getting big !

Just alittle over a month and Riley will be a year old !!!! I can't wait till we have her 1st birthday party.. I found a really cute theme =) !!! I love watching her getting big but wishes she was still little .. it goes so fast !!!!!!!

In the last few months we have celebrated her first Halloween and she was a witch and a very cute one I might add !!! we also celebrated her first Thanksgiving =) she got to meet lots of new people =) !!!! and in a month we will be celebrating her first Christmas ... I can not wait till we get to have Christmas with her =) !!!!!!! I have gone crazy shopping =) !!!!

First Time

We took Riley to Chuck E Cheese for the very first time last Saturday and invited her cousin Eli to go with us and they had so much fun !!! Eli had never been before so it was both of the kids first time there !!! Eli of course lots of fun since he could do alot more than Riley, but we still put Riley on a few little rides =) and it was so much fun to see !!!!! I can not wait till she is just alittle older and we can take her and she will really enjoy it !!!!

a little catching up writing !

So .... Here we are Spetember 24th and I am alittle behind on writing =) LOL !!!! Sept 12th, Riley turned 8 months old =( growing up so fast !!!! I love it but it makes me sad at the same time =) !!! and today she is rolling and crawling all over the place !!! I bet before too long she will be walking, she already tries pulling up =) !!!

I am already busy getting ideas for her birthday party, which isn't till January but figured might as well get ahead of things =) !!!!!! Since the last time I have written, we were rearended by some guy that obviously wasn't paying attention and I had to have surgery so that was not fun !!! I went 22 years without things happening to me except when I was a baby was sick in the hospital until the last year, I had trouble with my c estion healing ,.... and that was not fun at all !!! and then had to have neck surgery !!!! I just need my life back to normal lol !!! I hate hospitals and all that so am the worst person for this lol !!!!

time flies !!

Riley will be 6 months in 4 days !!! where does the time go ???? I told Cody I wanted to get her a little cake and he just shook his head and thought I was crazy !!! he said it's not her bday and I said so it's her 6 month celebration =) !!!!! She had flipped over once and of course I was out of the room when she did it ugh ... and now that i sit watching her all the time she doesn't too .... she is already alittle stinker !!!! I love her more than anything =) !!! she is such a good baby, we were so lucky to have such a good baby with our first one !! I hope when we have more they are just as good .... I am hoping anyways =) !

=)

I want her to stay little forever but at the same time ..... I can't wait till she starts walking and learning all kinds of new things =) !! That is going to be so much fun .... I hope she will be a little prissy girl =) !

I have already thought about her 1st birthday party and started thinking about cute ideas for it lol !!! I know I know ... I am crazy !!!! but I am goin to have really cute parties for her when the times come !!!!! I can't wait !!!

Goes So Fast !

In 7 more days she will be 4 months old =) I can't believe how fast it really goes .... You always hear it goes by so fast and it truly does !!! Before we know it she will be a year old lol !!!! She is so cute as she learns new things .,.,,,, last night Cody put together her bouncer but she is still alittle small for it but won't be too much longer and today he put together her walker .. we have to put her in it and see how that goes !!!!!!!!!

saw the Easter bunny !

Yesterday we took Riley to get pictures with the Easter bunny and she was so good during them =)....... Even though she can't use her basket I had to get her a basket and some goodies to go in them !!!! I know she has Easter presents waiting for her at Nana and Pappy's which we are going over there tomorrow for Easter and she has presents at mimi's and papa's !!!! I was so excited her Easter pictures turned out so cute !!!!! Well, Hope everybody has a Happy Easter and the Easter bunny is good to ya =) !!!!! The Easter bunny will be coming to visit Riley this year =) !!!

The countdown begins for me to be sad =( !!!

Well......... I only have 12 days till I go back to work and I am just heart broken about leaving Riley =( !!! I know she will be in good hands with Cody's mom and my mom but I want her to be with me !!!! I can't even explain the saddness I am feeling and I know the closer I get to going back the more sad I will get and probably bawl my eyes out !!!!!!!!!! I am totally surprising myself b/c when I was younger and before I was even married, I always thought to myself that I couldn't be a stay at home, I would get tired of being home all the time but it's not like that !!!!!

