A little bit of bragging

It's coming up on one year of being married.  This is such a great feeling.  I randomly have to stop and remind myself that:

Yes.  I did win.

Crazy thing happened yesterday.  For some weird reason I decided to go through my old MySpace messages.  (After a day long conversation the day before with someone who used to be totally against me until they took the time to meet me.)  I found messages between us from when I was living in Louisiana.  And you know, I'd be more than happy to send them to anyone who still blames me for causing the divorce.  Funny, I'd forgotten that they specifically said even WAY back then that nothing that was to come was remotely my fault.  With examples given.  Is it appropriate to, at 29, say "NEENER NEENER NEENER!"?

I think that if I knew then what I know now, I might have done a few things differently.  But I'm highly satisfied at how things turned out.

As I was told the other day:

"Regardless of the road that was taken to get here, the fact remains that I love being married to you and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.  The past is the past, what matters is the future we'll have together with our family.  I love you like the birds love the wind.  Like the fish love the water, like the oreos love the milk."

I think that pretty much sums it up.  

But that is kind of funny that Oreos were mentioned.  Funny story about frying Oreos and a summertime power outage.  Oh, the memories.  Should have just said "to hell with it all" back then.  Cut out so much crap and we could have just moved on with life.  At least he then had a chance to learn how impatient I really am.

It will be one year married on May 8.  It will be three years since he found me again at the end of May.  It will be three years since I moved home on July 1.  It will be three years together mid-July.  I think that's more than enough time for people to get over it and move on with life.

And for what it's worth...  I didn't make it this far easily.  Just check with GCPD.  I've had to file reports for death threats being made towards me.  I had to have people physically removed from my place of business.  Phone numbers had to be changed.  Not that it justifies anything by any means.  But just so you know...

Just a reminder these days

We've had quite a few experiences in life lately that seem to remind us:

It's not where you live, what you live in, what you drive, the clothes you wear, the amount of money in the bank... It's who you choose share your life with.

And several times we've made the wrong decision on who to be with. But the right decision was finally made. And we're happy.

I know what it's like to feel satisfied in life.

Sure, I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. (Which is possibly changing.)  I drive a used minivan. (It's a necessitiy for 3 car seats.)  I don't get new clothes every time I want them. (I got to buy new jeans after I had Amelia out of necessity.)  We don't have the funds to do everything we want when we want to do them.  (We've already had to delay quite a few plans already this year.)

But we're happy. Life is great.

Today is Amelia's 1 month birthday. Already?!

Random vent...

People never cease to amaze me. Wow. What a weekend. Good and bad and... just different.

16 Days Old

Amelia is now 16 days old.

Breastfeeding and pumping is going great. We haven't had to supplement any formula in over a week. And it helped that we were using the little ready to feed bottles when we did the formula. If it wasn't open, we weren't pressured to use it before it wasted.

She's steadily gaining weight. I don't know of an exact amount, but you can definitely tell. She's still a little doll though.

I'm down to 134. I started out at 125. My goal is 130. But this is definitely one of the perks of breastfeeding over formula.

I did go buy some regular jeans the other day since my old ones (sizes 2 and 4) are still a bit snug. I had to break down and get a size 8 in the Dreamer style. But they fit great and Jason is happy with how I look.

Jason has been a great support and help through all of this. I'm absolutely amazed at the difference between experiences. And he's just so cute with Amelia. He's great with Audrey. But you can tell that Amelia belongs to him. He's got his girls now.
