Astronomy, sniffles, and marriage

Over the last week a few things have happened. Nothing terribly thrilling but I thought I would take a break from homework and share. O yes, homework. I started my online classes last Thursday (the 24th) and have already in week one sat in front of my computer for about 15 hours typing posts, responding to posts, timed quizzes (my forte....not), and mainly aimless busywork. The worst part is that these classes are not even classes that are exciting or interesting information: Astronomy, Geology, and American Literature. I did, in my Astronomy class, learn that there is going to be a total solar eclipse on the 11th of July which I actually think is pretty cool. If you wanna know more about it and when it is specifically here is the website:

In other news, I developed a lovely cold which left me completely glued to a tissue box, humidifier, and lots of salt water. This is courtesy of my Dad who had it last week. I, however, can't kick things quite as quickly as he can. Thankfully I don't get colds very often so this should be my one for the year.

I have two good friends getting married in the next few months; Jenna is getting married in August and Chelsi in October. So there are a lot of wedding plans going on and I am in the process of planning a shower in a month. It's a wonderful time of excitement and it's so crazy to think that I was just doing all of this not six months ago. Jeffrey and I celebrated our six month anniversary on the 28th of June! I was sad that he was not here to actually celebrate it WITH me but he was able to send me a text from the water sending me his love =)

I hope that this finds you all well. Have a wonderful 4th of July with family and friends!

here's to the men.

In December, Jeffrey and I will be celebrating four years of marriage. I am happily married. Correction. I am head-over-heals-love-him-more-each-day-blessed-beyond-measure-happily married! Ok, enough with the mushy stuff and on to the reason this post is titled, "here's to the men". As I think over my journey of meeting my husband and everything leading up to that, there are a number of factors that I know contributed to finding this wonderful man. Everything from having a similar upbringing to great communication, are obviously apart of it. But I wanted to focus on one of (I believe) the key factors. Men. That's right, men. We (as women) have all had our fair share of experiences, both good and bad, with men. Whether we realize it or not, they have helped shaped our view of who we are as women and what we deserve in a boyfriend/spouse. This starts at childhood and goes into our teenage and young adult years. The sta...

tears

I wouldn't say that I am an overly emotional person. I have always thought that I am pretty well in tune with them and they rarely get the better of me in situations. My logic is usually able to balance things out. Yesterday, I was watching a show and there was a ballet scene featuring one single dancer on the stage. She radiated strength, passion, and was so full of life. It was so incredibly beautiful and as silly as it sounds, it brought tears to my eyes. When I was younger, I can remember my Mom getting teary eyed over everything. We could be watching a movie or tv show and she would be wiping her eyes over a beautiful song, reuniting of a family, a piece of music, anything. I remember always thinking that it was so silly. Call it genetics, but I now do the same thing. Maybe it's growing up and being more secure in who I am, but it happens, often. I am usually able to feel it coming on and quickly distract myself ...

Leo Allen's Birth Story

The day my little Leo was born was truly, the best day of my life. Now I know, I'm supposed to say that about the day I married Jeffrey, but the day I married him was not the important part as much as the marriage we had/have ahead of us (which is still awesome by the way!) The day I had Leo was truly the best day on so many levels. Often times when I've heard people talk about the birth of their child, I think they are typically referring to the actual baby-comes-out and meeting them part. What I am referring to is the whole shbang. From the very first contraction to finally holding him in my arms. It was hard, yes, but I don't think that holding him in my arms would have been nearly as amazing without everything leading up to it. From start to finish, delivery and labor were absolutely amazing! Now, I had been preparing for years for the birth of my child - researching, reading, and envisioning what would happen. Birth has always be...
