new news!!!

so this month i have gotten some news that at first was really hard to think about!! but i think it is settled with me now and now im excited!!! haha i bet your all thinking im pregnant hahaha nope no baby in my belly!!! but it does have to do with a baby!!! about a month ago one a Wednesday neal got a call from someone he used to date she said i need to talk to you so he went and talked to her and she told him that she had a kid. time added up when they were together.. so he came to my house and told me the news. At first i broke down and couldn't stop crying... i asked him where that left us and he said " sam we are still getting married you are the woman i want to spend the rest of my life with" so of course i cried more!!!! the thought kept rolling into my head of him being with someone else and the thought of him holding his baby that i didn't have a part of making.. it hurt... but after about an hour of crying i started laughing uncontrollably he asked what was so funny and i told him we could totally be on the maury show!!!! ( i've always wanted to be on that show cuz i think its really funny!!!) he then started laughing too!!! then he asked if i was mad so i told him the truth "im sad but not mad it was your past i cant be mad at something in your past"!! we both told each other how much we love each other and hugged for a long time!!! we got him in for a paternity  test and waited about two weeks for the results they came back and sure enough neal has a little girl!! we got to meet her on friday she is adorable!!!! neal and i are together in this!!! i am proud to be a stepmom and i love neal with my whole heart!!! i know we can get though this together i am so thankful for neal and i am excited for the challenges that are going to be down the road. no matter what its neal and i forever!!! i love my fiance!!! i cant wait to marry him!!! <3

today it has been one year since i lost my little life saver hayley!!

she saved me countless times!!! im so thankful that i had her in my life!! today has been pretty hard to think about a year ago tonight she started seizing on my floor i was so scared!!! i remember jake (my brother) coming to my rescue and telling me it was going to be ok and all i could say was 'i was so scared i didn't know what to do' i remember seeing the life fade out of her adorable brown eyes... when mom and dad went to get clothes and shoes on they told me to stay with her so i held her and told her thank you for all that she did for me with out her i have no idea where my life would be now.. honestly i think i would be hooked on hard drugs without a family and in a really dark place!! thanks to hazerbeebum i am home with my loving family the most amazing man by my side and getting married in april!!! life has changed for the better and i really do think hayley had everything to do with that so thank haybay miss and love you hope heaven is great!!! <3
