Our Story, The beginning of Camelot...

So i guess there is always a beginning. There's a beginning to every book, article, and project we start. So when thinking to myself, as I sit at the computer and stare at the white screen, "how do I even begin this 'latest hobby'", (those of you that know me, I know understand) I find my mind answering...."its easy Shae, you start in the beginning."

Thad and I are a unique story. We met, both working at the infamous dead lobster, in undergrad. We are unique because we met and married in 5-1/2 weeks.......Are you finished choking yet...Yup, you heard or sorry, read right...5-1/2 weeks. In May, it will now be 8 years. Yes, we know...we're just not normal.

We definitely don't suggest this for others. It was hard in the beginning. Not for lack of love just age and luck, but, we have held on to each other...even if it was just to get a better grip...and to this day are truly still the answer to the other ones prayers.

We made it through undergrad working full time and paying the bills week by week. Eventually it paid off. We graduated, moved to the glorious and proud state of Texas, got jobs, and began enjoying our life. Of course I must add that I had a brain lapse a year after we moved and I decided to go back to school and get my Master's. Phew. ....Like I said, brain lapse but in the end, yet again, it paid off.

After 5-1/2 years of marriage (I am beginning to see a trend with this number) we found out that there was going to be another beginning to a new adventure and the latest love of our lives, besides each other, our baby boy...Hunter Ryan. He is the light in our eyes and the warmth in our hearts...and yes, he was born with the same drooling, pooping, and snot launching capabilities that all babies seem to embrace.

Upon his arrival, we purchased our first home, regained our sanity from that madness, and continued our lives as the stinson family, plus one. Everyday is a new day and we push through it good or bad. We are loud, insanely busy and lets just face it, sometimes a hot mess, but our emotions are genuine and friendships are true.

That, my loves, I guess is the beginning of our story..our own little version of Camelot. Don't hold any of it against us and yes, we know....we're just not normal.
