hello again

Once you get away, it's hard to come back. Where do I begin?

Spring break happened and we did get some things done to the house!
1. painted our guest room (see wall color in picture)

2. changed the lighting in both of the bathrooms
3. finally put up decorations


Spring semester ended......thank God! And I am very proud to say that I got a 4.0 with 19 hours!! There were several times I was sure that I would not be able to get through it so I have no idea how I managed to pull that off. But I checked and rechecked and it's still there! So my lips are sealed. The one time I won't be asking any questions :)

I have spent the last couple of weeks traveling.

Josh and I drove one weekend to Lubbock to attend the commencement ceremonies of our dear friend, Anthony.........well I should say Dr. Anthony now. He graduated with his Doctorate in Medicine AND a Master's in Business Administration. He is one of 4 in the country to have accomplished this. We are so proud of him and were honored to be a part of it.

We returned on a Sunday and I left that following Tuesday morning for Arkansas (Eureka Springs) to visit my sister. We got to spend time with her and my awesome little nephew! It was a great time :)

I got back that Saturday and left again Sunday with Josh for East Texas to spend the Memorial day weekend at the lake! Josh's aunt has a beautiful house on the lake and it's always so peaceful and relaxing!

And that concludes the traveling and brings us current!

I have saved the best news for last!! WE'RE HAVING A BABY :) Due Thanksgiving Day!

Easter Sunday - 3rd pregnancy test positive (The first 2 weren't convincing enough)
March 24 - blood test confirmed pregnancy
May 14 - first real doctor's appointment. Heard the heartbeat for the first time (163) and breathed our first sigh of relief.

I am now in my 14th week and the baby is about the size of a lemon! Everything seems to be going well. I have my next appointment June 18 and will hopefully be able to breathe our second sigh of relief!

Josh and I are really, super-duper excited! We are so thankful and just feel so blessed! This will be our first human child!


bye for now.