I do have to get out sometimes so I take Riley to Cody's parents or my mom will come watch her for alittle bit just so I can go out running around for alittle bit and have some me time ..... but I love being with her !!!! Don;t get me wrong , not all days are perfect, she is a baby so of course she is fussy sometimes and that is hard b/c I don't always know what is wrong but I love this little girl more than life itself...... you always hear people say... You don't know what love is until you have a child !!!!!!! Of course you love your husband, he is your best friend, your soul mate, your rock but it is a different kind of love having a baby.... and it is the best feeling in the world ... I can't even explain that feeling !!!!!!! I don't know how many times I said I wasn't ever doing this again but the other night as I was in bed on the computer I started looking at baby names and made Cody nenrly choke to death lol !!!! He could not believe I was the one who was bringing this subject up after just having Riley and saying I was never doing this again and here... not even 3 months after having Riley I am talking about another !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said where did this come from lol !!!!!! Then he said this isn't supposed to come up for like a year =) !!! OF course he was kidding b/c everytime I said I wasn't doin this again .... he said you will change your mind and here he was right !!!!!!!!!!!! I wish there was a way I could stay home right now.... although would I really like being at home all the time, I mean I don't make much now but I have good insurance so that helps us out alot and that is the main reason I am working !!!!!!! I know I shouldn't be griping b/c I was able to go part time but I can't stand the thought of being away from her........

turning 29 !!!

My birthday was fun ...... during the day ws boring b/c I was home by myself all day so that part sucked =( !!!!! Vicki, dropped off my card and I got money=) Cody took me out Friday night though ...... we met Daron and Corbin at my parents so we could drop Riley off and then we went to Frisco and ate at Jin beh, and that was good !!!!!!!!!!!!! then we went to Main Event and played games .... we were going to bowl but after the games it was already after 10 pm and we were tired so we didn't bowl !!!!! We went back to my parents house and had cake then I opened my gifts and got money =) ...Yeah for money !!!!!!!!

Cody ....... got me a gift certificate to go and get a massage ...I can't wait till I go !!! I have been wanting one forever and now I am able to get one .... So excited !!!!!!! I used to love Birthday's and now it's like ugh another bday lol .... I can't believe I turned 29 !!!!!!!! Next year is goin to be 30 =( ..... tears lol !!!!

wish I could =( !!!!!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how I feel right now about having to leave Riley to go back to work ...... I didnt think I would be this way but I am ... I wish I could stay home so bad !!!! Of course .... we need to get a few things paid off before that could happen .... of course I have relly good insurance with my job so that part helps us out alot too ...... Hopefully once I get back to work it will get alittle easier, I do feel better that our moms will be wtching her but I would still rather be at home with her =) !!! Maybe with our next child, I could maybe stay at home with the kids =) !!!!! I am dreading April 5th so bad .....I just wanna cry and I am sure when it's closer .....I will cry alot more... I have already had one emotional breakdown... okay ,maybe 2 but the 2nd one wasn't too bad lol !!!!

we wore green !!!

It was Riley's 1st St Patrick's Day and We didn't do anything for it but Riley and I wore our green so we wouldn't get pinched =) !!!! But Cody on the otherhand didn't so guess who got pinched when he got home for lunch and I saw he wsn't wearing green HAHAHAHA !!!!

Hope Everybody had a nice St. Patrick's Day =) !!! Riley and I had a nice dy just hanging out at home !!!

Luckiest GIrl !

Love is so hard to explain ....

I know when I was younger adn dating, I thought I was in love but as I got older I realized it was no where near love !!! Being in love is the best thing ever, I know with Cody.... I can't even put it into words really but my feelings are so strong for him and I am so crazy for him ... I was that way from the very beginning. He is who I always wanna be with, he is my husband, the father of my child ( and that is just the most greatest thing ever seeing him with Riley) but he has become my best friend .... I hate being away from him even though I get mad and aggrevated at him at times.... he just looks at me and that smile of his, it is so hard to stay mad at him lol !!!! He is the most caring guy and I am the luckiest girl to have him ...... I honestly don't know what I would do without him !!!!!

He is a dedicated husband and father and Riley and I are blessed !!!! Not all guys would get up during the night to feed or change the diaper when they have to get up for work but Cody did especially when I was having a tough time after my csection... and even now he still does .... I look forward to the weekends so he will be home with us, I love spending time with him ,,,,, and I do wish he would go out every now and then just to have friend time but he would rather be at home with us =) which I am very lucky for b/c alot of guys out there .... go out with friends and go to the bars ,but I am one of the lucky ones and never have to worry about Cody doing anything like that !!!!


I LOVE CODY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 weeks !!! !

