My handsome boy

On September 20, 1998 my handsome and first child was born. Glenn Steward Rixon- Jefferies was born at 12:36 am on a Sunday morning. He came after and exhausting 3 days of labour, and endless hours of pain and pushing.... was it all worth it??? Hell yeah. He was a quiet gorgeous little man from the day he was born. Craved attention, very curious, big bright brown eyes would follow all sounds throughout the room. Now, on the other hand, he's loud, full of himself, active, still curious, and chatty....( I don't know where he gets that from) Glenn has been and always will be a handful and that sometimes exhausts me, but every night I get a hug and a kiss and a quiet "I love you" and it makes it all worth while. Hopefully soon I will be able to download some baby pictures of him so I can share with you how beautiful he was and still is.

Our Future

So as most of you know we are getting married in March, in Mexico. seems a little quick I know but like the saying goes..... you know when you know, and I know! when someone makes you laugh when all you want to do is cry or helps you smile when you want to throw a brick through a window, you know. Just seeing his face, hearing his voice, seeing his name on my phone......yeah I know. So as soon as we get pictures I will definitely put them on here for you all to see.

Our first trip together

So as I said before we went on our first trip all together in February 2008. We flew to the Dominican republic. It was an amazing week. Here are some pictures. I was trying to pose Kayla and my camera jammed so when I told her to pose a second time... well you see what happened!! This is Glenn on the beach. The photographer took pictures of us and this was a pose she got Ryan and I to do...but it looks like a beluga whale has landed on the beach so I've opted not to show it. Instead I asked Glenn to pose for me. That's Kayla in the back ground. The water was like a bath, the sand was actually too hot for your feet, the air smelled salty and sweet at the same time.....it was paradise.

My kids

So since this will be about our family I need to introduce my kids. Glenn is my oldest he's 9.. 10 in September and my baby girl Kayla she's 7, 8 in septmeber. My kids both have the same father and I was a single mom for 6 years before Ryan came along. It's taken them some getting used to the idea that Ryan is a permanant fixture in our family but they are doing alright. It shows you too what kind of a man Ryan is to take on 2 black kids that aren't his as well. We are going to try to have kids of our own but stupid me went and got my tubes tied 2 years ago and now my chances aren't as great but we still have some options that we are exploring. These pictures are form our trip to the Dominican in february. It's the forst time the kids were on an airplane and further than New Brunswick. They will soon be world travellers with Ryan around.

In the beginning.....

OK, so it's official, thanks to Yolanda" my home girl" Thorne my blog cherry has been broken. Now all of you can check up on our status without even having to talk to me...lol. So first I guess I'll give you all (that don't know) a run down of how this whole relationship got started. For those of you who may be faint of heart there could be explicit details and I will give this a PG 13 rating. So here we go.............

Once upon a time...... NOT!!!
There once was a girl from Lake Echo,
Who the hell am I kidding. Ryan and I have been acquaintances for maybe 2 years, give or take. He was in a long term relationship and I was still looking for love in all the wrong places. We used to flirt to no end but that's as far as it ever went. Both being committed and all. So finally one day I stopped in to see a good friend of mine, whom was also friends of Ryan's and he asked me to go to dinner and a movie with him. Kinda corny at the time and I was convinced he was just trying to get a new piece of ass, but I turned him down. So as persistent as he is, he kept asking me and asking me, all in the same evening so i asked Darren for his number. It took all my years of experience to work up enough balls to call him, but I did. We talked for about 2 hours and then twenty minutes later we talked again for another 2. We finally agreed to meet up for coffee and I picked him up the next evening before going out with my sister. We went out for coffee and then text ed each other the next 3 hours. Later that evening we met up again and continued the late nite evenings for about 2 weeks.
Ryan is an amazing man and I'm thankful everyday for his ex breaking up with him, because he is a blessing to me. So from this point on I'll fill you in on the last almost year, August 23rd to be exact, but we will soon have a new date to remember because we are getting married on March 26, 2009 in Mexico.
