The baby is born!

The purpose of my trip was a bit up in the air, but a lot of it was to see Adrian and Julianna (bro/ sister in law)'s baby. Her due date was Saturday the 27th, but as we found out yesterday at 9:15 p.m. he was either scared to come out or really happy in there.

At 9 lbs. 8 oz. he didn't want to squeeze, or he wanted to stay inside and keep eating.

He is adorable and kept his eyes open for about 15 minutes so we could see him before they took him away for testing. It was awesome to see Adrian and Julianna, they seemed a bit different and really content. Adrian looked really proud.

Next time I see him wil be in December and I'm sure he (the baby (Collin? maybe?)) will look completely different.

houston life

After a comment not long ago made by my mother 'next time i see you you will be married and it will never be the same', i was shocked, struck and scared. i immediately felt like i was missing something and planned a trip back home one last time to see my family before life takes a big change.
I feel bad because Betty feels that I am ditching her, but I think it's good for the both of us to be with family alone and get that out of our systems. Also cause Betty's mom I think wants her attention away from me for a bit. A proven fact given that she told me not to call very often. I worry how much she supports the whole thing emotionally. I know she supports it financially and energetically, the poor lady is sick she's going all day long.
It has been fun home though, we got to bond together Saturday morning doing yard work, then a trip on the new boat to wakeboard in the chilly water. It was a cool feeling to all be doing something together. Late October and still in the river! Plus it's still a beautiful green jungle here.
Just two more days and hopefully baby Collin will exit Julianna's (my sister in law) womb. Her due date was Saturday(yesterday) and birthday Sunday(today). They may share, they may be one day apart, we will see.
Loving life and learning how much I miss my girl.

Let's get it started in here...

Well, I promised myself I would never be a 'facebooker' or a 'myspacer' and I can proudly say that I never gave in. I think that's why I am so out of the 'scene'. (You would think that I always talk with my hands in the air ready to do the 'bunny ears' around everything I say.) I believe now that I'm getting married in 11 days I won't be going there still. When I check my history on my computer though it will probably show many results of facebook because my lovely fiance'e still keeps it real with it. She keeps me young and fresh.
Anyways... this is posting #1, hopefully this thing turns out to be a place full of great memories as I start it 11 days before the best day of my life!
I am getting married to Betty Lopez, soon to be Betty Anne Tolman (cause she wants to add a middle name and what a better time to do so). I am so excited and have never felt the way I do.
Goodbye, so long and farewell, until soon.
