A sad day...but happy memories

Today I say goodbye to one of my best friends...my grandma!!  She will forever be missed but not forgotten.  She's been there for me through everything good and bad and always supported me no matter what smart or stupid decisions I've made.  She was my rock and forever will be a part of me.

 

She has been through hell and back...won against breast cancer, falling and breaking her hip, and a horrible car accident.  She always came out on top, letting nothing get in her way.  She never backed down for what she believed in.

She had awesome fashion sense...lol, not really but only she could get away with a floral top and leopard print pants.  God love her, she cracked me up with every conversation. 

 

I was her youngest grandchild and I always told her she wasn't ever allowed to leave me until I had my own child and she got to meet and hold them.  Well in February this year I had my first son Kaden!!  While I was pregnant she fell(once again) and we had to move her into a nursing home.  She never fully recovered this time but held on long enough to meet her last great grandchild. 



Grandma lived a wonderful 93 years and I'm so happy that I got to spend 33 of those years with her.  I will miss you forever and you will forever be in my heart. 

 

I love you,

Your Granddaughter

Happy 1st Anniversary Paul!!

First and foremost...I LOVE YOU!!

Over the last year my love has grown for you more and more with each passing day. 

Everyday I've spent with you over this past year I've learned more and more about you.  I love you, your kids, and your family.  I feel like I've learned so much about love and life from you.  I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have someone like you to share the rest of my life with.  You truly are the love of my life. 



Leaving On A Jet Plane(or driving a Cadilac) to Memphis

So remember a month or so ago I posted about being home alone while Paul was out of town for the weekend and it was a trial run for when he had to leave for work training??  Well that day has come, he left Monday night to drive to Memphis with a couple of coworkers.  Sad that he left but happy cause his trip isn't going to be as long as originally planned.

Tuesday was the first whole day alone and I did absolutely nothing.  It felt good to relax and not have the house to worry about.  I didn't clean, pick up anything, or wash a single dish.  It was pure bliss(although I did feel a little bad at the end of the day since I hadn't accomplished anything).

Wednesday I went to my mother's around 10am.  We went swimming, shopping and just hung out for a little bit.  After that I went to my father's where I had an awesome dinner that my stepmom cooked.  My sister even came over to see me, or rather to see Kaden but that's all good.  I know she still loves me, I'm just not as cute as Kaden!!  It was nice not to be home, for it made the day go by really fast. 

Today...today my man comes home!  I'm excited to see him as I know he's excited to see me(and I know you read this so if your not then you better act like it...jk).  Luckily the house is pretty clean, and I already did the dishes this morning so all that's left is to shave my legs!!  And get your minds out of the gutter, its 90 degrees out and I want to put on shorts not wear pants(and maybe for him a little but really for me).  Hopefully he wont be too tired when he gets home so I can spend a little "time" with him before he crashes for the night then has to get up and work a 12hr shift tomorrow.

Welcome home babe, I love you!!

Happy Mother's Day...everyday!!

First and foremost I want to wish all Mothers and mother figures a Happy Mothers Day!!  So many women deserve a high five today...everyday for that matter.

I myself have multiple mothers, my mom, my stepmom and a b-mom!  I also have my boyfriends mother who I might as well call my mother in law.  Each one of these women has impacted my life some way.  I've butted heads with them, learned life lessons from them, cried and laughed with them. Without them I would not be who I am today, I would not be the mother I am today!  I have a greater appreciation for my moms now that I'm a mom myself even if that's only been for a few months

I hope to one day have my children grow up thinking I'm an awesome mom, someone they can go to for anything.  To know I give my love to them unconditionally, even when they are in trouble.  If my children are anything like me, they'll definitely be in trouble a time or two!! :)

I think it's great there is a day to celebrate moms(and dads) but everyday parents should be celebrated.  Whether they are stay at home parents taking care of the kids or working 9-5 so those kids can have the clothes and toys they want.  Everyday is Mother's Day, remember that so anytime you see a mom, give her a smile and thumbs up.  It will make her day and she'll know she's doing good.  I know I sometimes have to be reminded I'm doing good(esp when Kaden is crying and nothing seems to calm him down).  So thank you moms of the world for keeping us kids(young and old) loved!!
