This is what I woke up to this morning. What a beautiful sight.

Are there any cherries left?

I have decided to join the crowd and create my own blog, of course it is my "family" blog. No stone will be left unturned. I will start by telling a little about myself and my family of three. Here goes...

I am officially today 26, Yay! This is said with lots of enthusiasm believe me. Yesterday was mine and Mike's 5th wedding anniversary. Now that is something to really be excited about. I come from a very small family, one seester and of course my mom and dad. I grew up in a small rural town in south Georgia. The sad thing is that the community I live in now, which is a housing community, no stores, has as many people as my home town. I always give 100% of myself to my friends and family. I am a very loving, devoted, caring, friendly, sarcastic, and optimistic person. I am a very tolerating person unless you hurt my family or meddle in my business. Mike and I moved to Texas 2 years ago which has had it's ups and downs as with anything. My family and friends are so proud of Mike and I and believe in us 100%. Which is awesome considering we really in a way have grown up together and maybe sometimes haven't made the best of decisions. Their support is just awesome, I couldn't ask for anything better. I, of course, have a new family now with Mike. Claire Morgan graced us with her appearence on May 21st. And let me tell you that was a scary, satisfying and awesome experience.

My Mike is originally from California and grew up with 5 other siblings. He has a large family. He has an awesome dad that taught him good morals and values. He is what "men" are suppose to be. His mom is a very nice and loving person who at times is very "flighty" but that is what makes her, her and unique. Four out of five of his siblings live within 2 hours of here and his dad and stepmom live 3 hours from here. So it makes for fun and interesting family gatherings. All of his siblings are unique in their own ways which is something I admire in all of them. His mom and a sister live in San Fran and seem to Love it. Hopefully one day we will get to visit them. He truly is my true love and soul mate and as my dad said when he gave permission for my hand in marriage " I couldn't have asked or picked a better man to stand by my daughters side".

Claire is a spitting image of Mike all except her hands, ears and nose. Those do come from me. She is a redhead with blue eyes and a personality to go along with that red hair. She has beautiful big almond shaped eyed with long, curled eyelashes which one day is going to have boys on their knees. Psst don't mention boys to Mike, he's already planned his attack. LOL!! I'm hoping she is going to be tall and slender like her daddy instead of short and squatty like her mama. I have a really strong feeling she is going to be spoiled rotten, and she will get all the attention she can stand for a long time. Right now she is rolling over like crazy, trying to crawl, eating yummy yummy rice cereal, and finding her voice box. She is soo much fun to have and gives us something to do. She is a daddy's girl for sure.

I will try and keep this thing up and going and will fill everyone in on our adventures as a family. My parents will be here on Tues for a week which is going to be super nice but always very interesting to say the least so I am sure I will have something to write.
