1. Mississippi. When we went to the “fair” and I got bit by a camel and the lady was giving us the business about the porcupines.

2. Rocksprings. “check out those baby goats, want to take home a baby goat?!”. We drive up to find out they are these huge massive goats.

3. Louisiana. Walking out of the gas station with the 400 pound police officer holding the door for me. Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm.

4. San Antonio. Eating at the rainforest cafe. “Amiyah get your feet off the table!”. “No mama, I’m getting the yuckies out!”

5. Michigan. The 90 year old, sweating, sagging man jogger. :)

6. Mississippi. Thank you for the shit Jimmy Carter.

7. San Antonio. Petting Donuts, Serengeti.. It’s the fucking African desert babe, You sound like a cheetah.

8. Eagle Pass. Walking around the casino with my broken flip flop. :)

I will continue to put a random number of memories in here for personal satisfaction. :)

I love being married. So be it I’ve only been married for a little under 2 weeks, but it is by far one of the best feelings in the world. Just having him to call my husband makes me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Our next big journey is the rest of this pregnancy and the birth of our son. I wouldn’t choose anyone in the entire world to spend the rest of my life with :)

Loveyouuuuu cuddle fish :)

I wish someone could please explain to me this…

When I’m sitting at my desk, minding my own, with my nose deep in my book… Why must you come talk to me? I am much more interested in what’s going on in my book no doubt than whatever nonsense you’d like to chat with me about. Good grief.

Well we found out yesterday that we would be parents to a little boy :). What we are going to name that little boy… NO IDEA! The feeling you get when the ultrasound tech is feeling around your stomach and you see this little baby on the screen.. And then the heartbeat feels the room is unbelievable. To see the movements of your baby on the screen and for her to tell you that your baby has a strong heartbeat and that everything has developed smoothly so far is just such a breath of relief and happiness. Can’t wait to meet you… And of course decide on a name!

And only 2 weeks from today until the wedding! I absolutely cannot believe how fast this has came. So excited and can’t wait to have all my family here and walk down the aisle :D

Ugghhhh Spam. You’re messing up my Tumbling.

I had the biggest scare of my entire life last week. We went to the ER and were told that we may lose the baby. That news hit me like a ton of bricks, I didn’t know what to say, I didn’t know how to breath, and mostly and I didn’t know how to handle it. Feeling like the entire world was against my body was an awful place to be. I felt like somebody came and just knocked me off of a 40 story building and left me for dead. Fighting with my fears and my strengths I put every ounce of faith I have into God. Being on bed rest for 3 and a half days, sitting alone while Jack was at work, and falling asleep at night left plenty of room for tears and my fear to continue building. After what seemed like millions and millions of eons, we heard some hopeful news from my OB, that she was almost positive the baby was fine.
Thank you God.
I pray that you continue to keep myself and our baby in your hands and bless me with a beautiful healthy pregnancy.

Knowing that a human being is growing inside of me is one of the most amazing yet indescribable things in life. I obviously haven’t felt much of anything, except the extreme tenderness and swelling up of my boobs… And feeling like I’ve been cursed with permanent period bloating, the best is yet to come. I can only hope and pray and pray some more that this baby grows 100% healthy. I don’t truly know what I’d do if something happened inside my body. I vow to do nothing but give 100% to myself, Jack, and this baby of ours. Counting down the months. :)

It’s absolutely impossible I almost think, or maybe it’s just that I can’t wrap my head around something so off the wall. This came out of left park for me, as i imagine it did to everyone else. Now obviously, I know nothing of the events and can only speak for what I’ve read, but All I can say is that this was completely and utterly unlike this person I once knew. I looked up to him as an older brother when I was younger. I spent a few hours yesterday trying to deny what was revealed. All I can think about are his parents, brother, and his wife and child. I can’t even begin to grasp what overtook his thoughts that evening. Life can change in an absolute instant and become your worst nightmare.

Cherish it.

So people have asked me, “how do you know he is the one?”. Well I’ll tell you one of my most valid reasons… Because we can fight, we can argue to the bitter bone, over everything and over nothing, and still the entire time in my head I am thinking “I still cannot wait to marry you.”. Anyone else I’ve ever been with, we fight, and I’m ready to kick your ass to the curb and I’m on my way to bigger and better things. But this time it’s different, a disagreement doesn’t make me want to call it quits, it makes me realize that he is the only one I ever want to disagree with.

Marriage isn’t always going to be rainbows and butterflies.. And I’m determined to work through the cloudy days, it’s what you will do with the torrential downpour life throws your way to get back to it.

I’m thrilled for what my future holds and I can’t wait to unravel everyday of my future with my husband.

I love you Jack.