Riley is 7 weeks old today .... they grow up so fast !!! Part of me wants her to be alittle older so she starts doing things and learning but then part of me wants her to be this little forever !!!!! I am already dreading going back to work, and it breaks my heart having too !!! I have loved being able to stay at home with her, it is awesome that I get 12 weeks off for maternity leave !!! I love spending time with her, looking at that little face and knowing Cody and I created this beautiful little girl !

Time Flies !!!!

So ,,,,, here it is March 2nd already .... why is it that as we get older time just seems to fly by ? There is only 17 more days till my birthday ...yeah I guess !!!! I used to couldn't wait for my birthday and now here I don't know if I really want it to come ..... I will be 29 =( !!!! I love my life right , I love being married and being a mommy but every now and then I do miss being a kid !!! You know when you are a kid things are so easy .... you don't have to work and you get to enjoy summers by not working or going to school..... oh how I used to love the summers =) !!!! You know when I was younger ,,,I could not wait till I was 16 then when I turned 16, I couldn't wait till I was 18 then I couldn't wait to be 21 and now I want time to slow down LOL !!!!!!! How did the time go so fast .....WoW ..here I will be 29 ....almost 30 =( !!!! So SAD lol !!!!!

I wanna do something fun so I am going to find something fun to do =) maybe going to a Stars game or Dave N Busters ... =) !!!

a great date night !!!!!

So Last night we had our date night since we didn't get to go out for Valentine's we went out last night !!! We dropped Riley off at Mimi's and then we went to Dave N Buster's and ate and had the best meal !! We both had the same steak and it was sooooo good ...... I wish I had it right now again lol !!!!! Then we went down and played lots of games and got tons of tickets .... we had over 8,000 tickets so we got Riley several stuffed animals and one of them was a big pony ...so cute !!!!!!!! We had so much fun..... well at least I did !!!! It is so nice being able to get out of the house =) Now I wanna get out and do lots of stuff but of course we have to limit it b/c it costs to much to do stuff !!!!!!!! But last night was so much fun ....... Now maybe our big night out can be my bday =) !!!!!! I am going to have to start thinking about what I wanna do for my birthday !!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I will be 29 =( tear lol !!!! Where does the time go !!!! Sometimes..... it still feels like I should be 16 lol !!!!!

I love Dave N Busters also b/c that was where we went on our first date ....... We went to eat at CheeseCake Factory then there and played tons of games then =) we went out for our first date then spent every weekend together after that ,,,,, and we haven't even been married a yr yet and we already have a baby lol !!!!

So Cody was sick last Tues night till about Thursday and Friday he felt much better only come Friday morning ...... I WAS SICK !!!!!!!!!!!!! Here I was starting getting sick and I don't think I have ever been so sick in my entire life !!!!!!! so I was sick Friday till Sunday but Sunday still didn't feel too great and of course Sunday was Valentine's Day =( !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to go out and do something fun since I hadnt been ab;e to much and here I was sick and didn't feel like it !!!!! Friday when I was so sick in bed though ,,,, Cody had flowers delivered to me but of course I didnt hear the door b/c I was supposed to answer the door and get them but he ended up getting them on the porch and bringing them up to me !!!!!

Anyways .... Sunday I felt better but not totally 100 % so we just laid around on the couch and watched tv and it was so nice just being with him !!!!!!


Riley had a nice Valentine's Day .... she got a bear from mommy, and alittle my little pony stuffed animal from daddy, and mimi and papa got her a stuffed little frog, and pappy and nana got her a cute little butterfly =) !!!!!!! She got lots of goodies for her 1st Valentine's Day =) !!!!!!!!!!!


Well ...... Vday is over but since we didnt get to go out we are goin to go out another night =) !!!

It's Your Love !!!!!!!!

This is one of my all time favorite Tim Mcgraw songs, this was Cody's and I first dance at our wedding !! and it is pretty perfect explaining for how I feel about Cody !!!!!!!!!!





Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doing all over again.



Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go.



It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love.



Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free.



Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
And if you asked me why I changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name.



It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love.



Oh, Baby
Oh…


Oh it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go.



It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
about the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love.
It’s Your Love,
It’s Your Love.

Tomorrow is TGIF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, here it is Thursday night ..... yeah tom is FRIDAY WOO HOO !!!!!!! Everybody always can't wait for the weekend to come around ..... We dread Mondays lol and when Mondays come .... We can't till Friday !!!!!!!

I don't know what we will be doing this weekend, hopefully Cody will be well by then so we can do something fun !!!! I plan on having a drink this weekend if we get to go out !!!!!

Could not imagine !

Last night about 8 pm Cody started getting so sick =( and still has it today and it's after 7 pm so I have had Riley all by myself and of course she has been fussy off and on and it's not always easy at times !!!!!

