We are home!

With Batman in tow! :) It was great to go down and see him graduate and even more wonderful to bring him home with us!
I have lots of pics and fun stuff to share in another post (and an awesome award Batman received!).

Montgomery was nice, but the south is just a completely different way of life. I think things are just S.L.O.W.E.R. there and I am NOT a slow person. Everything took FOR.EVER. and the attitude was so laid back and not rushed. I'm not sure I could handle living there if I ever have to...

It was a good trip though and we are so glad to be home! More later... wifely duties call ;-)

The countdown continues..

And there's only 2 days left!! Hooray!

Anyone live in or been to Alabama? Any insider secrets we should know? We are going to Montgomery (Maxwell AFB).

Batman will be home soon!!

Oh and we decided just to skip over Valentine's Day yesterday since he wasn't home. Celebrating it next week instead ;-)

I can't believe I missed it!

I had this whole post in my head regarding the anniversary of this day, but I have been so preoccupied by the "Batman Countdown" that I completely missed it. Well, I guess it's only by a day or two...

Anyway, that day changed my life. It brought me this little girl



Now I won't say that everything went completely great after Feb 7th. There was this and then this and this post. I worried everyday that it was all a dream, that I was going to wake up and I wasn't pregnant. I even had dreams about it! I worried that this was going to happen again.

I don't want to ever forget where I came from or the journey, the struggles, the heartache that brought us to where we are. I think it makes me appreciate my daughter more than I would have. I certainly haven't gone through the pain or procedures that some have had to endure, but I had my fair share of disappointing months, frustrations, almost five years of unhappiness.

I thank God EVERY DAY that Brynna came into our lives. And won't ever forget our first little milestone leading up to her- February 7,2009.

Do you Etsy?

Does anyone out there have an Etsy shop? I'd love to peruse your wares. I think I'm getting addicted haha!

Having a girl could get me into to T-R-O-U-B-L-E!! Eek! ;-)

PS- to answer all your questions about sleep- Brynna usually sleeps in 5-6 hour increments- HOWEVER, lately it's been more like 2-3 hours which is why her ped thinks she may be teething (along with other symptoms)

Into the single digits

We get to go see Batman in 9 days... not like I'm counting or anything.

I think being a SAHM has made this time go by so slowly...

This is how I am greeted just about every morning:




I love it!!

:*(

I went and saw Dea.r Joh.n tonight with a friend.

What a stupid idea...


Okay, I really did have a great time with Megs and it was nice to get out and have some me time, but it made me miss Batman a WHOLE lot.
As in, tears... not just from the movie (because it was pretty fantastic AND a tear jerker- I knew it would be since I read the book), but... well, I just really miss that man. He's my whole world (besides B) and I feel kind of lost without him :( He's my other half.

The next 11 days can't go by fast enough...
