Wow....It's been forever since I have been on here.  When I created this blog, I sincerely meant to keep up with this.  However...life happened and time got away from me.  Since I've been on here, a lot has happened.

• Kaci & Trae came to see us for Thanksgiving and we had so much fun. We stayed up all night (a first time and a last time for me) and went Black Friday Shopping, we went on a scavenger hunt at the mall, we played a lot of Ticket to Ride, which is super addicting and brings out the competitiveness in everyone. and just had fun being together.  We had a super fun time being together, made a million memories, and I loved having them here with us.

• I went to Pennsylvania for 10 days at Christmas to spend time with my family.  It was lots of fun, but I was very ready to see my wonderful hubby when he arrived. 
•  We celebrated our 1st Anniversary in Brown County.  We rented a cabin and just enjoyed being lazy and relaxing and not doing anything much.  It was a wonderful weekend.
• And the biggest news of all...we found out at the beginning of February that we are expecting a little one in October.  And then we had to keep it a secret for 9 weeks until we could see my family in person to tell them.  Needless to say, we were very glad to have it out in the open.  The doctors appointments have been going great.  We had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and got to see the baby and hear its heartbeat.  What a wonderful sound.  We also heard it at the 12 week and 16 week appointments.  Right now we are counting the days until the 20 week appointment when we will have another ultrasound and find out whether we are having a boy or a girl.  Neither one of us have a preference really...we are just praying for a healthy little baby.  I flip flop back and forth about what I think it is on a regular basis, but in 10 days we will *hopefully* know for sure.  

Thats all for now, but I hope to keep this updated better than I have been.
