How it all began

Ralph and I have been together since the summer of 2008 but it all began in 1992. Ralph's sister, Colleen and I have been best friends since 6th grade and we grew up at each other's houses throughout the years. Ralph was always around but being the younger brother was forbidden to be around us (not that he wanted to make up dances with us). We said hi during high school and when I needed a jersey to wear to school on Fridays, Ralph was nice enough to let me wear his. He visited Kent State while I was there once to look at the football team and campus but decided against attending. He joined the Marine Corps and we spoke through emails every now and then just to see how the other was doing. Life went on and our paths finally crossed again in 2008 when Colleen invited me to their families yearly 4th of July party. Ralph was home on leave from Iraq and I just moved back to Cincinnati. This time when we saw each other things seemed a little different and the rest is history. In December 2011 we were engaged, July 2012 we were married, April 2013 we bought our first house and March 2014 we had our first child, Braxten! Each year has been more blessed than the last and we are so excited to see where our future takes us!

Tough morning for B

Braxten has been such as easy going little boy, always happy and playful but over the past three weeks or so he has become very whiny and needy while introducing a high pitched scream and cry. We hit a max today as there was nothing I could do to help him calm down. I checked his temperature and there is a slight fever but consistent with teething. He has been eating his hands and drooling which he has never done before. I know teething is an ugly time and very painful for them, I wish there was something I could do for him besides medication that isn't really helping. He refuses to bite teething toys, of course everything else goes on his mouth though. I am also hoping that's all it is. Poor little guy. I hate that I feel myself get so frustrated but I can't make him better and I can't stand that. He is napping now and will see how he is doing when he wakes up. Fingers crossed he feels better.
