Only Prettier;

"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

this is my little princess. she is my everything plus more.
my life changed forever on august 14th, 2009. i couldn't believe it so i went to the doctor on september 1 and confirmed that sure enough, i was going to be a mommy. while i was pregnant, i didn't have many complications. to be honest it was a perfect pregnancy. on october 10, 2009 the doctors said that i had a miscarriage of what would've been maci's twin .. but everything was okay, so i went on :) on november 24, 2009 around 3:30 p.m i found out i was having a little girl. i'll never forget being at work that day- it had been raining. it was a gloomy day that's forsure. which no one at work knew i was pregnant, so i had to keep quite. but i remember a lady, her 4 year old, and a little baby in a carrier about to walk out the front door .. she had paused so she could cover the little one up .. it was all pink, so i assume it was a girl- ha. normally i'd walk over and talk to them, but for some reason that day i just stood there. i knew i was getting to find out the gender that day, so i was a little anxious. as that family walked out the doors, i glanced outside and simply said "lord, if it's a girl let it shine, if it's a boy let it rain." that was around noon time. within a few hours it had started to shine. i was like my my my, this can't be real. but sure enough i got to the doctors office and later on found out i was having a little girl. gah, i was kind of excited. that day was when it really started to kick in. i went back to work that day and still didn't say a word to anyone, i know it's crazy. my coworkers found out about me being pregnant around january. as the months started to fly by, i started trying to enjoy it because i was starting to realize that before i knew it, i was going to be a mom. i eventually got really impatient to meet the little one. on april 12th, 2010 at 12:50a.m. i went and told my friend that i thought i needed to go to the hospital..she kept trying to rush me but i kept telling her that i was going to take my time. we got on the interstate headed towards cookeville around 1:15 that morning- right as we hit mile marker 295, my water broke in her car. so we finally made it to the emergency room and they took me back to check me and sure enough, my water had broke. i was like goodness, i'm going to be here a good 12 hours. the nurse comes back in and asked how long i'd been dilated and i was like do what? she said how long have you been dilated and i said none i don't guess, she laughed and said hunny, you're a good 4 or 5. i was like whaaat the heck! she said yeah, we gotta get you epidural ready. we all started just laughing. as the nurse kept coming to check on me, she'd keep saying "hunny, you're a centimeter closer". that made my day. as soon as my epidural kicked in i said, "shew i feel like e-diddy." i was all smiles. i still had yet to go to sleep, i turned the tv on and made myself at home. i watched cmt music videos all morning, justa singin along. they came back in around 7:35 that morning and said well we need to get ready to push, so as all that starts .. the nurse stopped me and said hold on, we got to wait on the doctor. i said what's wrong? the nurse said nothing, we're just going to have a baby in less than 30 minutes if that. i was like what? i'm going to be a mom in less than 30 minutes, she said yes hun. i said hold on, i'm not ready.. she looked at me and laughed and said we'll i think it's a little bit late for that one.. everyone in the room was laughing. so as a few minutes had passed they said we're going to have a baby by the next push, i stopped and said my baby isn't being born to no taylor swift song. they said well she's got to get out, i said well she can wait, i don't like taylor swift. the song changed to "the house that built me" by miranda lambert & that's what my daughter was born to. as they laid her on my stomach "gimme that girl" by joe nichols was playing. and "smile" by uncle kracker played as i held her and i sang it to her. to this day she absolutely loves music. maci was born at 7:57 a.m. on monday, april 12th, 2010. she weighted in at 7 lbs 5.2 oz & 20 inches long. my life has been perfect ever since. she was born with a tooth, i know it sounds crazy .. but it's true. she was crawling great at 4 months old. and now at 8 months, she'll hold your hand and walk. she's the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. i thank the lord everyday for her.


i'm sure this was probably too much for some people to read, but this is such an amazing story. this is priceless and means the world to me.
