Ten Months




Hello My Tiny Best Friend, 

 Well here I sit looking back on month ten with you just two days prior to writing your eleven month post. Maybe its a form of denial, maybe we are just to busy all the time, or maybe mama just hasn't had those writing juices flowing in a while. No matter the reason I need to get these words down before they are lost down the rabbit hole and forever forgotten. 
This month we celebrated your monthly birthday in Albuquerque in the middle of our week long stay with GG so daddy could handle somethings at the VA. Our trip to Albuquerque seemed to gain excitement as soon as you turned ten months with our first visit to the ER after you knocked your head on GG's counter while taking a sink bath. You were fine, mama was not. Two weeks later we were back in the ER because you had a virus and needed an IV. Once again you took it like a champ, mama did not. I believe I cried equally as much as you did. My heart has never broken as much as it did that night watching you be poked and prodded, you are so little and everything they were using was so big.
The month continued and we traveled around, as always, and went up to Wyoming to see Uncle Tyler and Aunt Mickala and play with your cousins. Then came the big trip, you and mama set out on our own great adventure Ellie girl. We packed our backs and headed out to Memphis to visit Aunt Katie. It was so much fun to wonder around Memphis with two of my favorite people in one of my favorite cities. We went through Elvis's Graceland, a favorite of mama's and we saw the ducks at the Peabody. We ate great food and had lots and lots of laughs. It is a trip I will cherish forever. Though we had a blast, you were so happy to be home to daddy! 
Last month was big for mobility, this month was big for sound! You learned how to to pat your mouth and make noises come out which made me so happy! I have been trying to get you to play with me since you were born so this was big! You love to click your tongue and think it is just the best thing ever! You have figured out how to army crawl from the living room to the kitchen and spend most of your time trying to get into Chuck's water. You know how to pull yourself up in your crib, which makes getting you to nap a little difficult. You smile all the time and you have still yet to meet a stranger. Oh yeah, you spoke... You said Mama this month! 





 Eloise, you are our world.

 I'll love you forever, 

 Mama

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...
