New Years Eve

We had a wonderful New Years this year eating dinner and playing games with good friends. We usually go to the strip to watch the fireworks but I didn't really want to be the lady that was almost seven months pregnant walking around while my feet were swelling. We went to Chili's with Megan, Ricardo, Megan, Blake and Jenna and then we went to Megs new house to play a game and watch some fireworks. It was relaxing and a lot of fun. We even drank three bottles of apple cider before midnight! Here are a few pics from the night....

Kitchen Remodel

John has been doing amazing things around here and our latest project of a new kitchen is finally complete. Words cannot describe what it feels like to be able to have two people in the kitchen at one time and still be able to move around. It is more than I could have ever asked for and thanks to my dad who made it all possible. They both did a wonderful job....

This is the room before they got started

Removing the window to replace it with a door and a smaller window

Actual counter top to prepare dinner on



Eventually we will have a freezer in the other empty slot



I am very lucky and proud that my husband can do such amazing handy work!

28 weeks and counting

I have been horrible at blogging lately and as part of a new years resolution i am going to try and keep up with the little things like that. I cant believe that we are already in a New Year it seems like I was just having my birthday in July but time seems to be moving by pretty fast. I am so thankful for things that happened in 2009 along with a lot of things that I wish never would have but I guess the good always come with some bad. I am so thankful to be having this baby he is such a blessing in both of our lives and I cant wait to be a mother to him. I had a rough start with the miscarriage but God blessed me with a healthy pregnancy just two short months after. I can never explain how thankful I am for that. Although I have a pretty rough couple of months throughout the pregnancy it will all be worth it in the end. I try to explain to John that I have to complain about not being able to walk, or waking up in the middle of the night with leg cramps, or even being put on bed rest for a short while because if i didn't complain it wouldn't be me :) He thinks that I'm just looking for sympathy for him which maybe I am just a little! In the next two and a half months that we have to prepare for the little guys arrival I feel that there is a lot still left to learn on my end which is a little overwhelming but I'm sure it will all come naturally or at least that is what everyone says will happen.

I'M excited for the New Year to start and hope that it is filled with lots of great adventures for everyone!
