Perfect L O V E

  Frequently I get messages and comments about how perfect Alex and I are. So sweet!! I really am so thankful to have him as my husband and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I prayed long and hard asking God for my soulmate to come into my life early on. Alex and I have been together for 5 years and we learn things about each-other daily. I believe all honeymoon phases end in all relationships. I also wouldn't ever play it off that we are perfect because is there NO  such thing, nope not real. We love eachother so much that the struggles don't hurt us but build us. I love that Alex sometimes hurts my feelings but jumps at an opportunity to show he loves me. I love that I push Alex's buttons and he gets frustrated so  I push myself to give him time to relax. I love that we sometimes just DONT talk. I REALLY LOVE that when we get on each others nerves Alex never raises his voice.  Alex has never called me a degrading name even things small like your a jerk, your annoying, stupid. I can be crying in my car because I'm just pissed off at the world and he will sit in the passenger seat and start messing with me. I sometimes have to hide and be angry because I know when we are in the same room I can't be mad anymore! We fight, we get annoyed, we sometimes just have to get away from eachother.  The best part about Alex and I we love eacother so much that we couldn't not see eacother on our wedding day. We sat together while I got breakfast for a few minutes :).  When I visit family in Indiana Alex can't sleep in our bed because he can't fall asleep...so he sleeps on the couch. When Alex is at work I miss him and have to force myself not to call him just to see what he is doing now... When we do get annoyed with eacother we end up talking a few hours later about it realizing..hey we both aren't morning people and he doesn't love family pictures. (sorry buddy thats never changing haha). He is defff  the calm one in this marriage. When I see life crumbling on us he sees it as opening up a new opportunity. I love that God gave me someone level headed and open minded because I'm stubborn and hard headed. Our relationship isn't actually perfect we just love each other so much that we're happy with struggles.  We both receive and give love in two completely different ways so its not always perfect we struggle, we forget to give love the way the other needs, we get busy. BUT I'm thankful we can struggle together.

Target obsession

As some of you may know I just recently moved from the middle of nowhere to a more built up area that has TWO TARGETS within minutes from me. So thats painful.. My obsession has worn off on Mykelti so we both LOVE going shopping together. Mykelti's problem obviously is a little more dangerous because most of the time we end in tears and on the floor of the toy aisle. I guess my inner self feels that way too when I can't buy every item from Chip and Joanna's new line I just don't lay on the floor. So instead I take screenshots of every item I want and save them on phone for future reference as if I'll forget how badly I want them. As a mom I try not to be so tense with Mykelti because life is too short. Instead we spend that time running in target and screaming I WANT THAT. (we actually do that). I'm trying to take advantage of the time my kid actually thinks I'm a decent human for when she hates me as a teenager. Feel free to look at some pictures of us from Target <3

yes we really do run in the store #badmom

POSTIVE

I get asked this soooo often!!

The day I found out I was pregnant I was only two days late for my period. I was having a sleep over with my close friend, and I had this ridiculous dream that I was visiting my cousins in Indiana and had the flu. In my dream world the only way to test for the flu was to pee on this stick and it told me if I did indeed have the flu or not.. so anyway I'm scared to see if I really did have the flu and my cousin actually happened to have a test in her bag that had already been opened so she told me I could try it out and see!! So anyway I woke up and told my friend about the dream,  thats when I wondered  "holy crap am I actually pregnant? Is this actually happening???" Then it freaked me out when my friend pulled a test out of her bag THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN OPENED. Freaky right.. anywhom morning pee is the best right? So I take the test and very faintly it was positive so I was thinking okay maybe its an evaporation line (googling this of course ha) I drank 3 gigantic waters  to get some more pee flowing haha. Took a more accurate digital test at another friends house.. sureeee enough POSITIVE.

Telling Alex wasn't super special I mean I was 17.  I called him on the phone and just told him I'm definitely pregnant. All he really got to say was, " it'll be okay we will get it all figured out."

Fast forward 20 weeks, I moved in with Alex, we found out we were having a girl, and I crushed my senior year with a 4.0.

About ME

Welcome everyone! Thanks for checking out my blog I'm so excited for so long I wanted to start a blog I just never felt capable. So lets start from the basics! Im Therese my biggest passion is being a mom and wife. Cliche I know, but I've always dreamt of the day I could start my own family. Now I started a tad sooner then most... I got pregnant with my daughter Mykelti when I was 17 had her at 18. I truly wouldn't change that for the world nothing could bring me that happiest my husband and daughter bring me. Alex, my wonderful hardworking husband, and I met when I was about to be 16 I knew he was going to be the one I married. Everything about Alex from the start was perfect. THEN WE HAD A BABY haha. So YES thats me just another Allen <3
