Only once will a baby be born, only once will it take a first step, and only once will we get to experience this life. So today I will slow down for moments like last night. Lily looking so tiny in the theater chair with colors of the film dancing across her face and her eye as big as moons. The movie was simple so watching her was easy, she was beautifully innocent. Her firsts are clear in my mind but it worries me they will fade. I beg myself to slow down and remember life only happens once.
Last night was her first trip to the movies and before I know it she will be on her first date to the movies and instead of me holding her hand she may be holding the hand of her first heartbreak or future husband.
Her face was glowing as she sipped her own soda and crunched popcorn. She giggled loud but she breathed quietly as she took in every second the night had to offer. I am guilty of getting caught up in the mundane rhythms of life. I need to forget once in awhile- the dishes can wait, the house will still stand messy. Take time to allow moment s in our day to mean something.
I will kiss more, hug tighter and hold longer….. so I never forget.

Once upon a time....
- Emandanthony
- Bullhead City, Arizona
- It was the summer of 2001 when Anthony and I met while working at a small Mexican restaurant called Casa Serrano’s. Shortly after realizing we had a lot in common we started dating and the rest is history! We were married in September of 2007, and we had our first child Lily in November of 2008. We welcomed our son Colin in May of 2010. Anthony works for an insurance company and is an amazing musician on the side. I am currently learning how to be mom (which is the best job I could ever ask for) also I keep my father in line by managing his business office from home. We are fortunate to live close to both of our family so we spend most of our free time having big family get-togethers. We are living a truly blessed life with our amazing children who have brought us complete happiness.
