New Mom

It has been amazing having my baby boy at home with me. The long NICU stay is already a blur of the past.

I learned a lot about myself and life during those 63 days. I am so thankful for the staff that took care of my son. I am thankful for my family and friends for supporting and showing me love during a very hard time. I am thankful to god for protecting my son and giving him strength to grow into a healthy chunky boy.

Life is good. I am happy to be a mom.

Gator eats cat

The cat followed us on our walk across a busy road and through the orange fields. She couldn't keep up our pace and got separated. On the way back we called out for her but she was nowhere in sight. Through out the day we drove around town and the fields to look for her.

I have never really liked the cat but felt bad she had to die out in the wilderness alone. We live in a swampy area. There is a lot of gators and other animals that could hurt her easily. I think she would make a great meal for a gator because she is really plump.

The gators didn't get to munch on her... My parents did one more search before bed and found her near a busy intersection. I was almost happy to see her.

Great two years!

First comes love,

then comes marriage,

then comes baby in a golden carriage.

So a lot has happened since 2008.. My most exciting memories include getting my associates degree, getting married, and hearing my babys(currently a bun in the oven) heart beat for the first time.

Here is a picture of me on the day of my wedding.. I still have that same expression when people ask how the married life is.
