'm also resurrecting this tiny little corner of the world in case anyone wants to follow me along on this new adventure.

I'm at a place where I don't think I could ask for much more in this life. I don't have it all, but I have what I need. And now I just want to reach for the stars and see where I land. I hope if anyone is out there reading this you'll humor me and stick around for a while. Pretty Please :)
