Be Inspired...
On one of my many trips to my OB/GYN while pregnant, I looked at all the baby photos in their hall to get photo ideas. I came across one and it was too cool saying follow us as we grow and list their blog. There were many pictures of two kids, a boy and a girl. At this time, I thought we would only have 2 surviving children. Anyway, I went home and checked out their blog. I was so inspired. Two kids born 17 weeks early, blind with many other challenges but successful with two parents that were amazing. I could relate to them. They seemed young, hip, loved Pottery Barn, etc. but they do every single thing possible for these kids. This includes daily trips to Texas Children's Hospital. They told those doctors their kids would prove them wrong and the great news is they have!! I just feel like we have a lot of the same challenges but they have more so it also made me realize how lucky we are. It feels nice to know that I'm not the only "difficult" mom. If they can do it with as many obstacles they have, I sure as heck can get through this phase tired and unshowered and appreciate my situation every single day.
Missing my peeps already...
My Aunt Melinda came to visit today. I love her! She is my dad's favorite "sister" (they are actually cousins). She is such an amazing person. My brother and his girls aka my girls came over. They had not seen each other in 6 years. Jennifer, the sister I've never had joined in later that afternoon. It was an amazing day. As our visit was coming to an end, I stepped back went into the kitchen to wash bottles (story of my life) and it hit me... I'm really going to miss my people.. My Meme & Papa, my Aunt Melinda & Uncle Bobby, John & Jennifer and my girls Brooke and Kelsey. Then there are my friends and neighbors and the comfort of this house and neighborhood. I'm leaving. We are leaving. I know this isn't goodbye forever but my Meme is basically my mom and being around my Aunt Melinda and John is the closest to my dad I can get. Its weird I know but I really miss my dad and I cherish being around people that loved him as much as I did.
Bright future ahead:
You have to sacrifice in order to get what you want and to where you want to be. You don't just wake up one day and have it all. I know, we know this is such a great move. The fact that Ricky has only been with this company 2 years and is given this opportunity is amazing. But just so you all know, as excited as we are, we will miss you, our peeps dearly.
I hope you all have an amazing Christmas!
I love "all y'all" (in my best Texas voice because this girl here was born in Waxahachie, Texas) LOL Tammy :o)
