Fall is in the air and I love it! The smells of fall and the crispness in the air is so delightful! My poor apple cinnamon candle never gets to take a break. Speaking of smells... some of you may know that I have a super human dog like sense of smell. This has never been an issue in the past but now it is my worst enemy! There is a very nice middle eastern man that lives across from us and next to him a very interesting Asian couple that keep to themselves and run the other way when they see people. Very strange. Anyway these people are cookers! Gaaaahhhh, the smells seeping into our apartment have me literally covering my nose with my shirt and holding my breath as I walk passed. I am soo nauseous all day long and certain smells put me over the edge. I'd like some nose plugs please! I think I am about half way through the first trimester and while I'd like to enjoy being in the moment I really wouldn't mind speeding up time.
Also I started school at Portland Community College and I am thankful because it takes my mind off of being sick all of the time. I am so excited to get back into the nursing field, especially now that I am older and biology excites me rather than making me cringe like it used to.
This next week we are moving into Cam's north Portland home. We are SO ready to put our clothes into a dresser and to find that long lost crock pot that needs to be producing loads of pot roasts. I've been fine for the past three weeks living basically out of a suitcase because I had no other choice, but there is nothing like having a place to put your stuff! George Carlin said it best when he said, "That is the whole meaning of life, trying to find a place for your stuff." That guy is incredible. Anyway, it is true. I find that I cannot be organized if my living situation is a mess! So easy to say that this is what I have been looking forward to for months!
Adios for now,
XO

One little old month. Maybe..
Hello lovely's,
Today was a good day. Each day comes with surprise emotions. I wish I could get a hold of that little guy in my brain just to tell him that I've got this! No more worry no more fear! I've said it for years, everything happens the way it's supposed to happen. What i'm talking about here people is that I am homesick! I miss everyone.. especially my mama. Her homemade food, her hugs, her closeness. The one person that can always comfort me. I love you ma!
On another note i'm still growing this little human at the slowest rate possible! I finally told one of my best friends Cheltsie today and she called me a liar she didn't believe me for the next ten minutes of our conversation either. She also said that she would've known by now because she would've seen my mothers Facebook post. Haha. While my mother is ecstatic I told her to wait. She also was throwing around the idea that I might be further along than I thought. What an interesting thought. Hmmm. If Cam and I are correct on our date today would mark the One month mark. Eeek! It is all so new still and quite frankly, I still don't believe it. It is all part of the beautiful journey. Going to try to enjoy every little moment.
XO Bree

Here and now.
Well hello!
I wanted to start this blog weeks ago but just like an essay I never knew where to start. I guess this is sort of like a journal that everyone reads right? I must keep that in mind. I wouldn't think people would find my journal very interesting. It was always a place that I ran to when I was sad or feeling alone. Getting it out on paper and not forgetting, but leaving those feelings behind was always a way that I coped with stress.
Moving on... :)
This blog will be dedicated to my closest family and friend who worry about me. Haha no, that is a joke. I only need two worriers in my life and those two would be my parents.
I go through times where I become introverted (no one believes me when I say this) but I have learned that it is another coping mechanism for dealing with stress. This will be the portal where you all can check on how little Bree Bree is doing. I have always tried to stay away from anything that could expose my insecurities (for example writing in this blog) because I consider myself to be not such a great writer. I do however believe that you have to face the things you fear most to conquer them. This is my attempt to document my life events and to become a better writer.
2013 has been such an eventful year in my life. It blows my mind to reflect back and see how I have gotten to where I am. The simplest day to day decisions shape your life. I have always told myself to follow my heart and to always embrace who I am and what I believe. Life is tough sometimes but I have found things that bring me back to me. No matter how little or how often I practice Yoga and Meditation they will always be a huge part of my life. It'll always there and I will always have it to turn to. Without fail these practices help me get back on track.
So since no one has subscribed to my blog yet I guess it is okay to spill the beans about something that that has been so hard to keep a secret..... Here goes... Cam and I are having a baby stout! I will be four weeks in four days! It feels like a dream that I keep thinking I am going to wake up from, but it is real and it is happening. We know exactly when it happened too. The story is quite interesting and lovely and I will tell it while sparing the details.
We had only been in Portland a month when Cameron had to leave for three weeks to open mad stores in the big ol city of New York. I had been dreading this since 1. Cam was my rock, he held me together with just a few short words. 2. I didn't know a sole in this new city. So as you can imagine I was a crazy wreck for those looooong three weeks. We could hardly stand to be apart since we hadn't left each others side since I moved to Dallas. This guy flew me out to NYC! I am so loved by him it humbles me every time I think about how thoughtful and supportive he is. Anyway jees, i'm getting all teary eyed! So when I get to the airport I find that I am a day early for my flight. GREAT. I couldn't believe this had happened. JetBlue arranged for me to hop on a flight that night anyways. There was no way I could have waited another day! As I descended I noticed that the time was 5:00 am. I couldn't remember the last time I saw 5 am but I was wide eyed and ready to smooch the babe that would be waiting curbside for me. Little did I know that that day would be the day that changed our lives forever. The love that we have and had for each other that day radiated for miles. Later that day I checked my Pcalender (again trying not to get into details ha) and found that that day had been the only day that month that I was ovulating. Go figure.
It blows our minds that couples try for months and months to get pregnant but for us it only took one uups! That uups should have happened later in our lives but now we are blessed with this little soul inside me and we are so excited and so full of love that we wouldn't want it any other way.
Off to bed now.
With love, Bree XO
