Roweyn's Ramblings Wk. 42

Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? We sure did! If you missed out on the photos and what we did, you can check them all out right here. :)


The day after Thanksgiving I came down with yet another cold, only bummer was that this one turned into a sinus infection. :( But it was straight back to work on Monday while trying to battle it out. Roweyn also turned 23 months over the weekend! Can't believe in a month she will be TWO!

Tuesday the 29th was a special day though; I turned 23! Since I was not feeling good at all, we spent the day relaxing and just enjoying the nice weather. And of course giving kisses! If you missed my 23rd birthday post be sure to check it out. The next day Roweyn let me put a pig tail in for a bit and then made it hard to get any photos! hehe

We spent some more time outside in the nice weather playing in the leaves! Then it was off to babysit baby Henry. Roweyn loves helping me watch him. On Dec. 1st we surprised my sister Tayelor with an early Christmas present. Tickets to the Jingle Ball concert to go see a few different bands along with her favorite singer Selena Gomez. We made a sister date out of it and had a great time! Friday it was back to preschool for Roweyn. I am not too sure what she is doing here! haha

Hope it was a good week for everyone! Can you believe it's December now?!

Twenty Three

Today I turned Twenty Three. 


I've forgotten how young I really am. I've always felt older than my actual age. After having Roweyn, I feel like I've aged even more, instead of feeling like I'm turning Twenty Three, I feel like I'm turning Twenty Eight. But I'm not Twenty Eight, I am only Twenty Three and I am still young and I still have many, many years in my life. (Not that Twenty Eight is old, because it's really not. ha) That's something I forget often, especially being a single Mom. I feel like I need my entire life put together now or it's not going to work out. I feel like the plans that I once had, that I once dreamt of, still need to happen the same way, otherwise I'm letting down Roweyn. Now I know that's really not the case, it's just hard to let go of something you wanted so badly because you didn't have it. I'm sure there are many people that can relate. Lucky enough for me, it is something that I can let go of, because it's not life or death and if it's meant to be it can still happen.

I'm excited for what this next year of my life brings. I'm hoping for some good change. I can't wait to spend every minute I can with Roweyn, just like the past almost two years, watching her grow, remembering everything I can. Life goes by so fast, and it's so easy to forget the little things and sometimes even the big things. It's very bittersweet. I've realized that my Mom must feel the exact same way as I do, especially today, seeing her little girl, now Twenty Three years old. I can't even imagine Roweyn 21 years from now, the same age as I am today. It will be here before I know it and that's just crazy to me!


So here's to not worrying so much about the future, to focusing on what's right in front of me and to remembering and cherishing every moment I can with my family.

Movie Monday: Week Eight

This is a cute video of Roweyn at 9 months laughing everytime I pick a flower. It's darling. Oh and please ignore the ending. I tried to edit it but it wouldn't load for some reason. So I'll just have to be embarrassed. Oh well. :|

Have a great week! It's exactly 2 weeks today till my birthday! Of course I have nothing to do, I can't decide if I should work or do something else. Although if I were to not work I would probably just spend the day at home with Roweyn. Hmm. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them! :)
