flashback friday: oh baby

i am seriously jonesin' for a baby. for reals. so, to hold me over until i get that positive test, i've been looking at old pictures of ruby. oh good grief, she was an adorable newborn baby. when i look at these pictures, i remember the long nights and painful nursing sessions, worry over not doing anything right, and evenings full of tears (her's and mine). it's good that the infant stage is just that - a stage to enjoy and then pass through. i'm ready to enjoy (and endure) it again. hopefully in the next few months we will be able to share news of a new baby coming. but for now, we will flashback to brand-new ruby days. oh, they were sweet & snuggly.

flashback friday: everybody loves a wedding!

lately, i've been lucky enough to have the time and energy and fun stuff to blog about so i've got loads of memories that i want to document here. but, i also love the idea of "flashback fridays" so that's what's on deck for today.

and it's a fun one! our wedding. it was a perfect day. sunny, light breeze, 75 degrees. i couldn't have dreamed for a more perfect day. and, appropriately enough, it was on a friday instead of the usual saturday. which is a very good thing because the day after our wedding, it started to rain. and it rained pretty much all day, every day, for the next 8 days. not that it bothered us too much since we were on our honeymoon in sedona. :) but that's another post. for today, here's a stroll down memory lane, to the day of our wedding.

married!

one of my favorites.

perfection.

flashback friday



this picture was taken almost exactly a year ago. and without going into any innapropriate details, it was also almost exactly a year ago that i became pregnant with ruby.  i didn't know until a couple weeks later, of course.  not until well after this day - which included numerous beers as we celebrated a friend's upcoming wedding.   not until after T & i moved the first of our stuff into the one bedroom apartment we recently signed the lease on.  and not until after i interviewed for a supervisory position, telling my bosses that i was "at a point in my life where i can make my career a priority."  oh, the irony. 

i am getting together with many of these lovely ladies tomorrow evening. and this time at the end of the night, i'll be coming home to T and ruby.  so there won't be numerous beers drank tomorrow.  and T & i are currently completing a rental application for a two bedroom townhouse in a quieter neighborhood.  and my career?  well, i enjoy my job and i do it well. but my top priority now? that would be these two... 

 ...and i wouldn't want it any other way.
