October 22. This day is so special. Today, 5 years ago, was a day that changed mine and my husbands lives forever. 5 years ago, I had a 'gut feeling' that I was pregnant. I was never pregnant before, I didn't even know what it would feel like.. No idea. I just felt it. So after a few days, Walter and I went to Walmart. We picked up a test. The kind that says with words "pregnant" or "not pregnant" so there'd be no mistake with lines. "Results 5 days sooner...5 days!? It takes that long to find out!?" Walter asked me. Then, I watched my boyfriend feel uncomfortable purchasing a pregnancy test at the register. It was all as if we were in an episode of Friends or something. This wasn't exactly planned, even though after a talk before hand, it wasn't exactly not planned either. Anyway.. I smoked my last cigarette (ever! ew!), I took that pee, I came out to the sound of Knocked Up, by Kings of Leon (good one, babe!), I stood leaning against the bedroom wall with my legs shaking so bad that I had to sit down. Then.... There it was "pregnant". PREGNANT!!!! I was pregnant. We were having a baby. What an incredible day. And here we are, 5 years, a wedding, 3 babies, a new city, and the happiest life later. How amazing. Life is amazing. I'm so in love with my husband, and I really like him too! We're so lucky to have each other, to spend the rest of our lives together. I don't think any two people have ever been so right for each other. 

These last 5 years have been more than I feel that I deserve. I'm so thankful. 

Camera phones weren't what they are today.. Hah!
