Happy July Love’s! I’m back, I’m married…and I’m also a
Mommy! Say what?!? Yes, I am also a Mommy!
Nina and I said I Do on June 17th in front of
our friends in beautiful Las Vegas. I love Vegas and cannot wait to go back. We
had a beautiful suite, awesome last night of freedom at the strip club (Shout
Out to Lacy’s Lounge and Passion), beautiful views during dinner at the
Stratosphere, and just a wonderful time all around. Vegas was the perfect
choice for a stress free, nothing but fun wedding experience. I am so grateful
that we ditched the whole Big Wedding at Home idea. I couldn’t handle the
stress.
So how is married life? Honestly, nothing has changed.
The only difference is you now have a piece of paper…and you can’t put the
other person out. Nina and I are still the same with each other, only now we
are aware that the other is truly effected by choices each of us makes in terms
of finances, etc. We make joint decisions about big things now versus just
giving the other person a heads up. And we make it known that the other person
has speaking power where one of us is concerned so conversations are full
circle.
In-Law issues? We’ve had one or two, from her side of
course (not surprised) but we handled it and pretty much went on about our
business. People are petty and spiteful and unfortunately we call them family…but
that doesn’t mean I have to take the bait and lower myself to their standards.
I’ll just act like you don’t exist and carry on with my life.
And the Mommy business? I am not preggers and have not
been preggers, although that is still in the plans. Nina and I are going to get
full custody of and adopt my infant niece. We have been helping my folks care
for her and we are ready to move forward with having her full-time thus making
us Mommies! I am excited, we love her very much, and she looks just like me so
it’s an added bonus.
In other news…I have decided to get out of hospital
Nursing and venture back into social services centered nursing or just back to
the realm of Program Management period. So much has changed in Nursing and for
the worse. I’d rather be rated on my ability to save your life versus my ability
to ensure that your coffee is “180 degrees” (real comment from a survey by the
way). Nina and I have also started our own business so we’re on our road to
being a power lesbian couple.
So much has been going on in this world that I am
definitely going to speak on our crocked law enforcement system and instilling
values back into our families and communities. These are sad times we are
living in…but for now I am happy, married, and mommy.
