Hello! My name is Brittany Higginbotham (obviously) and I am jumping into this blog with no prior experience or knowledge on blogging. I guess I should start off by saying that I am a proud mother of two boys, Bryce and Brayden, and I am also the wife of one of the best men I have ever met in my life, Ryan. I am not quite sure as to what made me want to start blogging...other than the fact that I was entirely fed up with how drama-filled and boring Facebook was becoming...yes I am sad to admit I was once a Facebook addict. I want to tell people about how I am feeling and what new things I am facing in my life, but without the fear of offending or ticking someone off and having them vent about me through a "status update". I honestly feel as though there are so many good things that I should be happy and proud of in my life...but most of the time there are hardly any people out there that care enough to listen to me talk about them. OK OK OK on to the good stuff :)
Let's see...maybe I should tell you a little bit about me as a person and what I like doing. I just recently turned 25 and I have been married for almost 5 years. I love my family more than life itself and while sometimes I have a poor way of showing it, I would do anything in my power to make them happy. I ABSOLUTELY love reading, scrap booking, taking pictures and just recently my husband has opened up the world of photoshop to me and I have set my goal to mastering it. After spending a full year at home with my boys I recently decided to venture out into the real world and find a part time job. I am proud to say I am now an employee at our local Walmart Supercenter...WOW that sounded a lot better in my mind than it looks in this blog. OH WELL...this is something I feel as though I need to do for myself and my family and in the end that is all that really matters, regardless as to what other people might say or think about it.
Let's see...something that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately is that my oldest, Bryce, is getting ready to turn four!!! It is scary to think that it feels like it was just yesterday that my husband and I found out we were going to be having him. I wish that I would have known that time would go by this fast and maybe then I would have treasured the little moments more than what I did. I guess you can't turn back the hands of time...you can only learn from what you know and grow from it. I am terrified of Bryce starting school and not being Mommy's little boy anymore. He has already gotten to where he doesn't like to hug and kiss me as much anymore and he just wants to be "tough" too dang much already...I wish there was a way to pause time and live in this moment forever. My biggest fear is that he will forget all about how special he is to me and he will not want to be around me anymore...wow I sound so pathetic! OK...enough of that I want to show you, whoever you are, the party invitations that with the help of my husband I created in photoshop...
So, if anyone is reading this please tell me what you think! On to the next one...
My youngest, Brayden, is almost 18 months now. It saddens me to think that time since he was born seems to have went quicker than it did with Bryce. WHY? Maybe the reason is because I was too caught up in life's daily rituals and responsibilities to really enjoy his "baby days". It seems as though he has done and continues to do things quicker than Bryce EVER did. I honestly don't think that it is because he "smarter"...I think his big brother is just doing an awesome job at showing him what being a little boy is all about. Brayden is such a goofy little boy!! He loves to "tickle" everyone and even when it hurts you can't help but laugh. He has a head full of curls and I just can't bring myself to take him to get his "first haircut". How do you honestly decide when it is the right time? Do we ever really decide for ourselves...maybe when society decides to start calling your little boy a little girl you think it is time to define his sex and take him to a hair butcher and say, "whack it off and while your at it make him look like a boy". WHO KNOWS!?! Do you think it is time for a haircut???
Well...the last person I am going to talk about tonight is the love of my life, Ryan. Some people say they love their spouse...but are they in love or just content and happy with loving them because they are married? Well, let me tell you...I am madly in love with this man and I know I will be in love him until the day I die. Never would I have imagined when Ryan and I started dating in September of 2002 that we would be married and have two kids 9 years later. There are times when we talk that we both wish that we would have enjoyed each other more before we decided to add to our family...but we both know when we look into our babies eyes that we wouldn't change it for anything. Ryan is my rock...end of discussion. He supports me with everything I do and loves me unconditionally regardless as to if I make mistakes or not. Can you honestly say that you married your best friend? Well...I can honestly say that I married my best friend. I never want to live a day without him. Ryan has recently started studying to become a Graphic Designer at Full Sail University, and I couldn't be any more proud of him than I am now. He is not only a full time student, but he is also a full time employee at FedEx Office, a full time Daddy and a WONDERFUL full time husband. I couldn't ask for a better man to be sharing my life with...
Well, I am going to end this post here...but I look forward to telling you more another day...
