Second Entry

10/21/2010

Well, this is my second entry today and all together on here, lol. I haven't written two entries in one day in a very long time. Let me tell you all a little more about my wonderful family.

Shawn-My husband, he's 36, Libra, loves to talk and clean, lol. He's 5'8", blond hair, blue eyes, glasses, sweet, funny, and crazy, hehe. We've had a lot of hard times, the first 5 years of our marriage was difficult and nearly ended back in 2008. In early 2009, he tried to kill himself {with alcohol} and nearly succeeded. With that, he agreed to get help and I agreed to be the wife I hadn't been. Since then, things have been really good. We still have stupid spats over meaningless things but divorce isn't an option for us. He goes to meetings twice a week and attends church every week.

Gabriel-My son, he's 5 years old, Leo, loves to talk, run, jump, and get dirty. He looks a lot like Shawn, he has blond hair, blue eyes, but he also has long, thick eyelashes he gets from me. He's your average boy. He makes me proud everyday. He's very smart. He learned to walk officially at 10 months old but took his FIRST steps at 8 months. I think he just waited till he had enough balance to run... he hasn't stopped yet, hehe. Gabe started Kindergarten in September and loves it, he loves to learn, laugh, and get positive attention.

Elizabeth-My daughter, she's 3 years old, Cancer, she's a drama queen but she's a protector. She has light brown hair with dark blond highlights {natural! I'm jealous, lol}, big green/blue eyes, and long dark eyelashes. She too, is very smart. She loves to color in coloring books, paper, toys, walls... Well, lol... you get it. She's a tough girl though, she doesn't let herself get bullied and she's only three. As her mother, I fear she's going to get into a lot of fights. As a woman who's been abused, I pray like CRAZY she keeps that attitude as she gets older.

Riley-My second daughter, I'm 22 in a half weeks pregnant with her... I feel very blessed to be having a third child. I feel the same of the first two also. I know that she will be well cared for and very loved. Even though she is our third baby, we are just as excited and scared as the first two, lol. I look forward to meeting her in 19 or so weeks.

I'm not really sure what else to write here tonight. But thank you all for the warm welcome... I find myself really liking it on this site.
