Our New Home

I have so much to talk about, a lot has happened since the last time I updated the blog, Naveen turned one and then two, I started a blog post for his first birthday and got completely side tracked, I honestly don’t know what happened.

Anyway here is the piece of blog from his first birthday.

The day is finally here, I was up at 3:00 am writing this, the same time my water ruptured, it’s so strange the difference in the days. One was to bring a life into the world the other is insomnia while celebrating the life that was brought into the world. My mind has been zooming for five days it seems, always worrying, thinking, wondering, hoping, not about the birthday gifts since I got those weeks ago, more about the cupcakes and if they will be good and how I’ll make it through this day.

My baby is 1 year old, my itty bitty baby that I was still in shock about the fact that I was having one. Mama is just sitting here in the dark watching all the pictures of her little boska wondering where the time went, remembering how tiny you were, how precious your face was, it’s still precious but now I know that you are a little imp who only looks for Mama when something goes wrong.

There’s a baby in there! – 2014

Seems like….I was going to say “a year ago that I wrote that” and it was a year ago, epic fail huh!

Anyway, this update is to say that we are finally in France with Papa and have been here almost three months, can you believe that? Last time I wrote in here I was stressing and wondering if we would ever make it to France and now we’ve been here for almost three months. The journey here was not easy, it was not easy at all. It included plans gone awry, worry about being able to pay for tickets, people backing out of taking the journey with us, a trip to Canada and Florida in the US, it was wild and I’ll probably go into it at a later date.

For now I just want to say we are here and enjoying it so far!

Now I will go into detail a little bit of how our trip went. We flew out of St. Croix to Miami, my mother, youngest brother, myself and Naveen. Naveen was completely wiped out when we landed, this was only his second trip so it’s understandable.

We met up with my cousins Ellis and Joshua and also my middle brother Lucas and his girlfriend. We took the day to do some adventuring and let Naveen experience a bit of Florida. We wanted to go to the Flesh-Eating museum but it was closed, unfortunately, one day maybe.

My uncle and aunt met up with us as well and we walked around a bit and for our last day we had dinner at an Asian restaurant with all my aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was a nice family get together.

We were off to Philadelphia for our layover to Montreal, the airport has a little play area that occupied Naveen for a while so that he wouldn’t be bored while waiting for our plane.

It was finally time for us to fly over to Quebec and meet up with Marvin, I honestly can’t describe my feelings that day, I mean it had been a year and some months since we had seen each other, I missed him of course but I was dealing with a whole lot of emotions from my pregnancy and having to be single parent for a while. Looking back on it I can see where I was not in touch with my emotions and treated him in a way he didn’t deserve. I knew if he could have he would have been back to the Island.

Seeing my son and husband together again was the best feeling.
