So here we are… 1st blog ever. Exciting, I know :)
Too much to share without getting a little long winded, but I promise from here on out I will show improvement. February was a huge month for Michael & me. I was blessed with an amazing proposal & wedding on the same day. February 13th, we were married by our Pastor in an impromptu ceremony. We had been planning on getting married next summer, but after some guidance counseling from Bro. Love at our church we decided to make it official… his words, “if you know it’s right, why not make it right, right now”…and so we did.
There’s a lot to be excited for with this new chapter of our life together. I am currently 26 weeks pregnant & little Marlon has been moving & a grooving. My belly is becoming noticeably BIG. I still have a long ways to go so I can only imagine how much BIGGER it will get. I’m already planning though, six weeks after delivery Spectrum Gym will become my newly acquainted long lost BESTEST friend… holler at your girl if you need a gym buddy. Yes.
We’ve been road warriors these past few weeks. We went to Temple to see Michael’s dad compete in the 35 & over state basketball tournament. While we were there, we also met up with Michael’s oldest sister Amber & her four kids! Michael hadn’t seen her in 5 years, so it was definitely great getting together, not to mention all of fun times Michael had shooting dice & cutting up with the players from his dad’s team. The following weekend was the state tournament in Brownsville. Michael’s team was severely lacking players, but the fabulous 5 they had (including his 50 year old father who had a triple double) played with everything they had. Unfortunately it was refereed by a Borat lookalike that never needs to wear stripes & a whistle again in life unless he’s attending a Halloween party. This past weekend was the 6’ & under state tournament in Hurst, which was great basketball & unfortunately he lost in the Championship game. Overall the tournaments were fun little get away trips & Michael received All Tournament honors for both his tournaments. Yay! Go Daddy Go! ß Shawn’s cheer for his daddy
Other than that we’ve just been enjoying each other’s company, getting active in our church, & preparing for the baby’s arrival. Spring Break is upon us now & this week is all about R&R & QT. We have Shawn for the entire Spring Break & we are so glad to have him here. Michael started a new position managing the Pizza Hut call center, so SP & I will be sleeping in & napping & playing & eating…lol. Perfect, right?
My baby shower is just around the corner, so hopefully I’ll be posting again after such an exciting event!
XOXO from ours to yours,
Mel
