What i didn't know.....

five months ago five years ago

I knew but i didn't how much i would love being a mom. It's the greatest gift of all! Im so thankful. And i will say the first month after having Mia, JOn had to have a minor surgery, but nevertheless, it was a little stressful for the three of us. Picture this, a brand new baby to love and to get to know, and to adjust to a new schedule, a husband who had to have a surgery that was very painful for him, and balancing a new life for me, stay at home mom, cleaning, working on the computer from home a few hours, playing with Mia, new to breastfeeding, etc. etc. To say the least it was a little overwhelming in the beginning, and a little stressful on our marriage. I never thought it would be, but we are all human right! Well, on our five year anniversary we took a much needed night away together and it was so amazing. We started reading through a book called love and respect, and it has done amazing things for the both of us. I cherish our time together reading it. Even with all those new things going on in our life, i have grown closer to the man i call my husband and my daughter's father. Yes life can get to you, but you can make it through the grace of God more amazing then it was before.

Now Lovely, here is the tag results!! This does take a majour emotional look back!

5 Years ago:

2003: I married the love of my life. I was planning the wedding from the moment i got back in January from getting engaged. I had flown to Pittsburgh to spend time with Jon and his family the 26th of December. I was getting off the plane and riding down the escalater (sp) when Jon was standing at the bottom with a dozen roses. I thought aww how sweet he missed me ! He was acting a little nervous, but didn't think much of it, then he got on one knee and said that he knew from the moment he met me that he wanted me to be his wife, and that he didn't want to spend the rest of his life without me, then pulled out an amazing ring and asked me to be his wife. It was one of the best moments of my life, i said yes, and he hugged and kissed me. We had a great week together. Thus came planning our wedding, he moved to Montana that May after he graduated from Penn state. We had a beautiful wedding shared with amazing friends and family and then had a great honeymoon in the Bahamas.
