(no subject)
I've always been pretty bad at keeping journals just because I always wanted to "save" them for important things. Like I thought if I write things that aren't important enough in them, I'm just wasting the journal. Now I want to write everything down, because I know that I have terrible long term memory, but don't have the time to do that. Summary: I've been married for 4 years now. What a ride that has been. I don't know if its been a "normal" ride, or if its been extra 'loopy' because I have nothing to compare it to of course, and because no two couples are alike, but there hasn't been a dull moment. We've had our up and downs, everyone does. Things have been tough with the economy so crappy... not so much financially tough but just like, emotional toll tough. We're pushing through it though. We've had some great times and made some fantastic memories and still making more. The best thing we've done is had our beautiful wonderful amazing baby boy. He's so great. I could never explain how much I love him. I love everything about him. I love how he smiles first thing when he wakes up, and how he loves to laugh, how he tilts his head when he's trying to get your attention, how he hums himself to sleep, how he opens his mouth and moves towards me when he wants to eat something, or how he hands me something he knows he probably shouldn't be playing with. He loves everyone around him, he has so much love to give, and makes everyone around him so happy just at the sight of him and his beautiful smile. He's super attached to his Grandpa most of all, and he is just starting to walk. Today he let go of the couch and took a few steps all on his own. He usually has to be holding on to something or someone to walk. Today, he finally let go. He is turning 1 on the 16TH!! I can't believe that! A whole year already. It passed sooo fast. I always hear, "they grow up so quickly" but my goodness, it was like a blink-of-an-eye. He grew so fast mashallah, its still so fresh in my mind when I was just bringing him home from the hospital. But I promise not to start his wedding speech like that!! ;-) I'll probably tell my whole labor story, or at least as much of it as I can remember, in a post around his birthday. We're planning on doing the birthday at the same park we had his baby-shower at. Hope it fun and not too hot. I'm hoping to do a better job at keeping this journal up to date, especially now that I have something so important I want to always remember every detail about. My son :-) <3
