It won't be long

It is currently 4:35 PM.
On a normal day I might be surprised at how quickly the day how flown by. But not today. Today has been one of the longest days EVER. Let me explain.

I got a text message Saturday night after my family got home from our Ross Lake trip (which was wonderful-I will write on that later) from Jeffrey that said simply "homeward bound". I about peed! I called him immediately to confirm the news and he told me they decided to come home 2 weeks early. My response was pretty much lots of tears and excitement and more tears and excitement. I hadn't been expecting him for another 2 weeks and given my experience on the camping trip it couldn't have been better timing!

I haven't been able to talk to him since Saturday so I don't really know all the details but I think that they will continue to fish out of the Puget Sound for the next week or so. So I will still be heading to Salem without him more than likely but at least I will get to SEE him! TODAY!

The boat is coming into the harbor at 8 PM tonight. So I sit here and watch the minute slowly go by. Butterflies in my stomach as I can hardly contain my excitement of getting to see my husband after 2 AND A HALF MONTHS! It will be a joyous reunion! I will post pictures soon!

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...
