Battle wounds

There are some instances when you acquire battle wounds on a daily basis from your figt against life! Those are figurative wounds! I suffer from different battle wounds... I suffer from "I have a very ACTIVE eight and a half month old" battle wounds. For example this morning I was trying to get sophi down for a nap so I could take a shower and get ready for the day. When next thing I know she screams and slams her head against my face and gives me a bloody lip!! Which started swelling and looked like I a growth sticking out of my face... not attractive.
And only a little while later did she try to claw my eyeballs out and rip the hairs from my head! Oh the joys of being a mother....

Mommy story

Ok...so I have decided that being a mom is an adventure!! But the biggest adventures are the ones you do not plan. Like walking through a grocery store with a sock sticking out of your pocket because you didnt realize you were still holding it! Or crawling on the floor holding baby wipes chasing a naked butt because your trying to change the diaper of an eight month old who doesn't want to be changed!! I never thought that would be my life! But I have imbraced it. I look forward to the moments of scrubbing puke off the carpet, and picking up everything only to have it messed up right behind you... Because I get to spend my days with the most beautiful little girl in the world!

Our Story

Matt and I met a very long time ago! we were in second grade and we hated each other from the very first moment we saw each other. through the years we tried to ignore each other and secretly harbor nasty feelings toward each other. We found out that we had a "friend" in common my cousin who i didnt like very much either...would tell me that matt hated me and in return i told my cousin that i hated matt. So.. to make a long long long story short! we started dating in tenth grade and dated all through high school. matt proposed right after graduation, and 364 days later... we were married on July 10th, 2010 in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple.

It was the best day ever! after waiting nearly a year!! :) we were able to be sealed and together for eternity!! we were drunk on happiness we enjoyed our honeymoon and marriage was amazing and then....Two weeks later we found out that i was pregnant! I had gone to the doctors at the request of my family who wanted to know why i was bloated and why my blood pressure was high and my feet were the size of baby whale. and they came back and said that i was pregnant and that i was right there at the beginning, so I needed to go see an OB/GYN as soon as i could. When i went in to the doctor the nurse told me i was going to have an ultrasound to get my exact due date....well we got my due date! it was two weeks from that date!! i was 38 weeks pregnant!! and i was having a girl!!

sooo......my sweet Sophi Ahlivia Gordon was born on August 26th 2010 she is the light of our lives and the last eight months have been quite the adventure!
