Over the last few years, I have experienced alot of "firsts." I've always been one for writing, so I figured a good way to keep track of life while it's happening is to start a blog! Therefore, I have yet another first in my life: my first blog post.
But let me back it up just a bit.
In May of 2007, I met Justin Breen, the FIRST guy who was actually worth my time and my heart. On July 4th of that year, we officially started dating. Two years later, on July 23rd of 2009, we got engaged, and on July 17th of 2010, I married him. That was the happiest day of my life! :) He is my best friend and my rock. I couldn't have asked for anything more and I thank God every day for bringing us together.
Justin bought a house in Cordova in February of 2009 and we lived there for 2 years. In December of 2010, we decided after months of contemplation that we were going to build a house and we signed a contract for construction to begin! So, although Justin had already owned a house, this was my FIRST and I became a homeowner along with him in March of this year! Justin and I decided to build in Arlington, TN, and we could not be more in love with our house and the town of Arlington. We live in a really great subdivison with lots of families and kids running around. Things just tend to move a little slower out there....which we really enjoy.
On June 16 of this year, I became an aunt for the FIRST time! Justin's brother, Trey, and his fiance, Nikki, welcomed a baby girl, LilliAnna Monroe Breen, at 7:30 p.m. She is absoultely beautiful and Justin and I are so excited to be Auntie Emmie and Unlcle Justin!
Little did we know that while building our house and planning out each room with incredible detail, that we would be spending ALOT of our time decorating the downstairs "guest room" when we moved in. That guest room is going to have a tiny little guest (of 18 years or more) in it sometime VERY soon! On March 24, 2011, we found out that we were going to be FIRST time parents! Yep, I peed on a stick and it came back positive. Talk about alot of things at once! We have been SO blessed and are SO thankful for all the things in life, but THIS just takes the cake! What we thought would be a guest room has now become a nursery, and all it needs now is an occupant. Our baby boy, Logan Michael Breen, is due on November 23, so I have about 3 weeks until my due date....if I make it that long! It's been quite an experience, and naturally, has included MANY firsts for me: the first time I've felt a kick from in my belly, the first time I've weighed more than 105 pounds, the first time Cocoa Crispies cereal and buffalo chicken sounded like a good combination, the first time I considered a load of laundry "cute" and the first time someone I have never met has completely melted my heart. I know my entire life is about to change, and I am more than ready to meet my little Logan and begin my journey as a FIRST time mom.
It is my goal to keep everyone updated about our little family of 3 via this blog. I don't even know if anyone will actually care to read it, but it will serve as sort of an online diary for me and a way to record everything that is happening...all the "firsts" if you will. :)