But it made me realize big time how hard it would be having to raise a baby or kid all alone and there are so many people out there that have too .... I know if I ever had too I would do what I had to do but it's hard and frustrating at times and you don't realize how much you have help with a baby until u don't for a couple days !!!!!

I think highly of any parent whether the kid is newborn, a few years or even teenagers etc.... b/c it is never easy ... things just change with age !!!!! When they get older you have other things to worry about such a sex, drugs, driving, and all that kind of stuf but it definately makes it easier to have a spouse !!!!!

I could not imagine being a single parent =( !!!!!!!

You don't realize !!!!!!

I don't think you really realize how much you miss something until you can't do it ..lol !!! I miss taking a bath so bad .. I know it won't be much longer or at least I hope he won't but still I am dying to take a bath !!!!!! I would love to just take a regular shower and not worry about having to cover my incision area lol .... it is such a pain !!!!!!!!! I am so glad I am not hurting all the time now woo hoo and I am starting to get back to normal =) !!!!!

On the hunt !!!

So the other day I found the cutest bear ever and of course I had to get it for Riley's Valentine's present !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be her 1st Valentine's Day =) !!!! It's going to be so much .... Hmmmm ...wonder what else she will get for Valentine's !!!!!

I have to find a cute Valentine's day shirt or outfit for her ... They had them at Walmart and of course they were for bigger kids =( !!!! I hope I can find one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So ..... Now I am on the hunt for a cute Valentine's outfit or shirt for her lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Fast !

Riley will be 1 month old in 5 more days .... time seriously does fly by =) !!!!! I can't wait till she starts doing things .... I know you probably think I am crazy for saying that lol and at the same time I want her to stay this small also =) !!!!!! I just can't wait to go through the different stages with her and watching her grow up and learn !!!!!! She has so much to learn and here Cody and I get to teach her =) !!!!!!! She is just the most precious gift I could ever ask for .... and when you have a baby ,,, the love is like nothing else ..... so very hard to explain !!!!!!!!!!!!
and you always here as bad as some hate being pregnant lol ( I was one of them ) It was so worth it !!!!!!!
Of course ,,,, right now I don;t wanna even think about having another and of course Cody would like to have 1 or 2 more but I don;t know !!!! We will see when the time comes, he thinks I will change my mind but I think I could really be happy with just 1 !!!!!!!!

Happy Bday Cody

Yesterday Feb 5, 2010 was Cody's 30th bday so Happy birthday baby .... I love you !!!!! I hope you had an amazing day considering we had alittle argument and I got my feelings hurt really bad and was mad at you for quiet awhile !!!!!!!! When he got home from work .... he got his presents for Riley and I and then alittle bit later, we sat down to have along talk about our argument and made up !!!!! Then we got ready and dropped Riley off at Nana and Pappy's then went to dinner for Cody's bday !!!!!!!!

Here is such a great guy and I am so lucky to have him ...... such a good looking guy at 30 =) !!!!

Saturday Feb 6th ....... I threw him a alittle surprise party with just family so that was fun =) !!!so I hope he had a wonderful day today also ... I really wanted to do something really special for him but haven't been able to do much with just having a baby and complications !!!!! but I think he was SURPRISED .... I hope anyways !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Cody .... Riley and I Love You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shoppin To Do !

Valentine's Day is coming up so I am goin to have to do some shopping !!!!!! I have to find something for cody .... maybe candy and alittle gift card or something for him and also find alittle something for Riley =) !!!!! Here it will be her first Valentine's Day =) I need to get her a cute Valentine's Day shirt or something ...... so cute !!!!!!!

Hmmmm..... wonder what Cody and I will do for Valentine's ??? Maybe dinner and who knows what else !!!!!! IF I don't have my stupid vacuum thing attached to me then we will get to go out and I am so ready to go out when I am feeling good =) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I need to figure out what to get Riley for Valentine's Day =) !!!!!

hate being stuck inside !

I am starting to feel like getting out of the house more thank goodness b/c being cooped up is not for me .... of course it's not as easy to pick up and go when you have a newborn b/c you have to make sure you have everything ready in the diaper bag, formula packed, etc lol and of course I haven't been able to drive so have been stuck at home .... and now that I can drive I still can't lift the car seat so still stuck at home lol !!!!!

