What's In A Date

June
First
Two
Thousand
Eleven

All in one day our lives changed so much!  Last year two major things occurred and 11 years ago a life changing event that would lead me on the path to where I am today.

June 1, 2001 was my first date with Rusty.  My last first kiss.  He wasn't my last true love though.  Thankfully Ryne came along to steal that one away.

June 1, 2011
What can I say about this day?  Looking back, it wasn't a good day.  First, I was moving away from Hays.  A town that I used to literally dream of moving back to.  I left my friends whom I miss dearly each day.  I don't have many here.  Second, on our way to Oklahoma I received the phone call that I did in fact have gestational diabetes.  Funny, that second thing was no big deal looking back now.  I still struggle with the other.  I'm sure I always will.

So, here I sit.  Looking out my window at the countryside while my baby boy naps peacefully in his crib.  May I point out, I have not stated that I am not happy.  If only we could take all the components that would grant us complete bliss and bottle it up.  I guess that's what our memories are for.
