Getting started

I love being a mom. I love being a wife. I love the family we have created, and I consider myself incredibly lucky that we have each other. Starting a blog to express that, seems like something I should have done long ago. I hope you enjoy our adventures, because I already love them all. The Husby and I met at the ripe old age of 13. We were in middle school in El Paso, Texas and at 18, we were officially “dating” and both moving to Southern California in the summer of 1997 for college. After some interesting college years, and even more interesting after-college years, we settled down in South Orange County, California and by New Years Eve of 2007, we were engaged in San Francisco. We were married April 30, 2008, and in December of 2008, we found out we were going to be parents. On August 18th 2009, we welcomed the most amazing little boy into this world, and our lives changed forever. Our Wild West was born. Now, a little over 2 years later, and I had no idea at that moment, how much I’d love this amazing little boy. It’s an all consuming love, that I can only describe as life-changing. I look at him everyday, and I can’t believe I get to take care of him, and I get to hang out with him, and help mold the person he will be. I’m lucky. Incredibly, grateful and lucky. I love you West. You are my everything, and always will be.
