My One and Only

-
This past weekend we headed up to Lubbock to see my Bubba off. He's been diligently applying to oil rig jobs and he finally got a call back. We were stoked for him, but deep down it made my stomach turn. My One and Only son would be moving hours away, out of state, with no family or friends to accompany him. I knew right away my husband and I had to get to Lubbock to help him prepare for his 12 hour drive to Fruita, CO. He seemed a little shook when we arrived and I could tell he too was nervous, but ultimately I know he'll be just fine. We took him shopping and got him new tires, then Sunday morning we woke up prayed over him and said our goodbyes. It was gut wrenching but I held it together and squeezed him as hard as I could. I know the second he set eyes on those CO Rockies he'd fall in love. Thank God he arrived safely. Today was his first day of training, soon he'll move on the rig and call it home 2 weeks out of the month. This is definitely a new chapter in life for him and I hope this experience is everything he expected and more!

Our boy finally has a voice! We hit a  monumentous moment yesterday, captured by his Mommy  and Tia and I can't stop  watching it. Munchkin is 3.5 years old and has pretty much been nonverbal apart  from a handful of words. My girl has been putting so much effort into getting him  up to speed and in a comfortable position before he starts kindergarten. He has  been seeing a speech therapist twice a week for nearly a year and is now  additionally enrolled in a half day program focusing on speech therapy.  This  simple moment of his tiny little voice vocalizing his first short but full sentence "I WANT MORE", made my heart burst instantly. Good  job Little One, your Lolli eagerly awaits your endless voice and thousands of questions!

We've finally made it to July which means we're halfway through 2020!  It doesn't even feel like the year has started for me as I've spent most of my time quarantined sitting at this very desk I type at right now. I haven't posted to my blog in a while because I feel like I have nothing to share, everyday is the same. Although, I am still thankful and blessed it feels very much like my life is on repeat. I have been lucky enough to see my immediate family members including visits from my parents, son, and in-laws. I have my husband, girls, and grandson here to love and gather support almost daily. We've even had a few limited friends over for small gatherings. For that I am thankful for. So much has happened in the last few months, it's become overwhelming and I have plenty of mixed emotions about it all.  Work Life While we've spent many quarantine hours in the pool, I've spent even more at my desk working from home. I know there are people who have...

Just had my 1st # mammogram !  Top 3 reasons I didn't think twice: 1. I'm 40 years old, my risk are higher. 2. Breast cancer runs in my family history. 3. I'm a mother of two daughters and an older sister, its my duty to lead by example. My experience: 1. It didn't hurt, but it wasn't pleasant.  2. It took a whopping 15 minutes.  3. My boobs are bigger than I thought.
