How could my love for you grow any more?! We finally got to see you… and while walking to the back from the front waiting area, I heard your dad tell the receptionist “I’ve been waiting all day for this”.

After a lot of patience, you came across the screen. I couldnt wrap my brain around you. You are there, inside my belly… and your heart, like butterfly wings, was fluttering and glowing. 

I love you so, my little one.

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time your mom met your dad.

  Your dad and I had mutual friends but never really knew each other. We would chat via text, myspace (it was a social media site) and phone calls into the wee hours of the morning. You see, in the beginning I lived in Tulsa and your dad lived in Plano.

He would stay up until 2-3 in the morning, knowing he had to be back up at 7, just to talk to me. I worked overnight at a hotel in Tulsa, so these were regular hours for me. We had a lot in common, cars, the subculture we love, music, movies and morals.

After trying to get me on a date for a year, I finally agreed on a warm May afternoon. We met halfway and dad drove me back to Plano. We had a blast and later that night, your dad asked me to move in with him. Crazy! I said no! Then one week later, moved in with your dad. We've been together every since.

"Dating" for a little over a year evolved into an surprise proposal on Halloween. Dad carved a pumpkin and asked me to marry him after a concert. We then traveled down south and got married in New Orleans.

This June we will have been together for 10 years! When you know you're in love, you just know it.

On Fathers Day, we told you MeMaw and Poppop that you were coming! 

“Dear Memaw, I’m coming to you see. Love, Your Moonpie.” 

She always joked that if she had a grandchild, it would be her little Moonpie. 

They were over the moon with the news. Like I’ve said before sweet little bean, you are so so loved

Your Dad

This guy, his name is Garrett but you'll know him as dad. I am completely in awe of how in love with you he already is.

He was born, raised and went to school in Tulsa, OK. (Where this photo was taken. You'll learn about your Okie roots and the great food there I promise).

He is an incredible artist and an incredible person. Like no other in the world. I know you will learn a lot from him, especially about cars, music, British comedy, art and I'm 99% sure you will inherit his sarcastic sense of humor. 

You were always just a twinkle in his eye… and the moment I told him you were real, I saw him change. There were a couple of choice words that day but they were all out of love. 

Later that night, I looked up from my pizza to see tears in his eyes. He looked at me and said “I’ve always wanted to be a dad.”

Your Mom

Hi there!
 I'm your mom, also know as Tiffany. I already love love love you so much!

I was born, raised and went to school in Southern Oklahoma. It really influenced who I grew to be as a person. There are few things I love more than getting nostalgic about my childhood. Wild, crazy and free I was. I often joke that I was a free-range child. Coming from a small community helped with that.

There are so many things I want to teach you but I am especially excited to share with you my passions. I LOVE design, retro lifestyles, kitschy collections, b class horror movies and the life I live. I promise to teach you kindness, not only for your fellow man but also for all creatures.

You will learn that I have a "quirk sense of humor" as your dad says. I hope we find the same things funny!

Our house runs on humor and love. I can't wait to share that with you.

Love always, your mom.

Hi Little One

Hello Little One,

 You are the positive two lines and a flutter in my tummy. I’ve been wondering if that was you pushing me to crave pickles with weird food. The one who has encouraged me to turn into bed hours before usual… and to voice my opinion unlike anything I’ve done before. 

I just wanted to write and let you know that I am so excited for you. This world you’re going to be born into is waiting with so much love, just for you.

I can’t wait to start this journey.

Love, 

Your mom
