The Secret to my Success.

I have had several people ask me how I am juggling all of my current responsibilities so well. Fellow mothers shake their head in bewilderment, and my law school peers drop their jaws when they find out I'm a mommy of two babies. Everyone seems to be so shocked that I'm holding it all together. So, I guess It's time to reveal my cards. The jig is up, here is the secret to my success.



Jeremy Stogner
How do I love thee, let me count the ways...........................................

* Our beautiful children.
* You give so much and ask for so little.
* You have believed in me and supported me from day one.
* You work so hard to provide everything we need and want.
* The way you look at Milania and melt.
* Your height, your physique, I could go on but you get the idea ;)
* The way you hold me when I cry.
* How you took care of my mother in her last days of life.
* How you still look after and care for my father as if he is your own.
* You hold my feet to the fire when I am contradicting myself.
* You don't let me use my "lawyering skills" on you.
* How adventurous you are, you always have been so spontaneous and I love that.
* You randomly bring home flowers "just because".
* You still made me feel attractive even when I was 39 weeks pregnant and huge.
* You don't give a damn what anyone thinks.
* You are wise enough to let small things go, even when I am not.
* You put your foot down on really important things and refuse to budge.
* You push me to stand up for myself even when I'm afraid too.
* I love that you clean out my car for me.
* Every time I get in the car after you, it is always on the Christian radio channel.
* I love it that after you take the trash out you forget to put another bag in. :)
* Deep down inside you are just a little boy who wants to play in the dirt.
* I love your mind. :) You are so intelligent and always looking to better yourself.
* You make "nerdy chic" look good!
* I love that you are into in my law school stuff even though it isn't "your thing"
* I love that your socks never match and that you like to do the dishes.

Really I could go on and on and on and I'm sure any readers of this blog are on the verge of upchuck so I'll finish by saying this, you are amazing and I can't imagine where I'd be without you.

I love you,

Stogner Update

I realize it has been quite a while since I have updated my blog. So much has happened lately I'm not really sure where to begin. So, Ill start with the kids......

My lastest clone Milania is doing spectacular! She started sleeping through the night at three weeks old and hasn't looked back. She is the lovliest little thing I have ever laid eyes on. I'm not just saying that because she looks like me, well maybe a little.... :D
Her hair is a light golden brown and her eyes are a steel grey/blue. Her complexion is rosy and she loves to grin, laugh, and snuggle. I don't think I could have asked for a sweeter baby. She is truly a blessing.



Eian is your typical almost three year old. He has mastered the cupid shuffle and created his own dance version of "ice ice baby."
"I do it" is now a staple phrase in our household. He likes to run, scream, jump, whisper secrets, and ride bicycles. He is expecially fond of the attachment Jeremy bought to put on my bike. It allows him to ride tandem with me on the front of the bike and "go fast".





Today we took him to the Science Museum for the first time in a year or so and he ran Jeremy and I completely ragged roaming through the caves. We learned about soundwaves, aerodynamics, oh... and gravity the hard way with a couple of falls. :D

I am currently planning his third birthday which will take place in early November. Expect it to be completely rediculous and over the top. Hea, how many times do you turn 3? I also have it on good authority that a very special guest will be making an appearance. Be looking for your invitation mid Oct.

So, on to the serious stuff. Law school is rough but not impossible. The hardest part thus far is the commute. All in all it is about a 2 1/2 hour round trip for me to attend each class. The subject matter is difficult but interesting. My classmates are dynamic and come from very different backgrounds, this makes for a interesting mix of personalities. So far, there has not been a real "debate" break out in class. However, I feel that the nice guy acts will not hold out for long. I'm looking forward to seeing the masks come off and who the bulldogs are going to be.

Jeremy is really making all of my friends husbands look bad! He is superdad/ hubby through the week and is still holding down a full time job on the weekends..... oh and in his spare time he is fully planning his retirement which he intends on taking in approximately three years.
(When I start making the big bucks)
Of course we have our ups and downs, all marriages do. But, I can safely say I still consider him my best friend, greatest ally, and the best thing to ever happen to me.

Ok family, friends, fans, and all my stalkers.....
I love ya!

Until next time.
