I met Ryne (my husband) on January 10, 2005. We met at a bowling alley in NJ with the help of his cousin and my friend Bobby. It's funny to think about how Ryne and I met because in reality this wasn't our first time meeting. Since I had grown up being friends with his cousin, Ryne and I were at the same block parties, graduations and birthday parties and didn't realize it. This is probably because of our age difference. We dated for 2 years before getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2007 and then finally said our I Do's on April 18, 2009. Fast forward almost 2 years later and I gave birth to our first child. A beautiful baby girl, Emily Grace, on April 5, 2011. She was born via c-section due to "being stuck". She was literally stuck in the birth canal and wouldn't fit through my pelvis. So after 30 hours of labor we opted for the csection. And our gorgeous baby was born at exactly 5:30 p.m. and she looked just like her daddy!
This brings me to the reason for this blog. Some may ask why start a blog? Even better why start a blog now? Well I have several answers for that. My first being that I want a place to share my thoughts not so much for the outside world to view but more for my little girl Emily to read about sometime in the future. And my final reason is that I realized fairly recently that life goes by very quickly and we have to stop and take in the memories. So this is a place to share my memories so that I will remember them and can come back and read about the good times when I have a particularly bad day.
So hopefully I can fill this blog with many happy memories of my family and it will be something I can look back on and smile.
Happy 25th Birthday to my baby brother Kevin!
And here is a picture of Emily now:
This is a great idea, Chrissy. Stick to it, maybe have some guest posts from Daddy, and I know Emily will appreciate it when she's older :) Good luck ------ from Kristen G.
