Well, I think about that book every time I look at my life. Eight years ago, I never even knew my husband. It was after my grandfather had passed in November 2002, that I decided to go out on a limb and place a personal ad with a popular dating service. A few days later, I started chatting online with this guy named "Sean." We started talking online, and then progressed to talking on the phone. On December 10, 2002, we had our first date at a local botanical garden.
Well, we've been together since then. Although we lived about two hours apart, we made a point to see each other about once a week. He was still working, as I was still in nursing school. In May of 2003, we were in a wedding for a good friend of his. Well, low and behold, a month later we found out I was pregnant. OMG!!! I haven't even finished nursing school. For my fellow nurses, we all know just how stressful nursing school is already, without adding a baby into the mix!! Plan of action...I think Sean was already considering the military, though he decided to go with the Reserves.
So we got married in July 2003, and then five days later he left for basic training. He returned home about 1 1/2 months before DS#1 was born (having being taken early by c-section due to me developing HELLP syndrome). So, here we are at present day, still married, now a SAHM working per Diem at a local hospital, and 3 very beautiful boys. So basically, eight years ago, I had no idea that my life would be what it is today...I LOVE IT!!!
"Oh The Places You'll Go"
With all that said, (even though I was against putting any pictures of the boys here), here is DS#1 receiving his 1st three belt loops with cub scouts. I love my life! (and no that's not me with him, that's one of our wonderful pack leaders)
