With September 11, 2001 now 10 years behind us all...do you remember that day? Did you promise yourself anything? Did you promise you'd do more for your family, with your family or friends? Did you promise ANYTHING to/for anyone or anything??
Well....have any of you kept any of those promises?
I know I at least kept one. To be true to myself and not hold back on how I feel, because you never know when it will be the last time you see or communicate with someone. Life is truly too short.
What about you? Have you thought of that?
I know I made many other promises, but they were based on the situation I was in at the time. Therefore, those are NULL and VOID!
My life in comparison to 10 years ago are literally night and day. I'm married to a man I'm looking forward to growing old with and we have a home and two beautiful children. I never thought I'd make it here. So glad I found my way.

A long time coming update
April
Well, I had Camryn Alexandra on Wednesday, April 15th at 11:32am, she was 8lbs 2oz and 20 3/4 inches long. We are so blessed. When she was born all we saw where her chubby cheeks and blonde hair.
Camryn came home 4 days later. We were so relieved to have our whole family at home. We were greeted by, My mom, Aunt Karen, My dad, Diane, Josie, Justin and our dog Glinda. It was such a great day. Sleeping while baby sleeps is a GREAT thing even if it's only a few hours at a time.
May
Her 1 month appointment went fantastic, she moved up to almost 10lbs. (if I'm remembering that correctly). She's getting long, very quickly.
Dave and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary, we got our gift cake from Charm City cakes. It was an official anniversary puck cake. It was so GREAT and it tasted great too. We didn't go out anywhere (I wasn't ready for that yet), so we decided to celebrate next month with my birthday.
June
Camryn's 2 month appointment brought many emotions. She received her first shots and I cried more than she did. She only got a small low grade fever as a resul. That was also the first night that Camryn slept through the night...YAAAAAAY!! Viva Le Tylenol!
I went back to my Dr for a check up and we both agreed that I was suffering from a very bad case of postpartum depression and put me on Zoloft to help me. (Thank goodness).
My birthday celebration was so nice...we had dinner at the Melting Pot! I had my first alcoholic beverage since before getting pregnant, and boy was I a light weight. HAHAHAHA!
July
Baby girl is still growing like crazy, we are making arrangements for her christening which is being scheduled for August 8th. Chris and Karin have both agreed to be the God Parents. Yaaaa!!
I have started back to work, and I was blessed with the ability to take Camryn to work with me. It was certainly difficult but it was so nice always having her near me. I've missed being out and about, and I finally got over my fear of driving with the baby, by myself.
August
She got christened by Father Paul at St. Ann's Catholic Church on Saturday August 8th. Our family was there and we had a HUGE party afterwards at our house. EVERYONE we invited came out. WOW, we had a full house. But Camryn slept right through the entire party, such a big day for her.
September
We got to go on our first road trip as a family, a 10 hour car ride to Hilton Head, SC for her first vacation. We stopped nursing during the trip, she weened herself off, which made that easy for me (sort of). We had a blast though. Hubby's parents got to babysit Camryn a few times and gave hubby and I some alone and relaxation time. Ahhhhhhhhh. She also had her first experience in the pool, and she LOVED it!! Yippee! We got to eat at Robert Levine's restaurant called "EAT". It was sooooooooo great. yumm yumm and we also got to meet him too, that was so fun. Great trip.
She is also getting much more aware and needed to have more attention than I could provide during the day at work. So we started her at the Child Development Center (CDC). Her teacher Ms. Jennifer is so fantastic and the school is so nice. I'm so happy that we got her into a place like that. The CDC has a GREAT reputation and besides many of our neighbors currently have or previously have taken their kids there too. She's learning socialization and everything. It's so awesome to see her becoming more aware each day.
October
Well she turned 6 months old...a LOT has happened. She's moved into the nursery and doing well (as for me, I'm adjusting to it). And she is now 18.2 lbs and 27 3/4 inches long....my big girl. She also got her seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccine and has done just fine. She's already in 9 month clothing because she's so long. But... she LOVES school. She has a best friend and her name is Noa (pronounced like the boys name Noah). She's the oldest one in her class too by 10 days.
She has started solid foods as well. Only one meal a day (evening solid meal) but always with her formula. She's a good eater.
On the 27th she spiked a fever at school of 103.4 and we took her to the pediatrician. They said to keep an eye on her to make sure it wasn't the flu, but they think it might've been teething. And they were right. 5 days later, she got her first tooth.
Her first Halloween came, and she was Sleeping Beauty. She was so pretty and she really enjoyed seeing all of the other kids and being in the parade too. Lots to see and I loved being a part of it all too.
November
Camryn got her first tooth...lower right front tooth. It's sharp..LOL
Well Hubby got a birthday surprise (we got him suite tickets to a Capitals game) and because of that we were able to take Camryn to her first NHL Washington Capitals hockey game. She loved all of the action to watch. So much to see. She only got startled a few times by the goal horn but she was just fine.
She is now up to 2 solid meals in a day, breakfast and dinner. Depending on how she tolerates it, sometimes we leave off the breakfast if she's had a rough digestive day before and just give her only formula to get her body back on track. Boy when she's hungry she becomes a little bird and keeps that mouth open waiting for it...it's so cute. She likes her high chair too.
Hubby and I had our first overnight AWAY from Camryn. It was rather nerve racking at first but we had fun going to New Jersey to watch the Capitals play the Devils. We went on the Caps Road Crew (CRC) trip. It was a BLAST!! would've been better had they won...but oh well. The trip was fun regardless.
We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. We are celebrating at my mom's house this year.
That is where we are now...and I know I've left a LOT off...but with time it will all be discussed on here, no doubt.

