About Me

Demetrius and I were married in June of 2000. Our love grows stronger every day. We are the perfect match and definitely soulmates. After several years of trying and with many prayers from ourselves and our family and friends, our hope for becoming parents became reality. God blessed us with the most beautiful miracle, our son,Jonah Sunil Rhodes. And here's our happily ever after...

Welcome Baby Jonah!!

Well, I just finished reading my last blog entry and I can't believe that since then my life has changed so much (and that was only a month ago). How crazy life is!!! The day after I posted that blog, my water broke and we were off to the hospital (going as a couple and returning as a threesome!!) It's been 5 weeks since Jan. 30 and I am sitting on cloud nine ever since. I can't say it's all been easy. Taking care of a newborn is exactly how every one describes it...stressful, consuming, tiring, and yet the most fulfilling thing ever!!! My time is definitely not "my time" anymore...but I don't care. I wouldn't have it any other way. It's amazing how you can love someone so much so quickly. I just look at his little face and I melt like butter...can all the other moms relate??

On another happy note, Demetrius found a new job a week after Jonah's birth. It's not the ideal position but it's something for now...and in these times, we're grateful for that much. We're staying in Tyler and that makes me very happy. This is home...and I don't want to leave. It would be wonderful to have family near by to help with babysitting and just to see Jonah grow up...but we've made it work this long. I'm sure the hour and a half drive from Dallas won't start bothering us now.

My free time is very limited (in fact I hear him now waking up from a short nap) but I had to sit down and update my blog...just to let every one out there know that things are going well.
