My Towie Lemon

So her name is not Towie Lemon it is Korie Lynn but my boy used to call her that. I met Korie at the bus stop the first day of 7th grade, she was wearing a denim hat and her smiled warmed me right away. She lived around the corner for me and we never met until that first day of Junior High. We sure had our ups and downs that first year...she has a different story then I do but as a reference please refer to my journal from November 1988 to June 1989. I bet you didn't keep a journal did you Kor? Wow those were the days but notice how I did not say good ole days? We have those now with our annual trips to Vegas,(please see pictures below from our Sept 07 trip for Korie's 30th Birthday) except for this year when Korie decided to have a baby instead. Which brings us to todays post...She is here Korie's daughter #3 the girl who's name we will not mention because she does not have one yet. Let's just call her "she" was born at exactly 4:00pm today weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and 19 and 3/4 inches long. And "she" was a piece of cake. And Korie has no voice right now, so it is great trying to hear all the good news through a whisper.
And since I do not know that much about "she" right now, I am going to make Korie take the spotlight...Korie is an AMAZING woman, I have witnessed many wonderful things transpire through her, her baptism day ( which I cried no I think I bawled through) Sending Nathan on a mission, retrieving Nathan from his mission and sneaking a little kiss, hey she deserved it for being such a dedicated girlfriend. To getting the phone call a few days before Christmas to tell me they were getting married ( I was so surprised lol) to sitting next to her man the day they got sealed for Time and all Eternity, even after being stuck in LA traffic for two hours and the whole time I was so worried that Korie was totally sick with Anxiety of missing her own wedding. To my surprise she must have had some calming angels by her side because I think I was worse than her. And I even got to ride home with them from the Temple...awkward I know because I was the one trying to secretly keep them from making a quick stop some where. ( No need for extra details there) They Were good ;)
I have always told Korie she was a much better example for me than I ever was to her, she is an AWESOME Mom and a great Friend but she is more than that to me...a word cannot describe what my Korie is to me, she is my partner as a Food Critic, no one else can describe food the way we do, and I know our Husbands with countless rolling of the eyes still do not get us. And they never will. I could go on and on...but I just wanted her to know how much I truly love her and I am trying not to feel sad with never seeing her live while pregnant and not knowing when I will meet "she " in person. There is only so much a blog can do, but it will never take the place of a hearing the laughter. I guess the web cam will have to be the next best thing. I love ya ! And I do love Nathan too for putting up with you. He is a true man to be able to sleep next to the anti poker. I am sure he knows what I mean. I think only I can say that and get away with that. Love ya always and forever, can't wait to see "she" and you and the girls on the web cam. Hope you enjoy these first 24 hours with "she" it is my favorite thing about having a baby, is staring always staring at the gift that you just gave life to. ENJOY!
