4/13/12

It feels like just yesterday when I was rudely awakened by the WORST pain I never knew existed! After 30 long hours of painful, yet amazing labor my Sweet baby finally made her grand appearance. 

You can see the doctors hand while he was handing me Evie for the very first time! I never new I could feel so happy! I cried cause she was here, because I wouldn't ever feel her kick again and because it was over no more pain! I finally got to hold her for the outside.

                                               Daddy holding Evie for the first time!

I never new there was this kind of love out there! 

Im not sure what I did to be so lucky to have the cutest little girl. She completes me! I have been so excited/scared/sad/happy for this day to come. I cant believe one year has already come and gone. Evie is one of the smartest little girls I know. She has the cutest personality! I cant help but smile when she is around! 

So today was her birthday. I now have a one year old! That sounds so crazy! Shes almost not a baby anymore!

We woke up like any other day with Evie playing with my eye brows and eye lashes to try and wake me up. I opened my eyes and there was the priceless smile I wait to see from the second I put her to sleep at night! I finally could tell her HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Daddy came in and she was so excited to see him! "Happy birthday babes!'' he says, a big smile filled her face. Poor daddy was sick all night. So Evie and I went to the store to pick up a few things. We got the balloons for the birthday girl! 

While Evie played I made her her birthday cake! 

Just a cute picture I took! I love her face!

Ate some lunch!

Put up some decorations!

We went to Apple bees to celebrate!

I am so in love with my little family!

Birthday boy!

Today goes to my man! 22 years ago he was born! Yes that makes me a cougar! Im proud of it! I've known Anderson since we were 4! Growing up I always heard those stories of people that knew their husbands or boyfriends all their life.  I always wanted that to be me! I never in a million years thought I'd end up with my childhood crush. You see, when I was a little girl I could NOT like a boy that was younger then me! That was just not right!  When our families would get together I always had a crush on him.  He was seriously so cute! He had curly hair, dark skin, beautiful eyes and eyelashes, he was taller then me (not like that's hard to do) and he had thee cutest voice with a little lisp! When we were 5 his family moved to Idaho.  Some how we still managed to connect again. How lucky am I!?

These last 2 years have been a couple of the hardest years in my life but also the best 2 years! If it wasn't for Anderson I don't know where I'd be in life.  He has helped me remember the important things in life. He gave my life a whole new meaning! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! I get to spend everyday with him! Not to mention how handsome he is! ;)

Happy birthday babe! I'm so glad that I have been lucky enough to spend this day with you! I love you more then you will ever know!

One of those days.

People may think they know us...

No one can really know YOU until they try.

Its a privilege to know someone. 

Life is sacred. 

Its our story to tell ,no one else.

No one has lived a day in our life.

We need to stop assuming, judging and criticizing people.

No one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.

The people that accept us for the mistakes we have made

 are the ones that are privileged to be in our life.

Its about who we ARE, not what we have done.
