LIFE: Three Years Ago

Three years ago at this time I was making myself lay down in bed after scrubbing down with the "prescribed" soap for pre-op, knowing that in a few short hours I would be up doing it again. 

Three years ago I was thinking that I had no idea what the next season in life was going to look like. 

Three years ago I was over thinking all the things, and super thankful that God slowed my mind down enough to get a wink of rest before the next morning.

You see, three years ago January 15th at the 12 AM I was making myself go to sleep because I had a scheduled c-section to meet a baby that I did not know the gender. I had a ball of every emotion hitting me because I had waiting since I was a child to be a mama ( yes as a 6 year old I knew that I was destined to be a mama-- there is a story of the time my babysitter had an emergency and my soon to be at that time stepmom had to stay at the house until parents could get there but she did not want to change diapers and I pushed her aside to change the diapers). It had been 9 years of marriage watching all of our friends have babies, and the next morning a doctor I trusted A LOT was going to cut me open ( if you have read my pregnancy journey, you know how much the whole c-section thing was NOT my goal but I trust my doctor and learned things about my body that made it pretty impossible to deliver naturally.)

Where have the past three years gone? Two cross country moves, two churches, lots of amazing framily members have made the past three years seem like a lifetime. 

Our sweet boy has such love for all of his family and friends. He loves "Big Fish" (Sea World), the Zoo, Starbucks, Target, Opps She Bee ( H-E-B),  monster trucks, the Bus (school van), and lost but not least Adventures and Treats. 

Happy Birthday Sweet M! Here's to many more adventures and treats.

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

LIFE: The Thing I was Promised I Could Not Do

I feel like every post I make, I am finding more of my voice again. I never in my life felt like I would have a voice to share about some of the more body related posts that I have made, but here I am to share about another personal body part- lol! I realized I had not shared about my breast feeding journey and I feel like it is something that might help someone. So the journey starts on a very cold day in January 2018. As I have noted in previous blogs, I had a c-section which was not 100 percent my goal but 100 percent perfect in every way. I was told going into my c-section that it may take a little longer for my milk to fully come in but it was not going to be impossible. So when my little guy was able to join me in the room we would be in, we went to work. I was still very medicated and he made his wiggly way to the source. I knew not much was coming but he was happy at the end of each feeding attempt, but his blood sugar was low and the nurses wanted me to switch to formula and w...
