.Who I am.

Who I Am...

I am...29 years old. and happy.

I wish...to travel the world.
I want...a baby.

I have...a wickedly funny husband. and a wonderful life.

I hate...onions!

I fear...jellyfish. like majorly.

I hear...silence. its a very quiet house now. 

I search...for creativity in all things.

I wonder...what my future children will look like {i hope they have husband's cute nose}

I regret...nothing because I am where life wants me to be.

I love...my husband. more than anything.

I ache...when I see an animal without a home.

I always...say what's on my mind. and it sometimes gets me into trouble.

I usually...read before bed every night. currently enjoying The Night Circus.

I am not...going to change who I am for anyone. i sort of like me.

I dance...with husband late late at night. usually after a couple of drinks....

I sing...but not well {you do not want to be in my car when 'Tornado 87' comes on}

I never...go to bed with makeup on. and you shouldn't either.

I sometimes...think red-ish brown hair would look nice on me.
I crave...gummy bears. and slurpees {aka. slushie's}.
I know...that life isn't always perfect, but it's pretty darn fun living it.

I cry...everytime I think of my grandpa norm. i miss him. a lot. {also of my bella}

I am not always...rational.

I lose...at tickle fights with my husband. seriously. it happens.

I am confused...by people who don't like animals {what don't you like about unconditional love?!}

I need...to stop listening to negative people. weed out the garden, so to say.

I should...never stop trying.

.my girl, a letter to you.

My Bella,

Yesterday I lost my best buddy. You. 

As I sit here this morning and cry, I keep thinking that you are going to pop your sweet little red head around the corner to give me some love. You really hated to see me cry. I keep thinking you are going to push your cold, wet nose into my hand for a head rub and a snuggle. You really loved mornings, it was when you were most cuddly. And we cuddled so many mornings. My sweet red haired ginger and I.

Well, it's morning. And you're not here....

You and I really were two peas in a pod. I think I spent the most time with you out of anyone. Taking walks, sharing food -  you really loved to eat my meal most, cuddling on our bed, watching chick-flicks when your poppa had to work late at night, allowing me to play photographer with you, listening to me vent when I was upset {I think people thought I was crazy talking to a dog, but I really think you 'got it'}, and of course your favorite - playing catch - actually, you liked your dad best for that one {which secretly made me so happy. You and he playing together. It was precious}. You really just knew how to hang out with me and I don't think I ever realized just how much your presence meant to me till now. 

I honestly don't think I've cried so much in my entire life. I haven't really felt loss before with the exception of my grandfathers, but I was still so young then, and this just feels different. You were my girl. My baby. We were together almost 24/7. My heart was not prepared for this. I feel empty, hollow, and raw. I miss you.

I do however, know that we made the right decision. You were in pain and suffering, and I just couldn't put you through that. I know you were holding on for our sakes, and that wasn't fair to make you feel like you needed to be the strong one. But that was what you always were, the strong one. The one that made our little family so much better than it was before. So much stronger. So much more love.

Bella, you will forever be in our hearts. I will never stop missing my sweet ginger pup. It will be in quiet moments, like when I am sitting on the couch that I will remember you looking up at me from the floor with your sweet chocolate eyes after you have rested your head on my leg, or when 4 pm comes around and it was your favorite - feeding time! Or when your dad and I argue over something silly, I will remember how just the presence of you would calm us down. And when those glorious mornings arrive and you just want some real love cuddles. I will always remember those moments. 

You, my bella girl, will always be a part of my sunny mornings. And I love you for that.

Be safe my girl. I love you.

xoMomma.

My Beautiful Girl.

Getting some love from your Poppa. xo

...and some love from momma.

Bella. xo. My sweet ginger girl.
