We've Been Quiet...

We've been a little quiet on the blog front lately.

Mostly because once we found out about the baby, that's all I wanted to talk about, but we had decided to wait to share our happy news!

If you haven't seen the announcement yet, here it is


We've been tracking the belly with a weekly photo as well...

4 weeks! We had just found out!

5 Weeks, celebrating Chad's birthday!
Telling Chad's Parents! 

6 weeks


7 weeks & our first doctor's appointment!


8 Weeks! (And that's not a baby bump, just bloat! :) )
Just being silly! We really are SO excited!

Aaaand We're Back!

Yep! We're back!

It's been a year, since we last updated the blog.

The following was my first post for 2017:

"2016 was a year of some very high highs and very low lows.
While I can't control that, I know that I can control my attitude and response towards the highs and lows that 2017 brings.
I'm (attempting) choosing to be joyful and prayerful in all circumstances. Join me?"

And its true. However that means the bulk of good, the bad, and the not so pretty will likely be shared here. (Read: You have been warned!)

As I was putting together the photo album for 2016 (On time for once! Yay for a week off!) I realized it was hard for me to keep all of the things of the past year in order with details and make sure I didn't forget anything!

So we're back! 

It may be my random ramblings, it may be thoughts on somethings, but it will mostly be written by me, not Chad.

So here we go: 2017, let's see what you have in store!
