A Blog for Beginners

This is an attempt at some therapy for myself...you know, talk it out, get through it. Brag about it, because she is awesome, rant about it because people are crazy. Well, we will see how it works. If there is any interest anyway.

So...how do you even begin? The whole, describe your blog thing ended up staying blank. I didn't know how to describe what I may or may not write here. So I guess this will be my description/introduction.

My name is Misty, Im the mama. I married my high school sweet heart Chris in 2005, and we have been very happily married ever since. Not the love/hate type of marriage, but your genuine, I married my best friend and occasionally he drives me crazy type of marriage.




In 2008, we welcomed our beautiful daughter Lexsey into this world.



She has without a doubt become the center of our existence, she is simply amazing. Little curls, lots of laughter, and an imagination that will knock your socks off. All of that packaged with sweet little hands, a cuddly personality...and I could go on and on. Can you tell I adore her?





While pregnant with Lexsey, I made some career adjustments, switching from a nice cardiac unit as a new grad nurse to a bustling emergency room. The adjustment sure has made some changes in who I am, my outlook on the world. Sometimes a good change, other times, just a bit more jaded. Well, not a bit, a LOT more jaded. Im sure more will come of that later. Well...Im positive more will come of that later.

This year, we decided it was time for our family to grow. In May, we were thrilled to find out that our family was going to grow.



Our immediate love of this unknown little peanut was huge. We immediately began to plan for this child, Lexsey began to love her new little brother or sister, talk to my stomach which immediately popped out into a nice round pregnant belly. Well, to be honest, there still was definitely some popping left from HER two years ago.



But, our dreams were shattered at the end of May, when a miscarriage took my happy little pregnant bubble and popped it. An emergency surgery, a post op pneumonia, and then a post op little pop up and bite you in the ass infection - THANKS for the good sterile technique and the grieving process has been tremendous. Yes, the last month has been really freaking hard. But...the three of us, we will get through it.

So that is us in a nutshell. A little tiny nutshell.
