First comes love, then comes marriage...

Then comes...you guessed it...a BABY!

We are so excited!! You know, living on my own I often wondered if it was in the "Plan" for me to get married and have children, it was something that I always wanted but just seemed to always be out of my reach. And then I met Alan and my whole life changed and I thought well, maybe I might get to be a mom in this life after all! And then I found out about my back and I was so scared that it would prevent me from being able to carry a child, I think that is why the Lord had us wait so long, he knew my body needed to heal and get strong! I have always hoped and dreamed-but never too loud, you know just in case. I didn't know if I was strong enougth to be disappointed in this area but I am so glad the Lord is blessing us with this miracle!


We do not know if it is a boy or girl yet, I just finished my first Trimester and thankfully did not have to suffer through morning sickness! I never have been a fan of vomit! :)


Once we get some pictures of little "Rufus" (Roo/fus) we will post them for sure!


He/She is due September 20th or somewhere thereabouts...everytime I go to the doctor they change the date!

New Addition....

So we did something that neither of us have EVER done on Monday...we bought a car, and when I say bought I mean paid in full, title in our name already bought a car! It was the wierdest feeling to come home with it and know that it's ours, we don't owe anybody anything else. And the best thing is that it has heat and AC, we will be set for school now!


I almost didn't get to put pictures on though because Alan likes to hide things from me and I can't find the cord to my new camera, but after charging our older camera up and switching out the memory card we have digital proof!

So what do you think, is it a boy or a girl?

We haven't decided yet!
