Love and be Loved

I'm pretty sure I deserve an award of some sort...

JC and I have been together for many many years though our path hasn't been traditional. In fact, I've only carried his last name for just a few years. We met on February 4th twenty-five years ago, so it seemed fitting that we legally got married on Valentine's Day. I hope he appreciates this combination of events into a single day a year!

Our marriage is far from perfect, but it is also filled with love, laughter, and security. It's taken a lot of hard work to get to the place we're at, but I'm thankful everyday that we're here. Over the years he has stood by my side and supported the decisions I've made, good or bad. He makes me laugh, kisses me daily, and never tells me NO.

This year we took a short trip east to Sheverport, LA to hit up the casinos and an impromptu Mardi Gras parade. We didn't win a single dime, but the place we stayed at was well worth it (see image above). I found this adorable Airbnb farmhouse 15 minutes outside of town, it was absolutely perfect for the occasion.  


No boobies were shown for the 10 lbs of beads around my neck.

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!

In the midst of it all...

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.
