Connecting the Dots

My momma's birthday was yesterday, February 10th, and I truly wish I could have been there to celebrate it with her and tell her in person how much I love and appreciate her.  Truly, I do not know where I would be without the consistent support from my mother.  Although I haven't lived in California for 5 years nowI have always spoke with my mother and she always gives a listening ear and advice when needed.  And she always keeps the conversations lively and funny!  So I cant wait to move closer to home at the end of this summer.  Not only to be closer to family but to see my baby brother play football at San Jose State University.  I miss him dearly and am so pumped to see him debut in his college football career.  And the closer I am, the easier it will be to see him play and have Amaya grow up with her other cousins.  Our family has grown and my older brother, Kellen, has 3 beautiful kids that I miss and who I want to see grow up.  But another person that means a lot to me, that is an understatement by the way, is my dad.  My dad is amazing and gets me like no other.  I miss him and our conversations and just chillin at the house with him.  After speaking with him today he let me know how proud he is of me and that I finally "Connected the Dots".  After high school I had absolutely no idea what the heck I was going to do.  I was too busy living in the moment and such a black-and-white thinker that I was "lost" in a way.  I joined the Navy, met the love of my life, gave birth to the other love of my life and am constantly doing things I never thought I would do and maturing everyday.  I just couldn't be more blessed to have a family that cares about me unconditionally and be a mother to the most beautiful and funniest little girl and be getting married in the near future (hopeful wedding date of July 12, 2013).
