The Next Journey Begins

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Christmas was amazing at the wigwam! We were all suprised by my dad christmas eve when Kenrick and Zephyr showed up at our front door. It was really a sweet gift, dad - you really out did yourself! We All chipped in and made an Amazinggg dinner. Fillets, Crab legs and Baked potatos! - mmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Then christmas morning we followed up with another delicious meal of stradda, sausage and peaches. It was a very small christmas this year considering usally theres a billion little cousins running around and enough food to feed an army. but for some reason this Christmas fit, it was close knit, fun and charming, i think we needed it. Plus its the perfect memory for me to take in my back pocket before i leave.
My flight leaves tomorrow morning at the break of dawn and I couldnt be more excited to bring in the new year with my new little "family". (Me, Tommy, and Ryder) THe anxiety is killing me. I know i am going to miss my family here in WA sooo much though, but i also know this is something i have to do for me and Ryder's sake. This will be the first time i leave the nest which seems very surreal, but it had to happen someday, right? Its not going to be easy, but i know in my heart itll be well worth it!
Ryders do Amazing. Hes smiling more then ever, and talking to me allllll the time, if only i could figure out what hes trying to say! ;) he gets cuter every day!!
Me and Ryder have alot ahead of us in the next few weeks.
first of all the flight. which is no fun!!! hopefully theres no delays because of the snow!
secondly ill be starting school, going into liberal arts/photography which i am stoked about! as well as working as a waitress once agiain...
thirdly - january 8th is Ryders 3 month birthday!!!
4thly - just getting re-established in my old town with a new life!

I am so excited to see everyone when i come back home, you have no idea. Feel free to call me WHENEVER (206) 963 7715

The new Love of my life!

Hola amigos!
I know its been a while but I’m sure as many of you know, its hard to find free time these first few weeks with a new born! Ryder is just about 4 weeks old now and time is flying by! But I cant even begin to tell you how much I LOVE being a momma! The New joy I have in my life is unexplainable and so surreal. He’s more precious to me then I could have ever imagined! His eyes are veryyy blue and he’s got his momma’s lips and his daddy’s eyes. His hair color is still up for debate. ½ the family bets he’ll have very light brown hair, where the other 1/2 bets he’ll be a toe head. I’m voting for the blonde! (of course!) So far he’s only got a few favorite things, EATING, sleeping, loud noise, and making amusing faces with his lips and eyebrows. He’s a pretty laid back baby all and all, and I couldn’t love him more! ☺
The Fam has welcomed Ryder with open arms and constantly pass him around hold and hug. Jake has embraced Ryder already as his new lil’ buddy. Giving him kisses and highfives every time he sees him - hes basically got his name down pat too!
Also the fam and friends here and in MI have all been so AMAZING. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I’m overwhelmed with all the support me and Ryder have from all of you- Its means the world! All your prayers truly do help. I don’t think I could do it with out you guys!! I am SOO excited for him to have such loving, compassionate, and supportive family and friends. I can’t wait for you guys to meet him!
On that note, here’s a couple of new pictures taken of my favorite man.
Love and Peace <333