So excited
Well, we have now arrived at the eve of our Ace of Cakes Episode, titled "Lord Stanley".
The Washington Capitals have posted a video preview of the episode on their website. www.washingtoncaps.com
It's located on the upper right hand corner.
The great hockey blog site On Frozen Blog (www.onfrozenblog.com) has put up a little article about our episode as well.
I've been playing a lot of catch up at work since taking off work to care for my hubby, while and after he got out of the hospital.
We've reached the point of the summer where we are in a true lull of the post-hockey season. But with training camp looming around the corner there is hope yet. The newer players are buying homes in this area (and wow are they big, yes we've seen a few of them), and a few already live here (Ovie, Johnson, Gordon, Green and a few others).
I'll be all over the place tomorrow and will make it home in time to see the episode.
Don't forget if you haven't signed up yet...register and log on to The NHL Arena and "Rattle the Boards" (www.thenhlarena.com). No matter what hockey team you support, One Arena for All Fans!

MAJOR, Major update
I know I've not done an update in quite a while. But there was a true and honest to god, good reason. Flipper was admitted to the hospital. And was there for 6 days. He was finally diagnosed after 2 days in the hospital with double pneumonia in BOTH lungs. He was VERY VERY sick. His fevers ranged from 102.5 to 99.5, needless to say sitting back and nothing being able to help is just an awful feeling. The doctors originally thought he was having gallbladder and/or appendix issues due to the pain in his abdomen. But when he started to complain of the feeling like there was an elephant on his chest they automatically looked at his lungs and such. And found the inflamation and swelling in his lungs and the fact that both of them were not inflating fully due to stuff in there and causing him a lot of pain just to take a normal breath. He was immediately put on oxygen to keep his o2 levels at a normal range and was able to come off of it the day before he was discharged. He was getting breathing treatments every 4 hours with a nebulizer to help open up his lungs and it worked beautifully. After 5 days of a lot of major IV medications; antibiotics (4 different high spectrum ones), pain medication, anti-nausea meds, steriods, etc. He was put on normal pill medication and a normal diet to get his body back on a normal schedule.
While he was in the hospital we both decided that it was unfair to Glinda for keeping her home alone and not spending very much time with her. So I took her to her favorite place "WOOFS" for 5 days. They were so nice and told me not to worry a bit. I must admit it was a relief off my shoulders not having to worry about her and making sure she was entertained and played with enough.
He's now home..and getting stronger each day. He's resting well and I've got him out of the house a few times. And we're testing things out. His vertigo is still around, but only here and there. So we are taking things easy for now too. Keeping a low profile this weekend and a bit of a relaxing, olympic watching weekend.
When I brought Flipper home his only request other than picking up his medicine was picking up Glinda. Cuz he said he missed her. So I did just that. Glinda was so happy to see us both and equally happy to sleep on the bed during the day and keep her daddy company.
knowing that he's alright and home, I've finally been able to relax a little. But there comes the bad part for me. My back has caught up with me and it now telling me that I've done too much and I must slow down and spend some time laying down (which I've still been fighting) and time on the heating pad. I've been taking some little time resting and such but keeping up with cooking and also doing the best I can in keeping up with cleaning.
Today we've opened the windows to the main level of the house. It's really niiiiiiiiiiice today. We've got some fans circulating air. It's a nice day.
I think that's enough for now. I'm sure I'll update more later. I hope you are all having a great weekend.
P.S...I'm laughing at Men's Badmitton Doubles...dude..the audience has thundersticks??? WTF..LMAO!! Flipper is joking that it's a bloodsport...LMAO.

