You gotta be wise

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry. You gotta be, You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

Ronald Reagan

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."

Every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you

Three years ago, I said "I do" to the most amazing, hard working, wonderful Man I know. Besides my Dad, of course. Isn't it "Honor Thy Father and Mother above all else" or something like that? Either way, I have two of the most wonderful Men in my life. Well, THree. My brother is a pretty darn wonderful, respectable Man, as well.

Vin's and mine start was pretty rocky, to say the least.

We broke up 5 times before we got engaged, and then, decided it would be the perfect time to have a baby (after we tried the first time I was ovulating, we decided, maybe it would be best to wait until AFTER I graduated.) Whoops. To late. It took the first time, (yes, Hi. My name is Fertile Myrtle). Now we have two beautiful girls.

My parents hated Vin (wouldn't be because My brother and I used to come home and talk crap about him. not at all.). Hey. I didn't know I would end up marrying this guy.

But, once they met him (after we got engaged and pregnant, I might add) They LOVED him (now, is where I say "I told you so"). Sometimes, I think they love him more :-/ (jealousy is a mean, green monster). lol.

All in all, he is the most wonderful Father to both our kids, and A wonderful (stubborn) Husband. He is far to good of a son, as well. He puts up with FAAARRRRR to much crap from a crappy 'father' than I would. But, what do I know? My parents both rock. They have been married for over 25 years (how many other people my age can say that their parents are still married?) and have instilled in me the most wonderful values, and taught me what a good marriage takes (more patience than I have, that's for sure). Vin got all his wonderful traits from his wonderful Mom (RIP) whom I miss like crazy.

Yes. He is stubborn. Has a short temper. and he has OCD when it comes to cleaning (something I DO NOT have). But, he is also Italian. lol. I am Greek, and possess the short temper and the stubbornness, as well. lol. Altho, I blame the short temper on the stress from nursing school (as well as the weight gain).

Well. I better get the girls ready for daycare.
