It's been 1 year

One year ago today, I found out that I lost my baby. I’ve wanted to write something about this day for a week now, and could never find the right time to do it. It has been the craziest year so many ups and downs, but more ups for sure! God has been working on me from that day. As I am writing this, I am really not that sad. I wonder if it’s just because I do have another baby on the way, if I didn’t would I feel sad? Who knows, but what I do know is this has been one of the best years of my life. I have grown so much and have learned a little bit more about who I am.

I am nervous right now…on my year anniversary, I have my 15 week appointment with the same doctor who gave me the horrible news last year. I think everything will be fine, but I thought that the last time too. Please just pray that the baby is healthy and that I am ok. I will update you all on the appointment later tonight after Lifegroup! Love ya’ll!

Edmond Parade

So the Edmond parade is like no other...at least I think so. We've gone to the parade since I was a little girl, now I drag my sweet husband there just so he can see our little girl enjoy what I did and do. Most years it's so stinking hot that we only stay for an hour or so, but this year the temps were perfect we stayed till the very end. I don't really have much to say about the actual parade, other than there needs to be more floats, I like to see floats.

There was one "float" that will forever stay in my heart. You know how all the "important" people get to ride in the fancy cars as their float, well there was one that made my day. All of my bosses (city council, mayor) came through first and then Casey's old "boss" President Webb came through on his car of choice. Casey waved at him and in that moment P.Webb saw him and pointed straight at him and said "We are going to miss you man". Really? did he just say that in front of thousands of people. If I'm lying I'm dying...I cried. I mean big tears were rolling down my face. I still get teary-eyed just thinking about that, here was the Big man on campus calling out to MY husband that "we" as in UCO will miss him. Now if that doesn't slap you in the face what will. That right there proved to me and Casey that he made an impact on campus. The next person to fill Casey's position has a lot to live up to...never will anyone be able to FILL his shoes but they can sure try. I really wish UCO the best of luck in all they do. As one of Casey's fellow co-workers said to him "You are a Broncho for life" I know that is true. From the first time Casey stepped foot on UCO's campus he knew he was a lifer. I, Jessica Moore, am married to one of the most well respected men on the campus of UCO, and all I have to say is watch out world because God has him on fire and he is ready for you! I love you Casey with all my heart and I just know that you are going to do great things whatever they may be.

Remember I will ALWAYS be right there beside you cheering you on :)

Summertime!

Just wanted to post some pics of our fantastic summer so far. We've been having a lot fun, especially on the times that are under 90. I don't know about you but as far as the temps this was the best 4th of July evah! I love that it rained, I love that I didn't sweat to death at the Edmond Parade, I love that I got to take a 2 hour nap with Briley, I love that most of my family showed up at my parents house, I love all the stories that come up when we are all together, I absolutely loved the fireworks show that everyone in my parents neighborhood (except us) put on. Great time was had by all, and Briley got over her fear of Fireworks :)

Briley has decided that she "needs" to pose in every picture. I don't know where she got that from, but it sure is cute!

Just me and my new haircut.

Trying to ride her bicycle...she doesn't really get it yet, she likes to push backwards.

Yes honey, I am still watching...or is this a pose on the bike. I'll go with the first thought.

She had a nasty chocolate stash, from a brownie at CiCi's.

This man, I love

Briley and her daddy showing some American spirit, and Boomer had to get in on the action.

The cake my other talented cousin Sarah made.

My beautiful Mother and that's my Great Grandma "Trey" in the white. She's 90 and still can give me a run for my money!

This is her serious Cheerleader pose
