I believe in Love that lasts.
I believe in good morals.
I believe that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!
You can find a lesson in anything and everything. Though it is really hard sometimes, I believe you can gain strength and grow from each and every obstacle that life throws your way.
I believe in Karma.

DAY 08: A moment
On December 10, 2010 my husband, then fiancé, went out in Austin to celebrate my sister's birthday. We had something planned for the next morning that was making his stomach toss and turn a bit so we didn't stay out too late celebrating.
Saturday December 11, 2010...exactly three weeks after our engagement had begun, I sat down to take a test.... in the bathroom... a test that would determine the rest of my life! The first test's result appeared within 20 seconds... Positive. I called for my husband to come into the bathroom and revealed to him that we need to take the other two that came in the box. I waited a few minutes while thoughts and worries filled my brain. My husband's face was quite pale but he couldn't keep showin' those pearly whites, big grin.
I took the other two and with in less than a minute...both positive. I'm pregnant...!!!! We both just started laughing that then turned into cheerful tears. Definitely not planned...definitely a lot to do to prepare...but we were both thrilled.
We spent the day around town..mainly in silence...so many things going through both of our heads.
I was about a month pregnant, now I'm 5 months and I'm still in shock! Excited to meet the little guy in 4 months!!

DAY 07: Your Best Friend
I am quite hesitant with best friends. I've had some rough friendships through the years and "best friend" didn't mean anything to me. I had a lot of "best friends" that have turned their backs on me, as I'm sure I turned my back on them at some point. So I never believed in the name. I believed in "she's my best friend for right now" Until I met Taylor.
***Now, my husband is my real best friend. My best friend through life that listens to everything and always has my back, however everyone needs a gal best friend.. a sistaa :)
When Taylor and I met, we didn't get along. We had a lot in common ;) that didn't mix well with each other. We met during my third year in college when I had just transfered from Sam Houston to Texas State. Though we didn't care for each other, we still hung out with the same group of people and therefore had to tolerate each other and be "friends" with smiles and drunken hugs.
After a few years of forcing our friendship, I hated to admit that the whole time I had known her, I actually thought she was nice/cool/gorgeous (which might have contributed to why I didn't like her so much?) I hated that I actually was interested in what she had to say and found myself wanting to be like her. UGH! Don't you hate it when that happens!?!
I gave in to the temptation when she desperately needed a place to live. I had an extra bedroom and graciously offered it to her ( I mean cheaper rent for me right??) Living together was something that I was open to and am so glad.
Taylor is not only my best friend but I look at her as my sister. (I do love my amazing sister Brooke, and my new sister-in-law, Amanda) So I feel so lucky to have three beautiful and supportive sisters. Taylor and I have a connection that is undeniable. When some see us together, they don't understand how we're two different people--we talk the same, look alike, think alike...everything is in sync with us. I love being around her though she gets annoying sometimes too :) like a real sister!
I finally have a best friend that I truly believe will be in my life through odds and ends and I love her so much that I will proudly and strongly stick by her side through anything. We're the Meredith and Christina, the Rachel and Monica, the Thelma and Louise, the Kelly and Donna!!! ;)
Love you Tay! IIIII MMEEEAAAANNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
*BH Love!

DAY 06: Your Day today
I'm excited to write about my day today since a few days ago I wrote about what a "blah" day I was having. But I actually want to write about my day yesterday too! I didn't get all the things on my To-Do list done, nor do I plan to. (I'm sorry, I just don't feel like cleaning out any closets)
Yesterday I went shopping :\ with some of our wedding gift cards and I bought all new things for our bedroom! We've had a full bed for as long as we've known each other and it's been tight..and getting more tight with my ever growing belly. So a week or so ago, we bought a queen!! yay! But we didn't have a queen comforter! When I have a vision, I go all out.
So my vision was bright, happy, positive, on the white side. I've always decorated my room kind of dark but this time I wanted something better. (Almost a beach-y feel but not overdone)
New white/blue comforter, new light blue sheer curtains, new antique teal and white nightstands, new white shelves...NEW ROOM!! I love it!
I also got some photos printed and put those happily in some picture frames that are now filling my house! And I did cook ribs last night that was very yummy..and I plan on cooking something yummy tonight! It's been a productive two days!!

DAY 05: Your definition of Love
That's a hard statement because I think love is different for everyone-each friendship or romantic relationship has a different type of love.
My definition of love with my husband is...
Acceptance.
He will never change and I will never change unless one of us really wants to. So we have to accept each other 100% as we are. Which we did awhile ago btw.
Also, Compromise...so important.
But most importantly, feeling like you can tell them anything. Best friends. Love that is fun at times, hot at others, and deep/meaningful in between.
That's how I look at love :) oh...and trust is without a doubt a necessity!

Blah Day!
Being unproductive sucks. It's the first day of spring break and I decided that I would rest and relax over the break (since I'm milking being pregnant and all). So after a day of doing absolutely NOTHING, I don't think I can "rest" all break! Not only have I been a bum, I was supposed to cook a scrumptious dinner tonight and that hasn't worked out either! So I literally did nothing productive today ha!
Tomorrow (and the rest of the week)'s To-Do list:
-clean out the two guest bedroom closets
-buy a comforter
-finish putting away wedding gifts
-get wedding photos printed and start a scrapbook
-buy shoes for a wedding this coming weekend
-go to the woodlands/conroe friday!
That should keep me busy and on top of all that, I'm going to cook dinner hopefully every night! Nothing wrong with being lazy..not to mention on a MONDAY! The one day that everyone wants to be lazy...but I'm going to be ready to be movin tomorrow (after I sleep in of course)!

DAY 04: What you ate today
You would think that because I'm pregnant I would be eating crazy stuff. But I haven't even had any weird cravings so it's not too weird.
Honey Nut Cheerios
Blue Berry Muffin
Yogurt
Turkey Sandwich
and I'm making bbq ribs for dinner!!
