How Did This Happen

Do you ever look at your life and just ask yourself, "How did I get here? How did this happen?" Luckily, at least for me, I'm thrilled with my life thus far. If you've known me for more than 10 years you know I've had my share of asking, "What the hell did I do in my past life to deserve this?" Lately though, life is good.

I'm watching Gibbie run around the living room singing her version of "Hakuna Matata" which isn't exactly what Timon and Pumba were singing but it's awesome. I can't help but wonder why I got so lucky. This beautiful little three year old in my house. Where did she come from? I don't need a biology lesson. I remember the condom isle at Target decision to have a kid instead of buying another box. I remember calling The Hubs at work to tell him I was pregnant because I was high on happy and couldn't wait for him to come home. I remember the record high heat that summer and the 29 hours of labor including three hours of pushing before the docs said I had to have a c-section because this kid was not coming. Oh wait, I'm focusing on positive here, forget that last part (because I can't).

I remember those first few days of staying with my in-laws who I love but don't want to live with and ending up back in the hospital with postpartum hypertension and not appreciating those first few wonderful weeks. Somehow though, that tiny little creature turned into the little girl begging to play hide and seek.

I do stop and think about her never meeting my parents and that makes me sad. The values that they put into me are now being put into Gibbie and that makes me incredibly happy.

Weekend Review

It wasn't a very exciting weekend but it was fun just being with each other. The Hubs was a bit sick and stressed so it was a mixture of laying around and going out to eat with a Target trip and Lowe's trip mixed in.

I'm a total ditz and showed up to my church super early for the Sunday school teacher meeting but it as pretty nice just sitting under the pagoda looking at this view.

After the meeting I came home. Once I got Gibbie down The Hubs and I decided we wanted Wienerschnitzel. Being the loving mom I am I decided to get Gibbie a kid's meal for later. They were out of toys. This was the replacement. It would have melted so I ate it. Nope, not feeling guilty.

We played a lot in her messy play room. How did she get so tall!?

She's got more style than me, you, and your mama put together.

At Lowe's picking up a few things. This was actually the very first time she felt the joy of hanging on the front of the cart.

These two are my life.

They are the goofiest ever.

It's blurry but just look at the joy on her face.

Before church she was playing some games. We've created a monster by the way. She throws the hugest fits over that thing so we're seriously limiting it now.

After church they are playing church with Smurfs as the pastor and people! HA!

We ended our weekend at Rudy's.

She might look just like her papa but she acts just like her mama.

What did you do this weekend?
