Maureen suggested that I create a blog before the baby comes so that I can upload pics and keep everyone updated. It sounded like a good idea but it's not as easy as I thought. Compared to Mo and Nic, my blog looks like it was created by a 4 year old. We'll see how long this lasts.
With bubby's arrival just around the corner, I can't help but reflect on how this all came to be. Here are some of the most poignant memories from our 5 and a half years together...
Brad and I met on October 1, 2004 at Gus O'Connors Pub in Novi. I saw this guy sitting alone and since I had been abandoned by my friend I decided to go sit strike up a conversation. As I was asking if the seat was taken, Brad strolls up and asks if I am trying to steal his seat. I got flustered and tried to abandon ship. But before I could he grabs another stool and invites me to join them. I was mesmerized by his perfect smile and we ended up talking for the rest of the night...
Two years later Brad proposes to me while on walk around the trails at our apartment. Well actually, when we returned from a romantic walk, after I had just changed into my pjs, even though it was 5 in the evening. After he proposed, all I could say was "I am in my pajamas" and then I said yes!...
Our wedding day was perfect. The weather was beautiful, the day went off without a hitch and my future husband was the most handsome man ever! I remember the door bell ringing first thing in the morning and it was Randy, sent by Brad to see how I was doing. I'm not sure if he was nervous that I would chicken out, but it was such a sweet gesture!
And here we are now, 2 weeks away from meeting our "mini us" and I can't wait! I thank God every day that we met...
So, my first comment didn't post...Let's try it again... Yeah, I'm so excited that you started a blog. I can't wait to be able to see mystery gender Gerwatowski soon on this blog. You did a fabulous job with the blog, Laura, and a four year-old would not have been able to do what you did! I love the way you started the blog, at the beginning, the way you met. Take it easy, get some rest, and continue to blog! Yeah again for the blog!
ReplyDeleteLaura, I am glad that Maureen talked you into starting this blog. Everyone will be excited to be updated with your pictures and commentaries. I know that I am! I agree with Maureen that you did a great intro for your blog. We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our latest addition to the family. Grandchild number 6! We are so blessed!