Ramblings from Tuesday
Well this morning had it's moments for sure......normal office stuff.
I've been trying to be more attentive with what's going on with me lately, especially with all of the headaches too. I laugh because ever since I have been doing a headache diary...I've not had any migraines to write about...LOL. Go figure. But you know...as soon as I post this...watch me have one today. (but I really hope I don't)
Going out to dinner with a friend tonight. Not sure where yet, we've narrowed it down to a few places but I'm going to leave the time up to her. Her work hours are much more constrained than mine are. It's gonna be nice to be able to sit with her and talk a bit. I've been so busy lately, I've not been able to do that with hardly anyone. Now is the time to play catch up with mostly friends and a few family members.

Bringing you Up to Speed and My Big Fat Hockey Themed Wedding
Wow...I didn't realize until I looked at everything that I realized it has been since the beginning of April and it's now June...which means.....I'm MARRIED!!!
Yep SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much has happened literally since I last posted.Now I'm going to get it all up to speed.
April...Well the Washington Capitals really had on helluva run and unfortunately didn't make it past the first round of the playoffs, but seeing the first round go all the way to a game 7 was impressive by all standards. The Capitals had a GREAT season this year and grew by leaps and bounds. With the sheer amount of UFA's that we had and such it will prove to be a very interesing post season. I know that Olie Kolzig will NEVER wear a Capitals uniform again and that makes me EXTREMELY upset...he will always be my favorite all-time Capitals Player. "The Power of Kolzig will Always Compel Me". But with the Caps season over...more of my focus went to the final planing of my Big Fat Hockey Themed Wedding.
When May finally showed up...everything got REALLY busy. The first weekend of May brought a huge birthday party for my great friend Peg. It was a Hawaiian themed party that was awesome. GREAT sun and surf cake, really yummy.The following weekend the 10th was the Bachelorette weekend. My girls picked me up about 10am took me to two different vineyards, at the first one we had a chocolate and wine paring and at the second one we just had a normal full wine tasting. Then we all went and had 4 full courses at the MELTING POT...mmmmm mmmm yummy cheese and chocolatey goodness. it was such a GREAT day.
Then with a week left to go before wedding and lemme tell ya, without Kirsten (wedding day coordinator) I would've completely lost my mind. I almost did a few times but thanks goodness I didn't.The rehearsal went really quickly and was just a physical walk through so everyone knew where to stand and go on the day of. The rehearsal dinner was held at Kettler Capitals Iceplex (yep that's the Capitals Practice Facility), we had a suckling pig and a mobile sushi station with a moderated open beverage station. We got to watch everything from speed skating, broom ball to hockey. A few handfuls of interviews from the Capitals Film crew were on hand to interview family, friends and us. Many spirits were consumed and then they had to separate the bride and groom for the night. (which was much harder than I thought it would be)
But the morning of the wedding was fun. Got up..my sister, friend Christy and her daughter had stayed over then night before and helped keep me centered and focused (as much as they could) but let me tell ya I had one monster case of butterflies that morning. My stylist came to my house and did all of our hair... I did about 90% of my make up and let my stylist finish off the fine details and I looked GREAT. The car arrived around noon and Kim rode with me in the sedan up to the Knight of Columbus hall where we got dressed. But when we got there Duff Goldman from Charm City Cakes was there setting up the cake and had the food network film crew there as well. I got to meet him and he told me that the NHL brought the actual Stanley Cup to their bakery so that they could get an accurate comparison in making our cake. Isn't that just KICK ASS?? And he took a picture with us and everything but had to go because he had to go set up another cake at another party. He wish he could've stayed, but he couldn't. I got dressed and put the finishing touches on me and my girls.
My father arrived and then it became REAL. The weather was soooooooooo beautiful and sunny and perfect temp too. We walked across the street and then I could hear the music coming from the church...it was perfect. I made my procession and at the aisle was the man I love waiting for me. Beautiful service and we were both able to keep it together and not cry (but it was hard). I felt so pretty and he looked so handsome. Then it was done.
And it was TIME TO PARTY.....After many pictures and stuff...we had our GRAND Entrance into the reception with the BIG Cake reveal. We all put hockey jerseys over our wedding clothes and our attendants got hockey sticks and we were announced in by Wes Johnson (PA announcer for the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center) and we went in under an archway of hockey sticks. It was fun. Then the Cake...OMG that amazing cake. The food network had their cameras right on us for our first reaction and when the flag was lifted...it was INCREDIBLE. OMG a more than full size replica of the Stanley Cup with the entire wedding party listed on the cake. Such a great cake and it tasted good too.If you want to see candid photos (from the disposable cameras) private message me directly and I'll send you the link.It was such a great time and we were overwhelmed by guest and generous gifts. We left the Monday after for two islands of Hawaii and we spend a wonderful 10 days between Oahu and Maui.We were able to see Pearl Harbour, snorkling in Molokini and we made it through the Road to Hana and back. Beautiful weather, glorious sites a trip to always remember.Now we're back to the grind. And getting back to the swing of things.But I still can't stop smiling. Life is truly good.
