Monday Memories: birthday week

This time last year Patrick had just returned for way too many weeks in Alaska. 
During that time I found I was pg with Reese. 
This time last year, we were celebrating my 24th birthday together. 
My first birthday we celebrated together was #17!  
He put together a birthday dinner for me at Javier's with some of our good friends.
 
Earlier that day before dinner we had our 1st' ultrasound to see little Miss Reese. 
Married 2 years {almost}, 2 babies {almost}.
Life was good.

This Wednesday I'll celebrate my 1st birthday without him. 
25. 
Not quite where I pictured my life at 25. 
Which made me think of that cliche question, 
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" 
If you'd asked me five years ago... 
My life was headed towards my answer to that question... 
but it quickly u-turned. 
And if someone were to ask me that question today,
I think I'd punch them. 
"I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker" as P would say.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday week! You guys have so many great memories to cherish.

I know you will not be thinking about this anytime soon, but one day someone really special will enter into your life. They will not be able to ever replace Patrick, but you will feel almost whole again. Well, this is my wish for you.

Thinking of you always, but especially this week. You are always heavy on my heart, but I think about you even more when there are "firsts" that you have to experience. I know this one wont be easy, but I hope you remember all the good times you had and thankful for what you have been given, on this special birthday. Happy early Birthday!
