Today’s prompt at Project Blog is Loved and lost, or never loved at all? Which might you prefer?
In my humble opinion, I think it is much better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. I have had my fair share of relationships and heartbreaks and even through the God-awful times, I have never regretted opening my heart up and loving someone. There is no way to explain how love feels because it is such an amazing feeling that there aren’t words that I can fully describe it. My husband has opened my life up to a whole new world. His love had made me realize that love is completely worth the risk. I can’t imagine my life without love because it’d be a life full of gray skies. To me, love is the splash of color in your life that makes things interesting and beautiful all at the same time. Maybe that doesn’t make sense to others, but it does to me.
The point is, I think living in a world without love wouldn’t be something I’d ever want to experience. I like knowing there is someone who loves me and feels the same way for me as I do for him. I don’t ever want to live without love.
It seems very surreal that I have officially been married for a month and two days. I mean seriously, time really flies, ya know? It feels like just yesterday I was trying to fight off a killer bat and then got all teary-eyed as my mom got ready to walk me down the aisle. I seriously did have to deal with a bat on my wedding day. It seems as if one had taken up resident in the choir room at our church and all of a sudden it just fell off the top of the ceiling fan and died. It was a pretty funny moment and maybe I should have taken that as an omen but I pushed through that day none the less. I’m sorry but no little crustified bat was going to get in my way of showing everyone my marvelous dress that I paid out of my own pocket for. My dress was amazing and fit so well. For once in my life I actually looked like I had an hourglass shape and it extenuated my curves without me looking all dumpy. It was our day and I am so glad everything went so well. Our day was beautiful and heart-felt and I could not ask for a better husband. Jonathan and I have our moments but I am thankful that I got to marry my best friend.
Another big change to my life aside from being married is being a mommy! Jonathan has a ten month old son named Grayson. Grayson is the apple of my eye. I love that baby so much. I never thought something could take my breath away at first meeting but he did. His blue eyes and chunky little smile instantly melted my heart. Let’s also throw in the fact that he is the happiest baby and you definitely have a wonderbaby. Evidently his mother has been getting tired of him since she told us that she has had him for nine months so it was our turn now. That’s fine with me; bring him on over. I have no problem taking care of him. It kind of alarmed me at first that when she leaves he doesn’t even whine and whimper. All of my cousins have whined when their moms have left them somewhere but not Grayson, but if I walk out of a room away from him, he cries. Two weekends ago she sent him to our house with a double ear infection. I didn’t really understand that since it was only his third weekend and I guess I’m weird about sending kids off when they are sick. I assumed she would be apprehensive about sending her child away for the weekend so sick but she had other plans to go to some mud bog so to our house Grayson came. He was so sick and was a little on the cranky side. I ended up rocking him off and on all night both Friday and Saturday night. Saturday night he laid in my arms and was rubbing my cheek saying “Mamamamamamama” and then would snuggle close to me. He is so precious. Just so I don’t come off as completely biased, I will post some pics below so you can see that he truly is an adorable little wonderbaby.
Since I have been participating in Project: Blog, it has renewed my passion for blogging. I find myself in the most mundane situations thinking of what I can blog about later that day. Earlier on the way to take the hubby by DFCS to pay for the paternity test and what not, I found myself sitting in the car thinking of blog topics as I took in all of my surroundings. I’ve missing blogging and I have a very long list of things I’d like to add around here. So hopefully I can get that all going soon. I am just praying that when I start school this coming Monday it doesn’t take a toll on my blogging. I know I can make an effort to sit out at least ten minutes of my day to write a short blog post. I’m definitely looking forward to it. And with that, I will leave you all with the pics.
