2 years ago...we were waiting...and waiting...

Here is the post from 2 years ago from my old blog...It is hard to believe that he is going to be 2 in less then 10 days. Where has this time gone...The first year went by so fast...this past year has gone by fast, but so much has happened...so many milestone...I picked him up from my mother's house after she watched him over night a few weeks ago and he took my breath away...it was like he went from baby to toddler over night...where has my baby gone? He is the sweetest little guy...I truly believe that all children are hand pciked for their family whether it be a bio baby or an adopted baby...they are hand pick...kissed by the lord...I can see the lords kiss on him every day. I useto stand over his crib, before he came home and would pray for the lord to bring us a healthy baby...and he fullfilled all my prayers. After losing a friend to cancer this week...it really makes you appreciate the things you have around you. I will be making entries from 2 years ago through out the next 2 weeks...how you enjoy memory lane!

We're still here...
Yes we are...I guess it was false labor. Oh well. In good time. We are all ready to go so when the call comes we are ready! I have turned over this part over to God. I can't handle the stress anymore. It is killing me. We have no control over this and it is crazy to be this stressed out. I feel so much better this morning after turning it over. What a weight that has been lifted. It is any day now, so I will go to work and continue my same old routine. So I lied when I said you would see my next post annoucning our little guy. It is hard to stay away from blogging. It seems to be the place I can go and let it all out.This summer has been so hot, I feel so bad for those who are pregnant this year. My mother said this is the type of summer it was when I was born. So, we are still here...very patiently waiting...truly we are!

20 year reunion...

Me in 1989....

Patrick and Jeff...Best Buds...



Me and Beth...we go as far back as middle school...

Bill, Me and Jeff...grade school friends...Jeff and I were best friends in High School...

Me and Katie...Best Friends!!

Well it was this weekend and we had a great time! Reconnecting with old friends...there is nothing like it! It was alot of fun...classmates came from all over...one flew in from Norway, some from California, Florida, Carolina's, and most of the other states. It started out at OHD's Beer Tent, then to Saturday to the formal get together and then today a family Picnic, which we are on our way to now.

Even though the only ones who knew I was down 45 lbs. was my hubby and Katie and Patrick, I still felt great! My back held out and I feel wonderful today...my core is getting stronger and stronger everyday! I have been working on the Pilates machine at PT and I feel like crap when I get home but the next day I feel wonderful!

20 years has come and gone, I look at the years and they really have gone by fast...many boyfriends ago, many friends ago, my husband, 6 pregnancies, our little Joe, Julian entering into our life and here we are...with our best friends by our side, our family, each other...nothing can stop us. We have God on our side...he is with me every minute of everyday...helping me make the choices that a healthy woman/wife/mother would make in her life. No toxic friendships, relationships, just pure love for who is here with us now. Ones who have stood by us through think and thin...the joys of bringing home our son, watching him grow in to a wonderful little boy. He will be 2 next month. Who could think that time has gone by this fast...well 20 years did!

Sending you all Hugs and Blessings!
