love & cupcakes

it is the day before hendrix turns TWO.  TWO. what the hell happened? sometimes it seems like it took eternity to get here.  other times, it feels like i fell into worm hole and came out two years later.  even with all the hardships, these have been the best years of my life.  thanks to my love, mike, i have become a mother.  and i am able to be a fairly good one.  hendrix taught both mike and i that plans are severely overrated.   mike and i have weathered the storm that is called life.  life with a newborn.  life remodeling a neglected farmhouse.  life starting a farm.  life dealing with job loss.  life planning a wedding.  nothing can take us down.  we are in love with each other and our son.  stories like ours don't always work out.  moving in, pregnant, after three months is not what most parents dream or advise for their children.  but i knew it would be fine.  when you know, you know.  you know? mike is a kind, loving, patient, man.  he is a man. you want your boys to be like him.  strong, mechanically inclined, well read, compassionate.  a man who loves his mother.  as i fall in love with hendrix, i fall even more in love with mike.  mike has always loved and supported me.  even when i was being crazy.  now that is true love.  i love you more than mashed potatoes and gravy, mike.  you are my favorite person.
