Our Story

Smile, Its Becky asked the question "how did you and Adam meet?". Here is our story.

The year 2006 was a crazy year for me. I decided to leave my husband(I was married for 2 years) and I also met Adam, got pregnant, and moved to Rhode Island. I don't really like to talk about my marriage to Asshole. So I'm not going to. Just know that it ended bad in April of 06. Most of my friends were married including a friend named Holli. Her husband had just gotten back from Iraq in May. His friends were throwing a luau themed party. Holli invited us to come along.

That night was really fun. I danced on a truck bed, had a few keg beers, and played guitar hero. All through the night I kept looking at this guy. He looked so familiar to me but I couldn't place him at all. That was until I saw his friend, Boston. He was someone you just don't forget. He is crazy(like in a fun way). A year before this luau party I met those two in a bar called Blackhorse. It still blows my mind away that I met this guy a year before and now here is...Adam back in my life again. I don't know call me crazy but I think thats what you call fate.

I took that as a sign and from that point on in the night were inseperable. I shook my money maker on him all night. I had a great time at the luau that I didn't want it to end. So everyone decided to go IHOP for some food. Adam got my number and were texting like crazy to each other while eating. He even paid for my breakfast. What a fellow.

We finally said goodnight but our relationship didn't end there, of course. I think we saw each other every single day after that until he got out of the Army and moved back to Rhode Island. I was pretty shook up and sad because in the month that I had gotten to know Adam I just knew that he was the guy for me. We talked on the phone quite a bit when he moved away. After not seeing each other for a month Adam hopped out on a plane to see me. We stayed at the River View Inn in Clarksville, TN. He was only there for 3 days and by the end of the short trip we both decided that I would be moving to Rhode Island very soon.

About 3 weeks went by since I had seen Adam. My heart hurt and I didn't think I would be moving out there or even see him again. Thoughts crept in that maybe he was just a summer fling. That was until one day my best friend Ambur found out she was pregnant. I don't know why but that freaked me out because we had always had the same time of the month. So I took a pregnancy test not expecting it to be positive. I was wrong. It was very positive.

It really threw me and Adam for a loop because we had only known each other for about 2 1/2 months. I was still going through my divorce and we lived miles and miles away from each other. We knew that we could make this work because we really did love each other. So I packed my little car up with as much stuff as I could and drove from Tennessee to Rhode Island all by myself.

Christmas 07

So here we are a little over two years later. It wasn't always pretty but our love has made it through everything so far. We aren't married and we like it that way for now. I couldn't imagine not having Adam in my life. For quite some time I was really unhappy and hurting on the inside. Now I feel nothing but joy and love.

I love you, babe.

Desert Island

I was watching the news this morning and everyday they ask a question and viewers send in their emails. Todays question was absolutely ridiculous to me. It was 'Would you rather be stranded with your pet or your significant other on a desert island?'. That to me seems like a no brainer. Given those options I would obviously pick Adam over BooBoo anyday. They both get on my nerves really bad but atleast one of them can actually talk to me back. I talk way too much to be stranded with someone who can only say bark. Of course, I love Adam, too. We could make tree houses and spear fish. That would be wicked. Anyway, Would you be surprised to know that more than 2/3 of Americans would pick their pet over their significant other?

If I actually got the choice to pick WHOEVER/WHATEVER I wanted to bring to a deserted island my first pick would be Gage given that this island has plenty of food and already built shelter. If it didn't then I would want to leave little man with my mom where he was safe.

Sunday Time Together

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. We are so busy during the week with both of us working. Neither me or Adam work on Sundays. We can just relax and be a family together on this day. It was a fun day. I love my boys. I'm thankful for my Sundays.

Note: Don't worry about all the overgrown weeds in the back of the picture. I think I just mentioned that we are busy people. Fall/winter is coming so they will die soon, anyway.

Date Night&Search It Up

Last night, me and Adam, somehow managed to slip away for a date night. I really needed some alone time. I actually need alone time just with myself but I will take what I can get. Alone time with Adam means riding in the truck. Its a two seater truck so that means little man can't ride in it. I use to think the truck was useless if we ALL couldn't use it. Now when I get in the truck I feel so happy and relaxed. I know that I won't have anyone screaming "NO" and trying to pull my hair behind me. I love truck time.

On our little date we made a stop at Cold Stone Creamery for some delicious ice cream. I had a little Cookie Doughn't You Want Some. I love cookie dough. I don't ever switch up my ice creams. After ice cream we made our way to the movies. We saw Pineapple Express. The theater was full of high schoolers and at first I felt out of place but then Adam reminded me that we could smoke all those kids under the table. We aren't stoners, by the way. Our bowls are collecting dust in the back of a closet somewhere. Anyway, it was a funny movie! I laughed through the whole thing. Awesome. Seth Rogen is hilarious. I love all of his movies.

In other news, I leave in 4 days to go visit my mom in KY/TN. She lives in Fort Knox, KY right now. That is near Louisville, Ky. We haven't ventured out much when we visit her so we have no clue what to do for a week with 2 kids. If anyone has ever been there or around and has ideas on what to do? Maybe if you are bored and want to google? We are going to have 2 kiddo's with us(little man(1) and my neice(3)). I think I have TN part covered considering I'm from there.

The Dark Side

A conversation between a tomato hater(thats me!) and her ex side kick(thats Adam!).

Adam: I stopped at Panera Bread. I had the best sandwich ever.
Me: Oh yeah, what kind?
Adam: Chipotle Chicken.
Me: Neato.
[long pause]
Adam: I even left the tomatoes on.
Me: No!
Me: You are crossing over to the dark side!
Adam: Well, it did come with three! I took one off!
Me: I can't believe you.
Adam: I was really hungry.

Apparently, taking one off made the situation better. I don't think so, buddy. You are a traitor in my book. Adam has always been my faithful tomato hating partner. When we go places we both chant happily "No tomatoes, please!". When restaurants mess up and put tomatoes on our tomato free food, we were both there for each other and understood. When we would forget to ask to leave them off we both knew the other person would have our back. At family get togethers everyone knows to make things without tomatoes because we hate them. I feel like I'm being abandoned. I don't want him to crossover. I will be alone in my tomato hating world.

Who will be my side kick now?

Better Together

"Its always better when we're together
Look at the stars when we're together" - Jack Johnson

Last night was amazing. We put the little man to bed around 8pm. We had a nice bucket full of ice with our drinks in it. The tiki torches were blazing. The firewood was cut. The chairs were close together. Last but not least the chimnea was lit. We sat out there for hours just listening to my ipod, drinking, and talking about everything.
