How it all started :)

It was my senior year of highschool. I was living in Saint Anthony, Id. That year I met Jarod. I knew right then that he was my soul mate. We had met through mutual friends. In fact I'm pretty sure he had a girlfriend at the time. Me and my friends tried like hell to break them up. Eventually it worked :) I remember quite clearly the night we had our first kiss. We had snuck into a half finished house. It was dark outside and it was just us two. I remember both of us being sooo shy, which if you knew us now you'd think different. Anyways as the night progressed I finally had to ask Jarod "Are ya gonna kiss me or what?" It was pretty funny, we have brought it up a few times since then. Later down the road we moved in together. I had never even lived with a boy before. I had no idea they were so messy :) But it was fun and I loved every minute of it. So as time went by we had both made mistakes, broke up, got back together. We cried, we laughed, and even disliked one another numerous times. We had many ups and downs. For 7 years we dated on and off.

Finally on June 12th, 2010 we decided to get married. Second best day of my life. We went to Vegas and had a simple wedding with close friends and family. Wasn't quite my dream wedding, but as long as I was going to be Mrs. Jarod Nef, I didn't care!

Now the Best day of my life and and the day my life officially started was the day I became a mother. On December 14th, 2009 at about 12:20pm my beautiful little girl was brought into this world. Weighing 7lbs 2oz and 19inches in length. She was absolutely perfect! McKinley Lynn Nef had finally came to meet me. And I was in love the second I saw her.
We knew she would be here that Monday, because I was scheduled for a c-section. She had been breech the entire pregnancy. I even had them try to turn her but that was unsuccessful. Might I suggest never having a version done. It was more painful then the actual recovery process. When I found out that I would probably end up having the c-section, I remember crying. I didn't want to be cut open. I wanted to know what it was like to have contractions, to actually go through labor, I wanted to be like the rest of my girlfriends and experience that. The morning of my c-section I remember sitting in the car with Jarod out in the hospital parking lot. I was sooo nervous. I almost didn't want to go in. But finally we made it through the doors. As I lay in the hospital bed IV in and waiting patiently for the Epidural part. I began to cry. I was scared out of my mind to have that needle placed into my back. The anesthesiologist finally showed up and with just me and Jarod in the room, Jarod held me and comforted me as I lay on my side crying. I'll admit it wasn't as bad as I thought, but it sure did hurt. I remember the feeling of my legs going numb and Jarod actually pinching them to see if I could feel it. It was a crazy feeling, I'll tell you what. After a few moments they wheeled me into the operating room. The anesthesiologist poked me with a needle on my stomach and legs. That is what I was told anyway, I couldn't see there was a big blue tarp thing in front of my face. I remember the pressure of them pulling McKinley out. But that is about all I felt. I remember yelling does she have Jarod's nose over and over again. In our ultrasound pics you could see her cute little Jarod nose. I just wanted to make sure she still had the same one I guess. They didn't let me hold her. I was too drugged up to be holding any baby. But they did let me look at her. I guess after that I was wheeled into the other room. I was pretty loopy, I don't think I ever even saw that black tar poop that newborns have. They finally got her checked and brought her into my arms. It was amazing. Jarod looked so proud. It was finally over. My little girl was here!

So that is a summary of my life in a nutshell.... I'll keep you updated on our lives in the near future :)
