Special day!

Today is a very special day. Today is Jahvel's birthday. 5 years ago we got engaged. And Velani was diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 exactly 2 years ago today.

Happy 27th birthday BABY!!

I also can't believe 5 years ago today I got engaged to this man. It's been cuhrazy! but so fun and worth it. Now a little something, Jahvel doesn't like celebrating his birthday, he doesn't like having a party or being the center of attention (I know hard to believe) so he proposed on this day so that everyone could think about me and the whole engagement thing instead of his birthday, awww! whatever.

So you might be thinking how does that make Velani being diagnosed with diabetes special and well, maybe it's not, but she was a real trooper and has been ever since. We have been really blessed. We have been trying to manage her diabetes the best we can. We have talked to her doctor and have decided to test the pump on her. This will be easier for her and for us to manage even better. She won't have to get poked all day now. Yay! She will have the "needle" inserted for a period of 3 days at a time and all we have to do is input the correct numbers and the insulin will be administered.


So we will be celebrating Jahvel (happy birthday), us ( 5 years IS a long time you know), and Velani (in your face diabetes). So here are a few pics for this day. Please don't cry mom.