I'm cooped up in the house and when I get out it is to go to the dr .... I am having to go 3 times a week and I hate going to the dr's anyways so this really bites !!!!! I don't really wanna go out now b/c I have this stupid vacuum thing that is attached to my incision but it is helping it heal faster and hopefully I won't have to wear it after this Friday WOO HOO !!!! I hope anyways lol !!! Just please let me get back to normal..... I can't wait till I can take a nice hot bubble bath =) !!!! I can't wait to get out and go shopping or a pedi ....yeah so fun !!!!

Very Much Needed !!!!

Well, today Cody's parents came by and brought us some food =) and they visited with us and saw Riley ... she enjoyed seeing Pappy and Nana !!!!! and then we got ready and went to my parents and hung out for alittle bit so I could get out of the house and I think it was very much needed ........ I am not one for being cooped up in the house but I think it was starting to get to me after 3 weeks of being in pretty much except the dr's office and to the hospital .... and one date night that was like for an hour , hour and a half maybe !!!!
I am starting to feel better Thank goodness so now I should feel like getting out once I get rid of my little thing that is attached to my incision area..... Hopefully by the end of this week I will be done with it !!!!!! My area still hurts but nothing like it was.... I think I am getting around much better now then I was =) !!!!

Hopefully ....... We will plan a date night maybe for Valentine's Day and go out for alittle bit probably dinner and who knows what else but even if it's just dinner at least we can have some mommy and daddy time !!!!!!! You have to always make time for each other ... even Riley's pediatrician told us that !!!!!

TIme Flies !!!!!

I miss having a girls night out with my friends .... When I lived in Wichita My friends and I would go out every so often for a drink or two and relax and enjoy a drink and that was so much fun !!! I used to go back every now and then and we would go out for drinks and eat and visit and hang out since we didn't get to see each other that often since I didn't live there anymore .... which I used to go back quiet abit and now I don't get back that much !!!!!

Even when I was in Mckinney ..... a couple of girls I worked with would go out every now and then after work for drinks and that was so much fun !!!!!! I miss that ...... hanging out with the girls =) !!!!


Things definately change when you get married, and have a baby, and work ...... It's called growing up lol !!!!! You know when I was younger I could not wait till I was older and now that I am older .... I sometimes still wish I was young again !!!!!! I love my life don't get me wrong .... but being the adult you are the one responsible for things now instead of your parents .... you have to go to work and pay the bills, and put food on the table..... wasn't it nice being young and not having to worry about anything lol !!!!!! Of course we all have to grow up .... it just seems to happen really fast ........ It seems like here you are one day in Elementry, Jr high and High School and the next thing you have graduated and working and have your own bills ..... then here you are almost 30 !!!!!! WOW..... 30 !!!!! Time really does just fly by lol !!!!!!

why so emotional ?

Do you ever just feel emotional and don't really know why ? I have been so emotional the last 2 days and Cody of course asks what is wrong and asks if I am okay and I tell him I don't know what is the matter with me !!! I am happy with everything , my marriage, and just having a baby !!! So what is the matetr with me ???? I feel Crazy lol !!!!! B/c here I am just bawling for no reason and don't have any idea why =( !!!!!!!

COdy thinks it's my hormones that are going crazy ....... and also b/c I have been stuck in the house which I am not used too doing ... I am usually always out and about untill now .... I have only been out to Dr's appointments !!! COdy did take me out to dinner one night just to get me out of the house which was really nice but I still didn't feel great !!!


I think it's just getting to me that I don't feel great ( although I am starting to feel better ) =) yeah .... but I am ready to get back to normal and feel great again and be able to do stuff and feel like going out and about !!!

I hope It's just my hormones going crazy right now ... and that I don't feel good b/c of my cold that is making me Blah !!!!!!!!

Dind't think it would be so hard lol !

Cody and I went out for the first time Saturday night since having Riley and It was alot harder leaving her than I thought lol !!! It took me forever to decide to go out .... which is not like me because I love going out to eat ...and here I was I couldn't decide if I wanted to go or not !!!! I sat there probably like an hour saying I dont know If I wanna go lol !!! Cody was like what is stopping you from going and I was like I just don't wanna leave her =) !!!!! I am kinda scared how I am going to be when I go back to work ..,,, I think that is goin to be harder than I thought =( !!!

Nothing beats that feeling !!!

My daughter was born January 12, 2010 and I have to say ..... as much as I hated being pregnant .... I can't explain that feeling you have that first time they show you your baby ..... There is nothing in the world that beats that feeling !!!!!

