Today was good. I slept in for the first time all week. I didn't get up till one! It was GLORIOUS!! Today was the Baytown Christmas Parade. Raylen and Harley were in it for their dance class. They are growing up so fast! I still remember the first time I ever saw Raylen. She was two years old, and probably the cutest thing I had ever seen at that point. She had tiny brown pigtails and eyes so big you'd swear she was looking into your heart. We were at one of Jeffrey's orchestra concerts. Yes, my baby the musician,! Jarod, Jeffrey's brother was holding her and she was leaning out away from him, towards the table of food reaching as hard as she could. All she said was, "Uh cuppacake!" My heart melted.
Jeffrey and I met in highschool. We had algebra together freshman year. We didn't talk though. Fate brought us together again junior year. The day had seven periods and we had five together. So we began to talk in class that way. I was dating Tim at the time so nothing came of it. I was definitely interested in Jeffrey though. Instead we became good friends. We talked everyday about what was going on in our lives. I told him about my family and my friends and the awesome career I had planned for myself back then. I was going to double major in linguistics and political science. Too bad that fell through, lol. He told me about his family and his family, that was basically all. I could tell from back then they were super important to him. He told me everything, even about Sandi's ass of a boyfriend, and how Shannon was pregnant.
He texted me on the last day of school junior year to tell me that since it was summer and we wouldn't see eachother for three months he finally had the courage to tell me he liked me. Almost a month into senior year Tim and I broke up and a month later Jeffrey left his girlfriend for me. A week later was homecoming and it was also our first date. Before we went to meet Janey, Ashley, Brittany and Gilbert to take pictures our parents wanted to take some of just us. So mom and I came over to the Thibodaux house where I met everyone for the first time. Including Harley. Tiny two month old baby Harley. She was gorgeous. I still remember that I met everyone again on new years and I wanted to hold Harley- Jeffrey wouldn't let me because I had nothing to clean my hands with and Shannon was really anal about that. I understand though I will be too. I still tease him about that.
Shannon and Kenny lived in san marcos for almost the whole first two years we were together. I only saw Harley when they would come down for the weekend or for holidays. I loved her though. She had the prettiest little curls and the sweetest, tiniest voice ever. I was beyond excited when they decided to move back to Baytown. They've been back for over a year now. So I've watched her grow up for a while and change and learn. She has definitely grabbed a spot in my heart. I adore her. I still remember tiny two month old Harley and tiny two year old Raylen like yesterday. Today Raylen came home from kindergarden so smart and sure and big, to go be in her very first Christmas parade with her big old three year old cousin Harley. <3 </3 Mixed emotions. I don't want them to grow up, but I'm so excited that I get to be apart of it. I'm so thankful Jeffrey shares his giant family with me.
I adore Kameron and Taryn with every inch of my being, so one day soon they will each get an entire blog dedicated to them too. For tonight though, just this: They came tonight too. Kameron and Taryn's first time watching the first christmas parade. Taryn slept through the entire thing. Big brother has made it easy for her to sleep through such noise. Kameron didn't know what to think. He enjoyed himself SOO much! He loves lights. Any kind: lamps, christmas lights, flash lights, you name it. He also loves trucks and cars. So combine the two and he's in heaven. He was really good too. He sat there and watched and clapped and yelled. It was until very near the end did he get restless. I can't blame him though I was a bit restless myself. He looked so cute all bundeled up. He had a beanie with a little fuzzy ball on top. :D
I'm sorry I dragged you along my trip down memory lane. I just feel so blessed to be apart of the two wonderful little girls's lives today. I feel so blessed to have an amazing man share his wonderful life with me. I feel so lucky to know all the people I know, and have them apart of my life. In other news I have an interview tomorrow at village. He already said he'd hire me though so I'm not sure why I'm having an interview.. maybe I'm filling out W2s and what not. "/ I'm excited though. I need to make better decisions and this is a good start. I'm sorry I jumped all around tonight lol I hope you were able to follow it. Until tomorrow, friends.
