<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello friends,it's been a while! To be honest when I first started The Pink Tourist back in 2013, I dreamed of turning it into a full-fledged travel blog. That didn’t happen. After a very surprised marriage proposal on Christmas day the same year, then buying our home 10 months later, on Halloween, is the day we actually closed on the house! A beautiful wedding followed on 12.13.14 and we found out 6 months later I was pregnant. We’ve been a little too busy to think of doing any leisure travel. Fast forward to today, we have a beautiful, very spunky 4 year old and are enjoying life. Time just gets the best of you. Now to talk about the here and now, if you would have told me over 6 weeks ago it would have been my last day working at my office manager job and now home being home watching what's happening to our beautiful world with covid19 consuming everyone, I would have told you...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a couple of weeks I realized something, my job I thought I would NOT be able to survive without, is survivable! Sure the money helps pay the bills but I think I forgot how resourceful of a person I actually am. I also know my family is very important to me and I’m going to do whatever I can to help keep us all safe. Something I have always wanted in life was to be home with my little one not missing her grow up and being able to support myself in the process is an amazing and very liberating feeling! My time off has given me a chance to find more time to devote to my creative inspiration and enjoying more freedom and family time. So I've decided to give my blog a total makeover. I have big goals for you my friends and I’m so dang excited to see where this all goes. I believe </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">everyone has a little bit of a tourist in them somewhere and mine currently is going to be exploring more of my creative side so I may share that creativity with you. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m happy to have you along for the ride! Stay tuned! I’m sending all my love & light to you. Please keep yourselves and the ones you hold dearest, safe. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
have been trying to get in touch with my sister Brittne sending multiple messages, so she is probably thinking something is wrong. Ha! She finally responded when I asked her if she
could make me a new chalk board sign? She replied, "What were you
thinking about? " I sent her the following text.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boyfriend & Girlfriend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
March 14, 2013</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Daddy & Mommy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
February ?? 2016<br />
❤</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She
called me right away and we started to talk about the sign and what I
had in mind for the sign. I said I want to have it be similar to the sign
she made for our wedding. I was starting to get antsy and tell her the news, since she just wasn't getting the point. I finally said Brittne, did you
actually read the words of the text I sent you?? All of a sudden she
started screaming saying
oh my gosh are you serious? It was such an happy and exciting
conversation
talking to her about becoming pregnant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She sent me this screenshot of what she came up with for the sign. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It has been 179 days waiting, hoping, wishing and praying that this day
would final make it's presence. That of course would be the number of days since my wedding on 12/13/14.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I was beginning to think it might
not be in my cards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Before I meet Jeff I knew I wanted to have another baby. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Yes for a long time I wanted one. We're talking years here people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I always felt in my heart I wasn't with the right person.....hence my long 7 year journey of not so great choices!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I wouldn't change a thing looking back because those help mold me into who I am today. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> And I like me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I'm one lucky girl finding the love of my life and I'll be forever grateful for him!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
3 days till our 6
month anniversary and I realized while I was on break at work this
morning that I'm 5 or 6 days late for the month!! Oh my gosh I thought I
could be pregnant!! I stopped at the store on my way home and pickup a couple of tests. I really couldn't wait to take the test as soon as I got home so I took one. I ended up waiting an extra 10 minutes because I was so
nervous to look and find out, but when I did it said....Pregnant 2-3!!
Oh my Yes I AM pregnant!!! I started to cry & laugh. Possibly 2-3
weeks along! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I have always had a deep love to Travel, maybe it
stems from our family always taking summer vacations. We almost always went to California to visit
and stay with family during our summer breaks and with each vacation there was always some new and
exciting adventures to add to my sweet traveling memories as a child. I think it was the point of leaving home,
where you're most comfortable, making new friends and getting to experience
different places that “home” didn’t have. I can recall once I was lucky to be old enough
to travel back to California with family visiting our home in Idaho. That was the best staying with my favorite
cousin & her brothers without the worries of having my parents or siblings
there to pester me. I found that after a
few days I started to realize just how much I missed them being around. So my love of Travel began and what a big
world it is out there with so many places & adventures that await my
longing to fall in love with it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

little girl didn't dream of living in a faraway land as a princess in her own
castle!! This one is my favorite....Neuschwanstein Castle, SW Bavaria, Germany!! <3 Many many of my younger years
& hours were spent pretending to be that princess. How incredible would that be to have that
come true even if for just a day! <3 </span></div>

Caribbean one…….Amazing!! I would go
back in a heartbeat to explore these beautiful & exotic places. Each island proves to be both culturally different &
unique. "A dream is a wish your heart makes" This is me riding a horse on the beach in Aruba!! I always told myself that was a dream of mine...I was finally giving the opportunity to make that wish come true!! </span></div>
