Wordless Wednesday: too much fun.

25 ...

I turned 25 on Saturday....half way to 50. Scary huh? Had a good birthday though. My friends Liz and Deanna came down from Atlanta to celebrate with me on Friday and Melyanne, Edith and Darrell came over as well. It was so much fun just to hang  out with friends again. I miss having that interaction with fleshies and not techies. Don't get me wrong I love my WoW folks but its just not as much fun as having real people here with you playing Kinect and laughing. I wish that I'd had more people here but most of those people I don't think I'll see again. Which makes me sad but thanks to Facebook and other media I can watch their kids grow up as well as them and their significant others. Its nice to know that it is so easy to keep in touch with those you care about. I keep hoping that Reg and I can one day set aside the nessicary funds to go back to Utah for a week or so just so I can see people again. I remember so many wonderful moments from High School and Jr. High.  I really miss those days. Figured I'd do a post so I could post pictures from the event :)

The lovely wrapping paper that Deanna Did on my presents. They were so cute. :) They got me some original copies of my favorite series.

Monday's Memory: Engaged

Now its nothing fancy and its rather short but I thought I'd share my memories of when Reggie proposed to me. Well I'd been waiting for him to ask me for about 2 years before he finally popped the question. I'd always get answers like "i'm not sure I wanna marry you yet." or "I have a plan just be patient." It frustrated me to no end. I was always used to hearing people dated for a few months and got married. We'd been together for 2 years almost 3 when he finally proposed.

Every year Reggie's family celebrates the family Christmases on Christmas Eve since they usually go to one of Joyce's siblings or her family comes to their house (it rotates every year.) We were going to spend Christmas Eve down here with his family and I was going to go to my moms for Christmas Day since Reggie had to work that year. I hated it so much but I couldn't help his schedule. Reggie brought over Spark of Insanity and we were playing it in the back ground. We'd finished dinner and I was watching in the recliner and Reggie's parents were in the kitchen cleaning up  when the clock hit 12 AM. Well Reggie got all excited and told me that I had to get my gift then. So he got a bag out from under the tree and got down on one knee. Took the ring box out of the bag and presented me with the ring. I about died. Then amid the pause you hear "SILENCE i KILL YOU!"  What timing right. :P

 Two years later I married him at the court house surrounded by the people we loved the most and we've been happy ever since and always will be no matter what happens in life.

Happy Birthday!

Today we are going up to get some college friends of mine for my birthday weekend.I have tomorrow off so we're going to have a barbecue with them and a friend of mine from work, her baby girl and her husband. Should be a good time had by all. I'll be turning 25. Wow.....i'm getting old. I used to tease Reggie about being old when he turned 25 and this year he turned 27. Its amazing how time seems to fly by you as you get older. I remember as a kid time seemed so slow it hurt and now......I've been married for 2 years already. How did that happen. Its amazing how much you sober up knowing that you are already half way to 50 which is where life seems to slow down just a little bit. I wanted to have my kids by now and I wanted to be a teacher but I have achieved so little and time just keeps whizzing by me. I have no regrets don't get me wrong its just amazing to see what my life is now compared to how I thought it would be. I'm glad we've waited to have kids. Its given Reggie and I the opportunity to explore our intimacy and have "married" time. I do fear that it will be hard on Reggie when we do have kids. However, I have seen that side of him through Melyanne and the time we've spent with her. He'll kill me for saying this but he is wonderful with kids. I remember him telling me how much he hated being around babies and that joking that we should adopt an older child so he doesn't h ave to deal with the 1-5 years but I don't believe him now. the way he helps me with Melyanne when I babysit proves that too me. He's so kind and gentle and sweet. She may not be ours but she sure has Reggie wrapped around her little finger. So Saturday I meet 25 and what do I have to show for it. A loving husband and 6 "furry" babies who love me. I'm employed and surviving in this hard time. I have good friends who care about me all around the world and so many other blessings in this life. Happy birthday to me :)

Some times I look at my friend's pictures of their kids and find myself yearning to have what they have. Don't get me wrong my six furry babies keep me busy but its not the same. I want to hold a baby in my arm and see them smiling back at me. I want to see a little being grow up fast and look just like her father. I want to watch them crawl and walk and talk. I feel like they all belong to this club that I may never join. I know everyone keeps telling me to stop wanting a baby so badly and thats when it will happen to us but they don't understand. The only thing I've known for sure in this life time is that I want to be a mom. I want to know the joy of waking up every four hours to nurse and be drained the next day at work. I watch it happen around me with my friends and even though they say its the worst you can tell they love being a parent. I just hope that I don't end up disappointing Reggie some how if I can't have children. I shouldn't say that. I've been blessed with a vision of my baby girl. I know I'll have her some day but I can't help wanting her to join our family NOW! Yes you read that right. I've seen my baby girl. I wasn't asleep I was mediating when I saw her playing on the ground with her toys. Blond hair Brown eyes and she looked just like Reggie. I felt the joy of a mother when I saw her there smiling up at me. I know its silly but I hold on to that image each day close to my heart. Soon I keep telling myself that. And I guess since no one really reads this that will leak info....yes Reggie and I have started trying. Stupid I know since we really aren't financially ready but both of us feel like if we wait too much longer it will not happen.

unsure
