Shawn's interpretation of the baby.

So this is Shawn's art interpretation of the baby. After our first appointment he was inspired to draw this picture. We are so excited for this new little addition to the family and can't wait for all the new changes. I have just barely started to show a little and it is fun. I am about 12 or 13 weeks now and am feeling pretty good.
We are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks to Cabo and we are so excited about it. It is a short 3 day trip but it will be so worth it. I am getting my legs and bikini area waxed for it and I have never done it before but I figure I should so I don't have to worry about shaving the whole time. I am a little nervous about it so if any of you have done it before and can give me some advice, that would be great.

First Doctors Appointment

So I had my first doctors appointment today and it went so well. We got to actually see the baby. It seems so much more real now. We got to see its little heart beating and to actually see it in my stomach. I really like my doctor too. It was the first time meeting her and I am very happy with our choice. She said that everything looks great and that the baby is developing wonderfully. Our due date is August 20th. I wish I had a picture but not yet. I will keep everyone updated. Hope to see you all soon.

Yep, I am a slacker!

I know I haven't posted for a while but I have a good excuse. School started again and so that and work has been taking up all of my time. Oh yeah, and I am growing a baby in my stomach too. Luckily I haven't been too sick. It comes and goes. I had the flu for about a week and at first I thought it was morning sickness. Boy oh boy am I glad that that is over. It was absolutely terrible, I kept thinking to myself, "How am I supposed to work when I am going to be sick like this for like 2 months?" But, I am now doing good and don't want to die, which is great. I have my first doctors appointment next Wednesday so I will post to let you know how that goes. Till then, goodbye and have good days.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

Yep, I am pregnant!!!! I am so excited. I am due around August 20th and can not wait. Erica is probably as excited as I am. I called her right after I took the pregnancy test to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I was just so used to it being negative that I had to have some reassurance. So thanks Erica for being there.
We decided to make a snowman one late night during a big snow storm. I think our snowman / snowalien looks great.


Here is our Christmas Tree. The lady that we bought the house from left this in the basement. SCORE!!! It is in great condition and all the red stuff was left too. We did not have to buy hardly anything. Just some lights and that is it. And my mom got us a really cool Nativity set from Jeruselum that we love. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! I wish I could come home and see everyone, but we will be there next year and with a new baby!!!! I love you all and wish you all the happiness and love.

Officially Winter Time

So, this is what I woke up to this morning. A ton of snow!!!! Shadow absolutlely loves the snow, but then he comes inside and is freezing because he is wet. He is pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Isn't this pretty?

I am so thankful for the covered parking. I hate scraping snow off the car.
This is our lovely snowy street. Much different than the one I grew up on.
He had little icicles all over his little body. He is looking at me like he is done taking pictures and he wants to go inside and get warm.

I also have to say happy birthday to my sweet niece McKenna. She turned 6 on Tuesday and I wish that I could have been there. We did just see them when we went home for Thanksgiving but it is never long enough. I love that little girl so much and I miss seeing her grow up. At least we have this now so I can see all the pictures and kind of feel like I was there. I love you McKenna.

Happy Anniversary Shawn!

So, it is our 4th anniversary tomorrow! Yeah!!! I can't believe it has really been 4 years. Shawn is the best thing I could ever ask for in a husband, best friend, and roommate. We have so much fun together and I love him more and more everyday. Here is to another 4 years and many, many, many, many more to come. I love you Shawn. Happy Anniversary. P.S. I hope there are flowers when I get home or else (shaking fist angrily). I am totally kidding, you are the best.






Sorry about all these old pictures but we really don't have any good recent photos of us. Which I hope to change very soon.

HALLOWEEN 2007!!!

Happy Halloween!! Shawn and I went to a Halloween party last night and here are some pictures from that and everyone in thier costumes. Enjoy!















Shawn is ... I don't know what he is, but he was all red. I am a demon of sorts I guess. They were pretty last minute costumes.
Here is me with my mask on. Scary!!!!
This is our friend Dusty as the Mad Hatter.
Here is a cool shot of Shawn all dressed up.

Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

Ok, ok.

So I am getting hounded by my lovely sister and now my mother to make a new post. So here you go.

I have been super busy with my new job and school and such. The new job is going good. Last week was my first full week and it went good. It is always weird getting into the swing of things but I think it is going to be a great fit for me. School is school and not much exciting things to say about that, so lets move on. My puppy Shadow is losing his teeth. I don't remember Oscar losing his teeth, but I could have been too young when that happened. I didn't realize that dogs lose thier baby teeth to. It is so cute, he lost just his bottom and upper front teeth like a little girl would. I will try and take a picture for you to see. Other than that, there is nothing new to say. We will be coming down to Arizona for Thanksgiving and I am so excited to see everyone. I will try to keep up on my posting for you guys also.
