Birthday Suprises

Well I must admit I was pretty impressed by my husband and the little surprises he pulled out of his sleeve for my 24th Birthday. So let's start out with Saturday, well I had a few photo-shoots that day so he cleaned the house for me. Then we went out to buy a dresser for the baby's room and also my present for my birthday. Then he had the bright idea of going to The Olive Garden, my favorite restaurant. So of course I was all for it. When we got there, around 6:00, it was completely crowded, like usual. 45 minute wait. So we decided to wait. While we are waiting guess who walks through the door? My Dad! He had been there for about half hour so we jumped the line. How awesome is that, my parents came up and surprised me!! Mark, my cousin, and his fiance, Jessica, also came for dinner. It was such a great surprise to have my parents there. I love when they come to visit, so fun that they live so close so they can do that often. I have the best parents! I love them to bits. Thanks again for coming! So they stayed over night but had to leave early the next morning, so we said goodbyes and then headed to church. Most of the day we just kinda layed around and watched TV, so of course I was in my scrubs. Well at around 6:00 Alex and Joe ring the doorbell and then a few minutes Meg and Jorge come over. Again I am a complete mess and Brad had planned a little party for me. Haha so I had to go change and try to look a little decent. What an awesome husband, he had a whole barbeque planned, and had somehow hid the food from me. I guess that show how much I cook!!! Elyse, Robbie, Kevyn, and Ed also came over. It was so fun to have everyone over, and the surprise made it so much better. I have never had a surprise birthday my whole life and had always wanted one, so thanks Honey, You're the BEST.

Brad had even managed to hide a big cheesecake in the back of the fridge.

Soooo Good!!! A big thank you to all my friends for coming out and celebrating my birthday with me, it was a blast!!

I can't believe I'm 24, that sounds so old!!But at the same time I think, I have almost been married 5 years so 24 seems pretty young, I guess that's what happens when you get married at 19!!! But I wouldn't change a thing. I love my husband and am so grateful for him in my life. He truly is the BEST!!! SO thanks again and Love you Forever!!!

Guess What!!!

It's true! I'm finally pregnant!!


I am due October 11 so that makes me 13 weeks today, so I guess it's about time I announce it to everyone. It has been quite the journey for Brad and I as we have tried starting our family. After 3 years of trying, I can finally say I am pregnant and tell all of you. It is such an exciting time for us. We have been waiting to long and at times I must admit I did second guess myself if this would actually happen for me. But after the first and second ultrasound I can see that baby growing and what a wonderful miracle it is. I had seen a 8 week ultrasound before, but I was pretty nervous when I went in for my 12 week ultrasound, I just wanted to see that baby. And when I did I couldn't stop smiling and crying. Patience truly pays off I guess. I just feel that the lord has really blessed us and knows what is best for us. This couldn't be happening at a better time for us. It's kinda crazy to think that Brad and I are going to be parents. Ahh I guess we better start straightening out!! Well I guess the next thing coming up is finding out what we are going to haveI can't wait to find out! Only 5 more weeks... Don't know if I can wait that long!!! But I guess I have to.. I don't know how some people wait the whole 9 months, but good for them. I guess I'm just not that patient.
