Welcome

Eric & I were married on January 15, 2010. And then again on April 10, 2010. If you know the military, there's no need to explain :) We had a small, perfect wedding in Myrtle Beach.
The Marine Corps moved us to Houston, TX for recruiting duty and we had our first baby, Brady in June, 2011. And our second son, Levi in December, 2013. We wrapped up in Houston, and have recently moved back to North Carolina. This blog is to share with our family and friends, and for me to look back on when I want to revisit the memories.

Take these plans and shove it!

Eric and I had been planning Brady's Halloween costume for weeks. We got practically giddy whenever we discussed how excited Brady would be to have people putting candy in his bucket. He absolutely LOVES putting things in a bucket/bag/box, taking them out, back in, back out.. And certainly loves when anyone joins him in this activity.

Yesterday, I spent the entire morning running around the house getting everything ready. Eric's parents were coming over to join us and also to celebrate Eric's birthday since it's the day after. We even had a playdate scheduled for today, so I had lots to do.

All the excitement was quickly replaced with saddness when my baby boy woke up from his nap with a fever :( He picked at his lunch earlier, but that's not completely unlike Brady. When he went down for his second nap, highly unlike Brady, I started to worry, but brushed it off. I tried to feed him dinner... then the vomit came.

Needless to say, we did not get dressed up. We did not trick or treat. And we did not celebrate Eric's birthday. I did cry twice.

It's hard to have such high hopes for a wonderful night/next day, then have to cancel everything AND see your baby sick. Brady woke up all night with tummy aches. It was pitiful.

Eric and I felt sorry for ourselves for a minute, then tried our best to make the most of our evening. Brady fell asleep, we drank wine, and watched Modern Family. Which always makes us laugh.

There are clearly people going through a harder time than this. Especially with Hurricane Sandy destroying the East Coast. When things like this happen, I always think of the quote, “When we make plans, God laughs” :) We're already looking forward to next year! Just not making any plans yet.

We'll be sure to share pictures of our little Texans player all geared up once he's feeling better :)
