GEARING UP FOR BABY

We got a stroller and carseat, I made Nolan set it up that night at 10:00 p.m. (He was a little excited as well)

THE NURSERY PROGRESS

Her nursery is about 75% done. We got a crib and the cutest bedding EVER! I just had to set it up the same day we got it..YES just a little excited. We also had to refinish a dresser, 2 nightstands, and still have 1 dresser waiting. We took the one out of our room to put in her room, then found a great deal at a garage sale for us...kinda hideous but with a little paint and some new hardware it will look just great! MIGHT I MENTION..Nolan carried it up our stairs BY HIMSELF!!! I thought I was going to go into labor..I was freaking out!

Our old dresser before

Already looking forward to the next painting day--NOT!!!

Stay Tuned For a picture of the finished nursery--Maybe in a month..or maybe more!!

Special Day

Our 4 year anniversary!! It is this thursday and seeing that I will be gone this post is a tad early, but I had to pay tribute to my handsome GROOM on our 4 year anniversary. I know everyone says it..BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 4 years!!
In a way I kinda still feel like newly weds. In fact I am proud to say even up until year 4 people have told us that we still act like newly weds, I take it as a compliment.
The last 4 years of my life have been full of many new experiences, some challenging, some that brought great sadness, and lots of moments full of love and romance.
I am so happy with the decision I made to marry Nolan. He truely is an incredible husband. I said this when I was dating Nolan and it's still true today..."I know I couldn't find someone else who treats me the way he does, or loves me as much as he does"

4 years ago, June 17, 2006
4 THings I love about Nolan:
1. His positive outlook on every aspect of life and living it to the fullest.
2. The way he finds joy in teaching me his hobbies
3. Of course his looks, he is gorgeous!
4. His love and sincerity towards me.

4 Things I love about being married
1. Cuddling in bed each night
2. Quality time with special date nights (sleepovers in the family room, flying kites, Nolan teaching me to throw a football better, walks, games, and wrestling.
3. Going on vacations together, it's so fun to it together!
4. Always having someone there that truely cares about you.

4 Things I have learned being married
1. Doesn't Snore, should have been on my future husband checklist
2. You truely can miss someone so much it hurts physically.
3. Let the little things go
4. LOVING every part of someone is what makes the greatest love.
I LOVE YOU NOLAN, it has been the most amazing 4 years and I look forward to many more. THank you for being the most amazing husband and loving me through the good and bad. I love you more than anything and I can't wait to embark on a new journey together..parenthood! Happy Anniversary!

This DISGUSTS ME!!!

IT FIGURES

At the Ft. Hood Memorial Service...

The Crotch Salute Returns

I'm sorry folks, but is this the turkey that was elected President of our country?

You know, the United States of America?

I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, and also to honor the servicemen who died, or is he above that?

Shower us all with flowery words and dazzle us with Bull

But actions speak louder. This stinks.

What Happens in Vegas...

We went down to Vegas for a little getaway. It was so fun! Nolans BEST FRIEND growing up (Caden) and his wife (Megan) came down with us. She is pregnant too and we are only a couple of days apart! Both pregnant with girls! We had such a blast, we relaxed in the sun, went to the strip, and even went to the Cirque Du Soleil show! Tiffany and Phil--Wills mom and dad, were so kind to let us stay in their amazing house!

Their sweet pool with a waterfall and a little cove!

Kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower so Romantic!

THis picture is NOT posed, I caught this while they were in conversation, these boys have so much fun together!


The girls in front of the amazing bead light thingys we loved these and tried to figure out how we could make them ourselves!

The crazy boys!

Our treats from the restaurant!

We even visited with Edward scissor hands!
