Ask any newlywed what the most common question is asked of them immediately following the "I do's" and 99.9 percent of the them will say, "so, when are you guys gonna have kids?!". I was expecting that question no doubt, but didn't realize the impact it would have on my thoug
hts and feelings of, "man, I need to have kids soon." Not to mention my sister in law and brother in law announced the coming of their first baby about one month after our nuptials and a year after theirs. Cadence Hailey was born in July of 2009.
The next year, the first of our marriage, took us to Denver, St. Louis, Dallas, Los Angeles, and then a last minute trip to Madrid, Seville, and two months later to New Zealand for our dream vacation. Seriously the trip of a lifetime inclusive of business class internationally, glacier hiking, skydiving, bungy jumping, and helicopter ride to the top of the Remarkables. Just to name a few. I fell even more in love with Casey on that trip.

So this made me realize. My ultimate passion is to be a great mom for my kids and an amazing wife for my husband while we live our lives in a small, growing community near family and friends. I want the neighborhood block parties, the family holiday gatherings with all the kids running around, and all the PTA meetings to come. And of course, Grubb and I want to be sugar-sharing neighbors. However, there are things to be done, places to be seen, and adventures to be had without the added responsibility of something I know one day I will cherish.
Here it is. My adventures laid out before me. More to come and I can't wait!
