Sweet girl, SWEET SIXTEEN!

Happy Sweet 16, Alyssa!!!

 

 

Oh I love this girl. And I wish we lived closer so that I could spoil her today with love and birthday spankin's. (Too old for that?? Nahhhh)

 

Here's 16 reason's I love this little lady SOO much: (ther are many, MANY more)

 

1. She is STUNNING. Like really, REALLY, naturally gorgeous.

2. She has the cutest freckers.

3. Her teeth? PERFECTION.

4.  She laughs at my husband's jokes.

5. I met her when she was 14, and she has BLOSSOMED before my very eyes!

6. She's going to be an AMAZING Aunt to my baby.

7. She's probably more mature that I am...(Not saying alot, but she is!)

8. This chica can SING!

9. I've never met anyone with better sarcasm. (The good kind.)

10. Somehow, and I've yet to figure this out, when she throws her hair up in a random messy

            bun, it looks PERFECT.

11. She. Is. HILARIOUS. This is not an exaggeration. I honestly feel bad for anyone who's never

            met her.

12. She is such an example to me. This girl's standards are SKY high.

13. Her wispy hairs. She know's what I'm talking about and they are ADORABLE.

14. Her laugh is CONTAGIOIUS.

15. Did I mention that she is BEAUTIFUL?

16. She's MY SISTER, and I love her so much!

 

Here's how cute she is:

 

 

 Happy Birthday, Alyssa!

I hope it's as wonderful as you are!

 

 

 



Oh baby...we're having a baby!

It's been my destiny to be a mom since I was 12 years old and started baby sitting. And after a short ten years later...dun dun dun...I get to be a mom!

 

April 26, 2013!!!

 

We are SO unbelievably blessed.

 

We also don't know the first thing about being parents, but I do know that this child of ours is going to be EXTREMELY loved.  It's impossible to not already love our little grapefruit-sized angel. And I haven't even seen that perfect little face yet.  Maybe it's my mommy instinct's starting to kick in, but I worry about this little peanut! Every doctor's appointment I am a bowl full of nerves until I'm reassured that  I have a healthy baby. And then I cry. (Tears of joy, of course.) Dang hormones.

 

I know our lives are going to be so so so different, but we can't wait!

 

So, so blessed.

 



Congrats baby!

Soooo, I totally get bragging rights on my husband today. (Ok, so I do that everyday..)  He's just SO wonderful, handsome, sexy, hard-working, charming, amazing, perfect, funny, love-able, kiss-able (my fave), and oh so SMART!

After studying this nasty book  for what seemed like FOREVER. (The picture doesn't show how thick it really is...yuck!)

HE PASSED THE EXAM AND GOT HIS INSURANCE LICENSE!!

Some of you are like... "blah blah blah, so what"... well, this is a big deal, and I am one proud wifey!
Especially doing this while he's in school, yeah my husband is a STUD.

Halloooooooween.

Yay for the holiday seasons!!! This is my ABSOLUTE favorite time of the year. ANY reason to celebrate ANYTHING, and I am so there.

We started off this spook-tacular holiday by getting our scare on and going to the Haunted Mill. OOOOOOOO.... We have a love/hate relationship, the Haunted Mill and I. I let someone talk me into going EVERY year, and I hate it. The whole time I'm literally on the verge of tears and have to talk myself through it. It's the worst. (Thankfully I have a big, strong man to protect me from all the scary monsters.) And then, when it's all said and done.. I utter these words (everytime)... "Ohhh, that's wasn't so bad." Even though I really thought that scary man with the chainsaw was going to chop my head off. Sigh. We did have a great time with Brady & Hollie, and Jared & Chelsea though. And that hot chocolate after made this a fun night!

 

 



Our next festivity was carving pumpkins with the Nelson's! (Weird to say because technically I am a Nelson.) We love Michael and Ashley!

Technically I did the carving, and I made the Mr. scoop out all the pumpkin guts.

I even got to dress up for work!

Happy Halloween!!!
