You're still the one!

Okay, so it is probably my pregnancy hormones going crazy, but here lately I can not get it off my mind that in just a few (short) months, our lives will no longer be the same. No longer will we be able to do what we want, when we want, how we want. No longer will we be able to just "up and go" as we please. No longer will it just be the 2 (well really 5 if you count the fur-babies, which we do) of us. No longer will we be able to leave the house with just 3 things- my purse, his wallet, and the keys. The thought of it no longer being JUST Jon and I is SUPER scary to me. We have been together for over 9 wonderful years, and I am shaken at the thought of that no longer being the case. I know that we will grow as a family and our love for each other will blossom into something greater, but this whole (new) concept has been weighing heavy on my (heart) mind here lately.

***Funny story (that I am feeling compelled to share and if J knew I was, he would put an end to me): Last night as we were laying bed, something of the above mentioned came up, so I decided to tell Jon my thoughts on this, etc. Would you like to know his response...."It didn't change when we got Max. It didn't change when we got LeRoy." :D BLESS HIM. LOL. He was so serious and it was all I could do not to roll off the bed laughing at this statement. I KNOW that raising animals verses a baby is on two TOTALLY opposite ends of the spectrum... I am guessing that he does not realize this. However, the more I thought about it, the more I got to thinking that..YES even though our lives are about to change tremendously, I WE are going to do the best we can to make sure that it remains the same...if that makes any sense (or is even possible). We are excited and looking forward to this new journey- as a party of 6 :)

I also decided to partake in the "Photo A Day" pictures. I have been seeing people do this (mainly on Instagram) for the past few months, but never participated. I am happy to say that I have done each day as it states. (If you are unfamiliar with this, you take a photo (according to the "rules") each day and post it).

Fancy that today is "Something Old" and that I have been having these (hormonal) emotions. I chose to post our very FIRST picture together. I remember it as if it was yesterday...We all went to Red Lobster (my favorite place to eat) to celebrate my 15th (YES, you heard right) Birthday (Jon only 16 himself). My mom, sister, step-dad, and step-brother all joined us and we had a lovely time. So glad my mom snapped this picture of us, because it is still one of my most favorite pictures of us and I love to look back to this point in our lives.

9 years later...he is still the one

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

*You're still the one*
You're still the one I run to
The on that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
*You're still the one*
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'
They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holdin' on
We're still together still goin' strong

*You're still the one*
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
*You're still the one*
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

*You're still the one*
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
*You're still the one*
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

Okay.. so that is it all for now. My pregnancy hormones and I are done being all sappy...until next time! XOXO
