We are having a .....

I am pretty excited about what we are having! I think Mae will have a blast with a little SISTER!!!!! I hope she has the kind of relationship with her new sister that my sister and I have! HOW FUN! And not to mention we won't have to buy much of anything because we already have tons of girl stuff. I am so excited! We also have done pretty well choosing a name this time around! With Mae, it was hard to figure out the kinds of names Terry likes but we have one already that we both like!!!

So, my mom has brought over a bunch of old videos and pictures lately from back in the day. They have been fun to look through but for some reason has made me kinda sad and nostalgic too. Looking back to when my parents were still married, by brothers were all in the house still, we lived in our old house...things were so simple and fun. Oh how things have changed since then. But, you can't stop time. No matter what time is still going to pass and things are going to change and that's ok. I just need to make memories for my kids that I once had with my family. Boy do I miss the days where all my bothers and sister were still at home and my brothers would tease me, they would bring all of their hott friends over and Mary and I had so much fun talking about which one was the hottest. Jared would blast his music before his football games. Bryan and I would go to blockbuster and get treats and a movie. Matthew would always play rough house games with us to which my mother would be sure to tell us, " there better not be blood on my carpet!!" As I was watching the videos last night by myself, I wished so badly that someone in my family was there to laugh and cry with me. Anyway, I am totally rambling...thanks for listening. I really was blessed with the most awesome family in the world! I am definitely going to try and make it that great for Mae too!
