I guess with any blog there needs to be some sort of introduction. Apparently, I just jumped right in and wasn't even thinking about where to start. So, let's begin shall we.
Meet me, Megan Smith. I am a 26 yr. old Lafayette, Indiana resident. I am outgoing, crazy, blunt, opinionated, and all things crafty. That is basically me in a nutshell.
I work at the Hairspa here in Lafayette and love it. When I'm not crafting (crocheting, sewing, headband making, painting, whatever....) or with my family, I am at work. It is truly my home away from home. Why shouldn't you love what you do?
Other than work, I own my own very small business, Winnie Cole Boutique. You will learn more of that as time goes on. Come Christmas season.... You'll know. ;)
Of course, as this blog goes on you will form your own opinion of me and you'll learn to love/hate me like everyone else. You'll learn my strengths, weaknesses, and my passions. Won't take long promise. I am very long winded and definitely an open book.
If you think my husband is next- you'd be wrong. With every story there is a beginning- but he did not come first.
Meet Gwen.
My mini me. My Winnie bear. The first thing I can be proud of in my life.
4 years old and full of life. Vicarious, witty, smart, and too mature to be four. Those few words are not enough to describe this little daughter of mine. But again, as time goes by, you will learn to know her very well. VERY well. You'll see the funny things she says on here quite often. I can certainly promise you that.
Yes, Gwen came first. She is from a prior relationship that I had ended in 2010. Short lived, well defining moment in my life. That is all I will say about that. Live and learn, live and learn. You make mistakes, you learn from them. You are giving lessons, you grow from them. I do not regret it because Gwen did come from that relationship. I don't want to mislead you. It wasn't a BAD experience. Nothing horrible came from it. It just wasn't meant to be. I am not trying to be all daisies and petunias on this subject- it has taken me some time to get to this point. Here's a little unsolicited advice to all separated parents out there--
You fought enough when you were together. Do yourself a favor and at least be happy without.
Works for us. Better for everyone.
Anyways.... moving on. But now that is covered. Fast forward to June 2010
Josh aka. Dosh
(I used his favorite picture of us so he couldn't get mad. LOL)
Yes, this is my husband. Married in October 2012. Love him. He's my best friend, my soul mate. My forever guy.
I'll spare you all the type details written inside a Valentines Day card. You get it. <3
But, I'll be honest here. I am very open about my OWN life and about my children. I however, am not so open about our relationship. No, it's not because there are things to hide or to question. Our relationship is not made for public forum or for viral scrutiny. I love him, he loves me. I piss him off, he joines in. We are a normal couple, with normal problems. We are an open couple, with open conversation. You will never find me on here bashing my husband. We build, not destroy. Corny? Sure. No one wants to hear my bedroom talk, and I don't want to write about how "my husbands on his period." So, we're cool, right? LOL.
Again, I love him. He loves me. I am a FIRM FIRM believer on the theory that you let your spouse treat you the way you want to be treated. Respect is something we maintain here in our household. My blog shall do the same. :)
Back to Josh, (off the subject much?)
He also grew up here in Lafayette and also graduated in the same class as I. Little did we EVER know back then that we would now be married and have....
Emery Kae!!!!!
Yes, our littlest of the Smiths. Born November 7th, 2013. Our baby Emer, Emmy, Bitty Smitty, sissy, you name it.
As of now she is almost 11 months old, standing on her own, and SOOOO close to walking. She even took some of her first steps on Sept. 17! She is getting so big and so funny. There is just so much personality in her little self it cracks me up. She is always laughing and always smiling. Just the happiest little baby. :)
The bond that her and Gwen have together is amazing. They love being around each other so, so much and their laughs together are so awesomely profound, you just can't put a single word on it. Watching the two people you brought into this world love each other this much already is completely humbling. Absolutely humbling. Being a mom is the best thing I could have ever become.
So, there is a "bit" of us. As I stated earlier, as time and life goes by you can be there every step of the way. :) Thanks for reading!
xoxo,
Megan
