I'm Kristen | The Blog

Here you may find the latest stories I've had the joy to compile. There is a lot to look through -- I hope you enjoy!

Little Squares:

Great Shakes in Palm Springs: huge thumbs up (especially because they had a dairy-free shake for yours truly!) Also, TKB (The Kid Business) was outstanding. And their story is even better. Also, King's Highway at The Ace Hotel has been a slam dunk every time. *the more you know* 💫 #palmsprings #foodie #greatshakes

Gerald and ToonTown. (Their current nicknames out of dozens 🙈). #morriscrewinca #rooandlittlejo #sandiego

I'm going to miss these San Diego nights. One week left before the next leg of our life adventure! 🌅 #sandiego #seaportvillage #morriscrewinca

How can you go to The Ace and not? 😎🙈 #morriscrewinca #acehotel #palmsprings

I wonder if this will always happen in the chaos and speed of life? But so far, every time Rowdy's birthday has inched closer, without even trying, flashbacks of that week come to mind. This day, three years ago, we walked the Rio lake oooone more time. We had fajitas ooooone more time. I told him I was starting to think this baby was NEVER going to come. He tried to keep me from getting discouraged but could hardly stand his own excitement to see his first son. We talked about any other labor starter options ("We have tried everything!" 😩) It's fun that he was the one. You know? He's the one who knows because he waited too. He walked with me too. He tried to start labor too. He got excited about early contractions too. He got bummed when they stopped too. It's not just "Oh, I like your personality!" (which I do), it's also: you have DONE things with me. Together we know. And only we know what it was like to be the waiting-parents of Rowdy Neil Morris. The "shared" part of life with your person gets me. And I can't help but reflect on those conversations, and experiments, and frustrations, and uncontainable anticipation we shared together those final days. #calebwithkristen #morriscrewinca pc: @ally_michele

"He is not a 'baby.' He is daddo or Caylub." Roo doesn't approve of pet names ;) #rowdyspeaks

For Daddy-O :D

June 21, 2009

So, probably no one will watch the slideshow or read this whole post, except for my dad. And that's cool with me because that's who it's for.

Dad, you know I love you so much, but it's great to have another chance to say it. I.LOVE.YOU.
God knew what He was doing when He made you my father and I will love being your daughter.

Enjoy this slideshow I made for you :D

PS. Today begins a "7 in 7" posting week for me! Seven posts. Seven days. Guaranteed (Watch out, Billy Mays, I can guarantee a mean guarantee)
