Such a love filled fridge. Save the dates, wedding photobooth photos, baby pictures. Life. Is. Happening.
It’s touching when people opt for half ass replacements of you when you are gone.
-story of my life
— John Lennon
Dear Boy,
Hey there kiddo. I will be meeting you in a few months, and I just wanted to introduce myself. My friends call me Jenny, but you can call me Mom. I’m really nervous to meet you because I never really thought of myself as being the motherly type, and I really don’t want to fuck this up. Your daddy is real excited to meet you too. Unlike me, you don’t have to worry about that guy. He’s gonna be great, and your gonna love him. I on the other hand, all I can tell you son, is that I will try my best.
I have a lot of friends who were so excited to be pregnant, and are so happy to be moms, I have to be honest with you, that may not be me. I’m not glowing, I feel fat, I’m not anxious, I find it hard to breath at times. But that doesn’t mean that I will love you any less when you get here.
I’m writing to tell you that before I became your mom, I was a lot of other things, and I don’t want you to take those things away from me. I am a woman, a free-spirit, a lover and a dreamer. I don’t want to lose myself in the process of being your mom, as I have seen over and over again with many other women. I want to be all those things and more.
You are gonna be brand new, but please remember I am new at this too. I’m pretty sure at least once or twice I forgot to feed the dog, I’ll try not to forget to feed you. I’m scared. Please take it easy on me, I’m nowhere near perfect, but like I said, I will try my best.
There isn’t a lot I can promise you, I can’t promise that I will be able to get you to stop crying, or change your diaper the correct way the first time, the only thing I can promise you is that I can give you all my love, and hope for all the best.
See you soon son.
Love,
Mom
<3 love story.
The only person you can truly count on is yourself.
The difference between me and them is that I could never hurt you like that. Not ever. -2012

Quite positive in a positive life. Destined for positive things. :)
My inner demons will never show you their face. Because I love you.
Dorms, greek row parties, inspiring teachers, sadly uninspiring teachers, biking to campus, budget cut rallies, dtsj debauchery, midterms, finals, group projects!! And meeting some of the greatest people in my life. Damn, college was awesome. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.