I was very surprised at myself the day before my scheduled csection and the day of .... the day before I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck but kept myself busy ..... and I actually slept which I didnt think I would and we got up early on the 12th since we had to be at the hospital at 7 or 7:30 and got ready and headed that way .... we arrived at the hospital a few minutes after 7 am . They got me into my room and all set up then my mom and nanny arrived shortly after and we sat there visiting and I believe Mark and Vicki came next then the others came =) !!!! We had a crowded room..... Everybody was waiting and super excited to meet Riley Paige Land ...their Granddaughter, and Niece !!!


They took me back close to 7:30 and Riley was born at 7:49 am on January 12th !!!! SHe weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 18 inches long ...... They showed me her over the little curtain and I cried and Cody cried ( Such an amazing feeling ) to share this with the person you love so much !!!!

They got me to the recovery room where I stayed for about an hour and fed Riley and then they got me into my own room and everybody got to come in to see me =) !!!!!!! They didn't stay long so I could rest !!!!

The next several days ...... We had tons of visitors !!!!!! It is so hard to get any rest though at hospitals with all the staff coming in and out of the room to check the baby and to check you ... especially the first 2 nights checking me alot since I had surgery !!!!! I went in on Tues and we finally got t go home n Saturday and we were so ready =) !!!!!!!!! We were both exhausted and ready t get home .... which they kept us all freakin day Saturday ... we were ready to leave at 9 am and got home at 6 pm !!!!


Such a wonderful feeling though ...the first time seeing your baby ( here is this little life that you and your husband created) such a miracle and a blessing !!!

A blessing !!!

We were married APril 18th, and went on our honeymoon the following day to Mexico and stayed several days ...... we both wanted to start trying to have a baby pretty soon after marriage b/c who knows how long it might take !!!!! It may take a long time or it might not but you don't know !!!! We got home and got back to normal and Cody said I was pregnant before I even took a test lol !!!! He noticed my moods and I was different I think that is what he said hehe !!!! So I took 2 pregnancy tests and they were both POSITIVE =) !!!!! I made a dr's appt to confirm so we went and they did a blood test and I was Pregnant !!!!


After that Dr's appt we went to start telling people right away ,,,,,,,, We told his parents first and then my parents and both parents were so excited !!!! then I called and told My brother and then we went to tell Chris, and Megan,and Eli and Megan screamed ...... so was really excited !!! then told Luke, Allison and Brit and they were excited for us !!!!


I went to the female dr when it was time and I was pregnant and was due January 12th, 2010 !!!

My home preg test I took.... Cody saw it first and I was doing laundry and he asked if I was goin to look and I was like it's negative and then I went and looked at was Positive.... I was like I need to sit down =) LOL !!!!! Of course I was happy and shocked that it had not taken that long at all and of course I hugged Cody b/c we were both so happy !!!!!

WOW !!!

Before I met Cody ... I had gone out with several guys here and there and was just having the worst luck with guys , and was fixing to give up on dating for awhile ... who needed a guy that was going to be a jerk to be or wasn't sure what he wanted or think that he could play me .... I was better off Single !!! It was nice being single for awhile but eventually you do wanna find that one person who you can't live without! SO here I was fixing to give up on guys when I met Cody and Although I was trying to not let myself fall really hard and fast for him, that didn't work so much ..lol !!! We went out for the first time in August 2008 and from then on spent every weekend together ... It was alittle hard b/c I loved in Mckinney and he lived in Denton but we made it work and a few months later we were engaged !!!! Here I had fallen for him so fast which usually wasn't like me, and I had always said I would date someone a year before thinking about marriage and I had totally threw that out the window lol !!! We talked alot getting to know each other though before we were engaged and we both knew what we wanted, both wanted to find that someone who made them happy, laugh, loved being with, who you couldn't wait to see , we both wanted kids =) !!!
So ...... here we were engaged by Thanksgiving and had met in August and we didn't want a long engagement and even thought about getting married in December !!!! But we waited and got married on April 18th, 2009 !!!!! I could not have asked for a better wedding, it was my perfect fairytale wedding and it was my PRINCESS DAY FOR SURE !!!!! We left after the ceremony and stayed at a hotel then left the next morning for Mexico ,,,, and our hotel was amazing !!!!! We stayed at a more expensive place but not that many days so we could and it was awesome !!!! I think it was meant to be with us, and even though I thought I would never consider marriage so soon of meeting someone, I just knew it was right with Cody, I hated being apart from him, and could not wait to see him on the weekends !!!!!! It is so hard to explain love ....... but when you have finally met that special someone who has your heart ,,,, it is the greatest feeling in the world !!!!!!
