Baby Blue

Over Memorial weekend we decided to paint the nursery for our little guy. We were trying to decide between blue and green (my favorite color). Since our living area is olive green, we decided to go with a bright ocean blue. We got to enjoy Jill and Jayden's company while Ry taped, prepped, and painted. Jayden was such a good girl and just played with her little baby (a stuffed puppy) in the bassinet. We were so glad they came to hang out for a few hours. I LOVE the way the color turned out and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all looks put together...don't worry I will keep you posted.

Our Wedding Day!

This past year has been exciting, loving, happy, and so much more 

than I ever expected. I feel so blessed to have found

my best friend and I love you LOTS. I thank God every single

day that you came into my life. Like you've said before 

"if I knew marriage was this great, I would have married you a long

time ago." I couldn't agree more. This has been so much 

fun and I can't wait to start our family together. I look forward to 

what this journey will bring and I'm so thankful that we are 

bringing a sweet baby boy into this world together! 

{LOVE U LOTS}

Anniversary Surprise

This was my special surprise! We both decided that each year one person would be responsible for the festivities for our anniversary. Ryan decided to do it this year and I was pleasantly surprised by his choice! We drove up to Midway and stayed at {The Zermatt Resort and Spa} for one evening. I love this resort because it has a Swedish ambiance and the outside of the resort is all hand-painted. It is was so peaceful and calm.... I LOVED IT! The dinner we hand that evening was the Prime Steak Buffet...it was yummy and for breakfast on Sunday we drove into town and ate at a quaint little cafe. I really enjoyed spending quality time with my sweet hubby.

It's a.... BOY!

On Tuesday we scheduled our appointment for 8:25am to find out what this little lime was. We anxiously waited in the "waiting room"...Ryan was a lot more relaxed than I was. I kept moving around in my chair as I looked at the time on my phone. FINALLY!... the nurse came out"Genevie"... "come on back."

The nurse measured your arms, legs... while we waited because you were pretty shy at first....Then she said You have a naughty little boy... Ryan replied "a BOY." We were both overwhelmed with joy! Instantly, I started imagining what you would look like. We can't wait till you come into this world! You have already brought so much happiness :)

See ya in few.... xoxox

VERY ANXIOUS

Ok it's KILLING Ry and I not knowing what the gender is of our sweet little peanut is. There are a total of 8 pregos, including myself that our going through all of this together. And four of them already know what they are having. It's down to 3 boys and 1 girl. To make matters worse some of these pregos are due after me! No offense to the prego friends and co-workers.... I am excited for you, but also very very jealous.

 Do you feel sorry for me yet? Well you should! Every night I search the web for names, bedding, clothes, cribs, blankets for both genders. Last night Ryan and I found ourselves just laying in bed wondering what he/she will look like. I'm so ready to walk into Home Depot and go pick out paint for the nursery! May 4th has never looked so far away.

We went to Dallas this past weekend and had a really great time! The main reason we were all there is because of Dustin's wedding, which was held in Lyn's backyard. Saturday was the perfect day for a wedding... birds chirping in the trees, bright blue skies, and a very happy couple. It was so good to see family and friends that we haven't seen in quite a few years. I was very excited to not only introduce my handsome husband, but also share our exciting news with everyone. Since we were there for a few days, we also went to The Dallas Art's District, The Deep Elm Art's Festival, had a Easter egg hunt in Lyn's backyard, and went to the Dallas Arboretum. We were also fortunate to stay with Uncle Thomas and Aunt Sonia, who cooked us breakfast every morning, let us borrow there car, and did our laundry before we left. They definitely get the Best Host and Hostess Award for the year :) Thanks ya'll for a fun time in D town!
