30 Days...

Well what better day to give a wedding update...Draft Day (we happen to be standing in front of the Browns Stadium), and the wedding is 30 days away!!! 

I have been gone for some time due to trying to get everything done (if you have been wondering where I have been)! We get married in 30 days and although the major stuff has been taken care of there are still odds and ends that need to be completed!  Every time I think I am making headway, there is something else that pops up and needs to be done! I had the chance this week to get the invitations out and hopefully we will be getting RSVP cards back in the mail soon! I still need to pick up a headpiece for myself, as well as a few other things. I was thinking of typing everything out but...I changed my mind! I have enough stress on me as it is! LOL! Darrick and I have our second pre-marital counseling appointment on Saturday, then we will be off to get the marriage license soon! I must admit although I am a bunch of emotions I am super excited about our next journey in life!

I Want it All...

So this is my second week back to work. I was standing in my coworkers office talking about family, and since I am the youngest in my department I usally get a lot of advice from the other ladies. Today I was showing the ladies my pictures from Easter (I have to post those) and they were asking how my transition back to work has been going. I explained that it has been going very well, I cried the first night before going back but there havent been any tears since then (well except for today). I can say there probably havent been more tears because Im not gone for a full day, only for a couple of hours at the most! At first I felt weird because I didnt cry that much and I wondered if it was because I secretly wanted to go back to work. Then I thought that was crazy, but honestly I never wanted to be a stay at home mom. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my child, and I want at least one more child, however, I never wanted to be a stay at home mom...I wanted the husband, children, career, social life...I WANT IT ALL! 

But is it possible to have it all and be good at it all...can I have the career , the kids, home cooked meals on a daily basis for my family, a chance to go to all their school events, and be a good wife to my soon to be husband. Is it wrong to want it all??? Or by being a woman do you have to sacrifice something to have it all?!?!? 

What do you think??? 

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!!! 

Well this is our last anniversary as an engaged couple, the next anniversary we will be celebrating will be our wedding anniversary! I couldn't have asked for a better mate, I'm so glad that God sent us to each other! I love our relationship, and through our recent experiences with Emma it has brought us even closer! I love you forever and I cant wait to be your wife!!! 

I Love You...You are the Cheese in My Macaroni!!! LOL!!!

Addiction...

Hi my name is Carissa and I am addicted to Heath Klondike Bars and Easter M&M's.  I used to only eat the regular Klondike bars, until a few days ago when Darrick only bought the Heath flavored Klondike, and I was immediately hooked. I am sitting here now with a Klondike in my hand, and Darrick just finished one too. I had to admit this to someone so maybe I would feel guilty and give my addiction up! LOL...I'm playing but I'm VERY serious, this cannot continue!! We cannot continue to eat these Klondike bars, we are getting married on May 26...and if we stop now we wont be mad at ourselves when we look at our pictures (okay I guess this is a bit much but I need to do something to force myself not to eat them).

I have one more addiction...Peanut M&M's. I have had this addiction ever since I had the baby, its like I cant have enough of them. And since the Easter pastel colors have come out I find myself eating more of them (its not like they taste any different LOL). I thought these sugar addictions would go away after I had Emma but it seems like its gotten worse. I gotta get this together and I mean quickly...not just for the wedding but in general! 

Found this sign on Pinterest...maybe I can incorporate it into life! 

Happy 2 Month Birthday Emma!!!

Today is Emma's 2 month birthday! We are so blessed to have you in our lives!!! It has really been a joy to have you home, keeping us up in the middle of the night LOL! Sometimes I just sit watch you sleep, its amazing to see how much you have grown in a month! I THANK GOD everytime I get the chance for blessing us with you!

Dreaded Phone Call...

Today I made that dreadful call to my supervisor about returning to work. The first time Darrick and I talked about me going back to work, I immediately started crying I couldn't handle having to leave Emma to go to work. Well after much thought and convincing myself...I decided to return on Monday. When I called I said that I wouldn't be coming back full-time just yet because I knew that Emma still has lots of appointments that we will have to take her to so I said I was coming back part-time until I can return to my full-time hours. I THANK GOD they are willing to work with me, but its still not something I looking forward to doing. I called a few of my co-workers and they asked if I was ready to come back and I said "NO" but I have to do it because I will have to take off later in the summer months once she has surgery, and the simple fact is I need my insurance for Emma if no one else! So I guess you can say this is my first big Mommy decision-to return to work! Booo!!! I guess I feel that I haven't had enough time with her at home, I mean my 6 weeks of maternity leave was spent in the hospital:( And now the last two weeks we have been together everyday...(tears)...I just don't want to leave her even if it is for a couple of hours!!!

How do Mom's do it? Please give me advice on how to handle this first day back and getting back into the groove of things?!?!?! I see tears in my future:(
