Motherhood

Motherhood, at least in my opinion, is the best job any woman can have. Can you honestly think of any other job that requires so much attention, love, nourishment, time and effort? No. There are no other jobs out that that can even compare to how fulfilling this one can be. That is the job I've been waiting for my whole life. That is the only thing I've ever wanted to be:a mom. I've dreamed of it my entire life, and now, it is finally going to come true. I'm only a little over a month along with our little miracle, and yet, I'm still counting down the days to when I can see our little baby. Nothing gets me more excited than looking at cute little baby stuff and thinking about what kind of mom I will be. There is no question in my mind, I know I will be a good mom because of how I feel about our little baby right now. I feel like that is what I'm meant to do, and I want it more than anything else. I'm ready to teach our little one right from wrong and be there to care and watch over him/her until they can take care of themselves. I know our little baby will be raised right and it will be absolutely surrounded by love because of how much love my husband and I have for one another. I can't wait to bring our little bundle of joy into our loving household. This baby will change our lives for the better and will make our little family complete!

Our half year anniversary

Today is our half year anniversary. My husband and I have been married for two and a half years now. Time flies by so fast. It seems like just yesterday we were dating. There have been so many great things that have some out of that two and a half years of our marriage. We've definitely hit some very painful, rough spots along the way and had our share of the down sides of life; but more than all that, we've definitely had the best times life can give. My best memories are from being with my husband. He can turn the darkest situations around and take my biggest fears and stresses away in the blink of an eye. I'm the pessimist, he's the optimistic one. He evens us out perfectly. He's given me everything he can and more. He's given me a home, a puppy that I've been wanting my whole life, protection, security and everything that a husband can give his eternal partner. And now, he has given me my dream: to be a mom. I'm pregnant with our first baby, and couldn't be happier. It is amazing to me that we created a little human being out of pure love for each other. This little baby will make my life complete and will bring so much joy into our little home. I will have our baby a couple months after our REAL anniversary. Life is great. He has made my life great. And every half year anniversary and real anniversary, I think back to the day that I married him. I remember the butterflies in my stomache and looking in the mirror wondering if I looked ok. Being worried that my make up would smear or that I would trip over my dress because I was still recovering from knee surgery. But when I saw his face looking at me from across the room, I knew everything was ok and that I was making the best decision of my life. His eyes said so much. The way he looked at me and the way he smiled showed me how he felt that day. I knew that he loved me and would always be there for me. I knew that no matter what happened in our lives, everything would be ok. I knew we'd always have each other for time and all eternity, and just knowing that, made my life complete. Our love has grown, and is still growing. There's nothing we wouldn't do for each other and we put each other before anything else. If that's not true love, then I don't know what is.

My Music

I love music. It has always been a huge part of my life. Everywhere I go and just about everything I do involves me listening to music. It makes tasks so much more enjoyable and music can help pass the time at work. I wish I could say that I love all kinds of music, but that would be a lie. I can't stand country. At all. I've tried so hard to like it. Heck, I was even raised listening to Oldies and Country my whole life. I love oldies, but i could never even remotely stand country. Something about the tractors and twangy guitar seems like it's a repellent to me. I could never get tired of listening to oldies though. They don't call them "oldies but goldies" for nothing! My favorite all time oldies band is the Beatles. I have loved them ever since I was about five. They will always be my all time favorite band. But as for the new music I like?I like more rock and punk sort of music. Not the ones that scream their heads off yelling mindless things, but the ones that are kinda loud and have lyrics to them that make sense. My favorite modern day groups are My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, All American Rejects, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Panic at the Disco, Fallout Boy, Papa Roach and many others. It's the kind of music that makes you feel happy(yes, even the ones that are kind of depressing make me happy) and just makes the day a lot easier to live through sometimes. Music is a huge part of a lot of peoples lives, and I'm happy to say that I'm one of those people!
