No matter what

I think one of the biggest lessons I have learned from being married for awhile is no matter what never give up. When you get married, no one ever tells you how hard it is. That when you marry young, people get older and change with whatever life hands them and at some point you either grow together or apart. I feel like if you have love, deep true love for your partner, you will always have a ground to stand on.

I know that in no way shape or form, am I the same person I was 13 years ago and neither is my husband but at some point we learn to accept each other with all of the flaws. There were times when I cried hard and felt like if we just left each other we could be happier but in truth, with someone else in 13 years you would be at the same cross roads.

Dating is the fun part! You get to know someone and they show you whatever side they want to but people can go on for years being someone that their not. Then you get married and boom! Things change and you wonder what the heck happened to that person. They simply became their true self.

I am always shocked when people tell me that they have never farted in front of their husband or their husband never knew they pooped! It cracks me up because why not? If you are comfortable enough around someone to have a baby or let them see you naked, why not? He already know you do it and I doubt that he hides it from you.

Either way never give up! UNLESS he hurts you or is unfaithful. Never give up! The relationship will only get stronger by what you go through.

I may not have everything but I have everything I ever wanted!

Here we go!!

My days have been so crazy! I thought I was busy before I had my son but now it's like I am in overdrive all of the time! Being a full time mom, wife and leader of a business is tough. I mean don't get me wrong, I knew it would be tough but I had no idea. It's funny people always say " You don't know what it is like until you have kids." It is so true! Life with one is tough, I can't imagine two. But we adapt!

Here is a typical day for me.. I get up anywhere from 5:30 to 7 if I am really lucky. Get my son up and dressed and make breakfast for him. Then, I get ready. Take Colt to daycare and then I head into work, which is never the same. Anyways, stay extremely busy for 8-9 hours and then pick up colt. Go home fix dinner for the family, eat, give colt a bath & bottle. Put him down for bed and maybe take a shower if I have enough energy. I have a hour of free time and then off to bed myself. Some where in all of that I have make sure my husband feels attention from me and I give my son the quality time he deserves. Not to mention myself.

The Blessing is having a family to love and hold. Never take for granted that they will always be here and despite how exhausting it maybe in the end....Enjoy and soak up every moment.

How it all Started!!

I see this cute boy walk into a restaurant and I proceed to make my game plan on how I am going to take him home!

I had no idea what he liked or what kind of man he really was, I only knew that he had the most amazing blue eyes and a killer smile. Not to mention he had a laugh that made you want to act like a twelve year old! I was in love!! At that time, I had no idea what love would really entail but I knew that he was the one. Problem was I had to now convince him of that.

Moving on, My game plan at the time was to put him on whatever training I could with me. I am not sure all of the next steps that followed but by the end of the night I had mustered up enough courage to ask him out. I thought I was being slick by asking him if he needed a tour guide of Dallas,  I was available. He called me that night!!

That was almost 13 years ago and here we are making our way through life together with both ups and downs, we never expected!
