So, our story starts December, 2010 on a winter night. I was talking to mutual friend of ours via Skype. We caught up on news and then she brought up this guy's name..Jim. She said he was an great guy and that he holds the same beliefs as I do. I could tell she was trying to play match maker..so I just played along for fun. Unfortunately I did not set a good impression the first time I met Jim. Everyone in the world wanted to call, text, or chat online. Jim tried hard to keep the conversation going but I would have to excuse the conversation to take a phone call or text. Looking back now I realized how patient he was with me. Fortunately after that night he wanted to continue to keep in touch with me so we would Skype, text, or chat on Facebook. A few weeks of texting constantly (no exaggeration), skyping, and talking over the phone, Jim decides our friendship is ready for a new chapter and asks me as romantically as he can to be his girlfriend. I could tell Jim was a great guy...
I visited with my Mom on Sunday at her assisted living home. I always enjoy chatting with her about her day and hearing stories from the past. My Mom gave me one of the best compliments that day by saying that I look like her Mom with my short hair style. I enjoy compliments, especially from my Mom about my Nonna! I am blessed to have a beautiful Mother and Grandmother (who is in Heaven now) who love God and have an inward beauty as well as an outward beauty. My Mom and I haven't always been close and we are still working on having a better relationship but I do know that she truly loves me, my family, and God. She can come across as mean to people who don't know her and opinionated and stubborn to people who do know her...but in her heart she wants nothing more than to be with Jesus and see the rest of her family be with her in Heaven.
I went for my first ultrasound when I was nine weeks along. I was so excited, I was counting down the days when I could see my baby for the first time. I wondered whether it would hurt me or the baby doing the ultrasound or if there REALLY was a baby inside of me. Jim actually saw our baby before me, I'm not bitter though ha, and I could tell by his smile that there was a baby inside me. When I saw Zalen for the first time I just kept smiling, it was so surreal. Zalen looked like a mix between a peanut and a tadpole, but the most adorable peanut I've ever seen! The Doctor gave us print outs from the ultrasound and as soon as I got home I scanned them, framed them and put them on the self to show off. I also made copies to mail to family members, as well as posting them on Facebook . I wanted Zalen to know he was part of our family and he was just so cute, I had to brag ha. Jim and I are truly blessed and it's amazing to see how far I have come and how much God care...
