Where Have All The Years Gone?
WOW.
Yes, that was a big wow.
And seriously, where have all the years gone? Reminds me of that song by Paula Cole, Where Have All The Cowboys Gone??!
Let's see. Life update:
I fell in love in 2013|Er0S - the year of love. The first time I saw him and hugged (but oh so desperately wanted to kiss him) him was on April 7, 2013. We had reconnected (thanks to his Saturday night message on Facebook) and talked on the phone, but once we saw each other again...we both knew. They say, "When you know, you know," and I never liked to hear that as a SWF because it is SO cliché but how true it really is.
After working at DENY Designs and believing it was my dream job. Art and relationships? Yes, please.
... things began to shift and before I knew it .. I was buying my first house across the continental divide, back on the western slope of Colorado: WesCO.
On February 7th, Jeff McKenna proposed his love for me and asked me to marry him. I've never been so hot and excited in my entire life!
Four months later, we were wed inside a castle nestled in the Rocky Mountains with family and dear friends from literally all over the country and world supporting us with their love, joy and celebrations. It was spectacular!
Continue in life and love and we find out we are going to have a baby! The baby's due date was on January 7th - the day that 12 years prior Jeff and I had first met... kind of special if I don't say so myself! <3 nbsp="" p="">
We had opted to not have a gender reveal, instead, wait until the delivery room where once birthed, see the sex of our baby. A baby boy it was! Colton McKenna blessed our souls and made us a family. The joy he has brought to us has been unexpected and miraculous. It's said you don't know what you don't know.. but let me write this and say, the feelings and love you feel for something so small and so amazing.. it's almost indescribable (especially to someone who doesn't have a baby yet). And once again, when you know, you know. I once read that having a baby is liking the feelings you get in the 7th grade when you see your crush. It's butterflies and crazy emotions every single day and basically every single second of every day. Just incredible. Colton has graced us with his chill personality and sweetheartness (not a word, but a a feeling of truly a sweet heart... never knew the meaning of a sweetheart until I had Colton) since January 5th. It is good he had his own day and arrived a little before his due date. He came into the world after 18 hours. I would say long hours but there is no such thing as a short or a long hour . .. just an hour. But, I will say there was a lot of pain that was involved during the labor. I did have some relief in the hot bath and through acupuncture but without pain medicine, IV (of any sort) I proudly gave birth to a perfect baby!
Yes, that was a big wow.

Now, 10 months later, I love being a Momma (and hearing our Colton say Momomomom!)
and especially a wife to my husband.. Life is sweet and I am so blessed.
