Thoughts about the future.....

I have so many aspirations & dreams for my future. I am married to a man who adores me and cannot wait to see where our lives take us each & every day. He continues to amaze me day in & day out.  He is so supportive of everything I aspire to be.

Just today, I told him I was going back to school to become either a maternity nurse or an ultrasound technician.....I also told him I was going to pursue my photography more seriously.....and, that I am gearing up to start my own company from home.  He said, "Ok Baby....when do you get started?"  Not a moment's hesitation....only encouragement came from him.

That, my friends, is what marriage is about.  He didn't question me or my reasons.  He just simply showed support & encouragement. He's so loving & caring & he just wants me to be happy. I want the same for him. I guess that's why we "work" so well together. As long as I am giving 100% and he is giving 100%, everyone's happy, right?

So, look out world!  You are about to be graced with a baby-birthin', picture takin' (ultrasound & freelance photography), business ownin' Mama! I am takin' the world by storm soon & very soon! Stay tuned for my next step!!!!

Poem/Letter to our unborn Grandson, Curt

DEAR UNBORN GRANDSON, CURT:

I’ve often wondered how the love would feel.

The love for a grandchild is so surreal.

I’ve loved you since the moment your Mommy told me about you.

The joy you’ve already brought to us is explainable too.

I love you, little one, already in my heart.

I can’t wait for the day your life truly starts.

The day you are born will be one glorious day.

A day we won’t soon forget & we’ll store the happy memories away.

Your life begins very soon here in our arms.

Grandmommy & Poppy will always shield you from all harm.

Baby Curt, we love you.  Now & forever.

The love we have for you will never be tethered.

Love always,

Grandmommy & Poppy

100 Ways & 100 Days to love your spouse: Day 25

DAY 25!!!

Try not to argue over money. Peacefully discuss future expenditures instead.  Darrell & I never argue about money. We consult one another on every penny spent.  We prepare daily for the money spent by discussing openly about where the money has gone, is going and will go in the future. Never hide what you've spent money on.  He WILL find out eventually. Fortunately, for me, Darrell trusts me & my judgement on spending money.  He never questions anything I spend and knows I spend wisely. If you are open & honest with your spouse about money, he will trust you too.

Kaitlyn's Materinty Picture.....this is where a lot of our money is going now....to Baby Curt! 4 more weeks!  But, who's counting?! LOL!!
