Playing Catch up!

Baby looks a lot bigger in all my belly pictures than he/she really is.

I just can't wait!

Finding Out

One night I had a random tickling to take a test. We were not trying at all but i was a few weeks late and decided I should give it a go. I had taken many tests before so I assumed it would be routine. I was home by myself and when I actually saw the pink and blue lines I didn't really know how to react at first. I didn't really believe it and as time passed all I kept doing was catching myself smiling and thinking wow, this could be real.  

The only reason we were waiting was for more financial stability, but as everyone will tell you "there will never be a good time to start a family so just go for it." And I truly believe that God will provide. I found myself getting more and more excited as the night went on and I couldn't wait to tell my husband. He has wanted a baby since the day we got married!

Part of me wishes we could have found out together but like I said, I didnt think it would be positive. When he finally got home I couldn't help my smile. And at first I didn't know how to tell him. I kind of studdered for a few minutes and finally just showed him the test. And if I remember correctly this is how it went.

Me: Babe, umm, soooo, uhhh, here.....

B: what? are you kidding me? don't joke with me. 

Me: what? im not joking

B: If your joking with me im going to be really upset. Are you serious?

Me: yep im serious

B: omg

And then came the tears. I love to see my husband that happy. That was one of those awesomely beautiful moments you wished you had on camera. 

Then we decided to go to target and clear the shelves of their pregnancy tests "just to be sure"

8 tests later, and one dr. visit and we were rollin!

We could no be happier. It's a feeling I never knew existed and Im so happy I get to share this with my best friend.

Its about time....

About time I share this......

Might explain why I've been gone for a while. :)

Dear Summer...

You are almost here :)

Planning our honeymoon

Honeymoon #3 that is. 

Husband and I will be married for 2 whole years this July.

I still think its a load of crap that we had to start over counting.

We will technically be celebrating 7 years in December. But whose counting :)

Anyway. We originally wanted to go to Cornerstone this year. We went about 4-5 years ago and it was awesome. However, we both can't make it on that date. So I've been looking up similar festivals and narrowed it down to 2 that are in our driving distance. 

Ichthus Festival We are soooo excited about this one. Its in Kentucky, about 6 hours south. There are so many amazing bands and speakers but husband has to work that weekend and it is extremely hard for him to get someone to cover for him. We are still hoping for it but we'll see. 

We would get to see- Anberlin, The Wedding!!!!!, Thousand Foot Krutch, Chris Tomlin, and The Almost. eeeeekkk! 

Alive Festival Its in Ohio so it will be a fun little road trip. We would get to see Anberlin, Switchfoot, and Third Day!!! This one we can make for sure, our fall back. It doesn't have as many bands as we wanted to see but im sure we will get to hear so many awesome new ones and sometimes thats just as good. Plus this one is on the Lake. Ooooooo

If you have never been to a festival like this and its kinda how you roll, I highly recommend you check one out. It is a weekend full of faith, music, crazy fun people, camping and just plain awesomeness. (exclude port-o-john from awesomeness) Go here to find one in your neck of the woods.

Here's what we did on our 1st and 2nd honeymoon. This year will be a bit less adventurous but just as fun.

Im just so excited and I can't wait to get away for a bit with my Honey. Lord knows we need it.

Mammaaaaa Oo-Oo-Ooooooooooo

This is my beautiful mother.

I think I bragged about her enough last year

So ill keep this short.

Im not sure where I would be without her

And each and every day she surprises me more and more

Just when I think she couldn't be more humble, gracious, and beautiful

She does something that proves me wrong.

I will never be able to give her enough thanks for what she has done for me in this life

but I just hope she knows that I am forever grateful

and I can only hope to be half as good a mother as she is.

I love you Mom.

Water for Elephants!

I can't even tell you how excited I am to see this movie. 

The book is one of my absolute favorites and if you haven't read it you must :)
