How It All Began

Many, many moons ago, I used to check out this site, www.hotornot.com.  Yup.  Lame, right?  Well, I was single so it was completely acceptable.  I traded emails with many a fella...mostly harmless chit chat and flirting.

Fast forward a few months and I was at my best friend's house, hanging out.  My phone rang and a number I didn't recognize popped up on the screen.  I walked outside to answer the phone.  On the other end was a rather intoxicated Skylor, ranting and raving about his ex.  After a brief conversation, in which he drunkenly rambled and I repeated "uh huh" and "really?" I convinced him to call me later when he was sober.  A couple of days later, the sober phone call happened.  "Come hang out!"

Hanging out


Fast forward a few weeks later...I was making the first of many long drives to Savannah.  Hanging out on the weekends, bingo on Tuesdays, a trip to DC and Philly...

Awww...we look so young!

Fast forward a few months later...we were moving in together.  What the hell were we thinking?!  Oh right, we were in "love."  Yeah...we're so lucky both of us came out of that alive.  It wasn't always sunshine and rainbows, I tell ya what!  I can't remember how many times I hucked his stuff out the door.  LOL

Our first Christmas tree!

Fast forward a year and a half (give or take a few months)...we were engaged.  Nothing super romantic, but that's not his style.  He's pretty much straight to the point and that's pretty much how it went down.  Although, if you really need a story, we can go with he wrote "Wanna get married?" on our bedroom mirror and I replied with, "To who?"

Yeah, that's pretty much how he always looks at me.

Hee hee


Fast forward almost a year later...we're expecting.  After months of "not trying, not preventing," we bought an OPK, or as I told my dad, "They're not the 'Did we make a baby?' sticks.  They're 'Can we make a baby?' sticks!"  That's all it took!


The plus sign means "one more!!"


My parents were over the moon with the news!

Fast forward a couple of weeks...we're married!  What a crazy day that was!  Poor Sky wound up at Urgent Care the morning of our wedding!  My mother threatened to call off the wedding if he didn't go.  Turns out he had a possible kidney infection.  He was loaded up on pain meds and antibiotics!  I'm just lucky he didn't pass out in the 98 degree heat of early April!  I swear it was the hottest day of the month!  And to think I had picked April because it "wasn't that hot yet."  Oops!

He was supposed to dip me!  LOL


Fast forward 8 months...we went from a couple, to a family.  And our blog starts with the story of that miraculous day!
