Flashback Friday-Happy 5 Months

Emery 5 days old

March 15, 2012

My little man is officially 5 months old. I cannot believe it. I feel like this time is flying by so fast. Evangelina didn't grow this fast, did she? I feel like he changes every moment. Its insane. 5 months of pregnancy is definitely much longer than 5 months of his life. I truly believe that this little man can't wait to grow! Impatient little boy! He was impatient from the get go, but he truly is amazing. Yes, I am biased, but if you meet him you would think so to. He always has a smile on his face from first thing in the morning until bed time. He sleeps through the night (since his 2nd month.) He is cuddly and sweet. He makes some of the most awesome faces! And he is so laid back.

Happy 5 Months, Emery!

I love you!

Flashback Friday- Crazy Cuz.

December 2007

5 weeks pregnant with Evangelina.

In a van in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

"You are the only gringa in a van full of beaners."  -Tio Carlos

Also, I was the only girl in a van full of boys. 

I miss those boys. I miss those times.

I cannot wait to see all their crazy faces again.

Flashback Friday-Victory Rolls

Me with Victory Rolls in 2009

I am a huge fan the retro pinup style. I absolutely love the soft curls, victory rolls and the make-up. The style was so much fun and so different for the area I live in. I really miss wearing my hair like this. I am beginning to think that it is time that I start wearing the rolls again. Maybe I will play around with my hair this weekend.

Is there any styles that you used to wear that you miss?

Flashback Friday

via September/October 2006

(Please note: We were a bunch of goof balls in these photos. And in the bottom one we were extremely bored one rainy day and decided to get dolled up and take pictures-in tube tops. We were weirdo's. haha)

Oh my word, how I miss this girl! Meet my gorgeous friend Stacey. My roommate for about 2 months while I was at Victory Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was such a breath of fresh air. We had so many good times in such a short while and when I left Tulsa it broke my heart because I had found such a great friend. I miss friends like that.

One of my favorite memories with Stacey was when we got all dolled up and went to go see the movie John Tucker Must Die with our friend Alan. After the movie we were all craving chocolate so we bought a chocolate cake and a jug of milk. We went to a park beside our apartments and shared the cake. It was so spontaneous and delicious. I am so happy that I got to know such a wonderful person and got to share this amazing memory with her.

What's your memory for Flashback Friday?

Flashback Friday

Easter 2007

Oh my word, look how young we looked then! Especially, the hubsy. 

That was only a few weeks after we met for the first time and we were madly in love.

I can still remember the day we met, it truly feels like yesterday.

(cue flashback music  and wave)

Picture me, driving nervously to the bus station.

 My stomach feeling flip floppy with butterflies.My hands shaking with anticipation. 

Driving from the mall, where i make my living being a skin care specialist, to the bus station feels like eternity.

And of course, why would people pick today to be better drivers, so of course I'm my knuckles are white from clutching the steering wheel so tightly.

So many thoughts running through my mind. 

"He's here!"

"I hope he's not some psychopath."

"I can't believe he traveled on a bus for 4 days just to meet me and spend 2 weeks with me."

I finally reach my destination and park around the building so that I can cool my nerves a bit in the chill of the February air.

I turn the corner and that's when I see him.

His back is turned to me, but i know it is him. He is wearing a Set Your Goals hoodie and shivering in the cold.

"Beto?" I ask tentatively.

He turns around and smiles. 

In that second, I fell deeply in love with him.

(Back to present)

Thinking about that moment still makes my heart flutter. 

Its amazing how love finds us. 

Love found my husband and I thousands and thousands apart.

And love brought us together. 

I never imagined having a man that would leave everything that he knows to be with me.

He came to only to visit, but he ended up never leaving.

Do you have any memories that make your heart flutter?
