A baby!

We have had a year full of excitement...engagement, elopement, buying a house, and a wedding. We didn't think that that was enough... We had to add another surprise.

We are having a baby!!!

We found out Nov.14 after assuring Kevin that I was not pregnant. Well, I am 7 weeks along and we are just ecstatic!!! We are getting ready for Cooper (a name we both like recently) who should be here around July 13th. Most people don't tell anyone till the 1st trimester is over. I had to tell my boss at work so I would not be involved in a restraint with a child (Kev and I work where kids can get very violent). The news leaked at work and I thought it would be fair to let other people I know better in on the secret as well.
I have been feeling pretty good. Just some nauseousness, but not too bad. Our 10 week ultrasound will be December 15 and I am dying to hear that heartbeat! Not sure if many people read this, but it's fun to tell our little secret!

So, Kevin is really excited about blogging now! Apparently I forgot to tell him that we have one. We have updated and added some fun music for you to enjoy! We are still waiting for more pictures from the wedding... now, its time for us to ... clean the house!

OK! Its been a while. We had our wedding ceremony on October 11. It was pure bliss! Here are some pictures from a friend. I am still waiting for the professional pics!

Here are my 2 flower girls, Keri, Jessica, and Gretta (the memorial candle bearer)

My family!

So cheesy, but fun!

Our marriage and new home!

So, a lot has happened in the past month. Kevin and I eloped on May 1st. We closed on our house May 2nd. We got impatient and wanted to live together in our new home. In the past month we have cleaned poop off the walls, painted, installed carpet, installed hardwood floors, and became the proud parents of 2 baby kittens. Cosby and Rembrandt, they love us!!!
We are still planning the regular wedding stuff for October 11... its just going to be really laid back. It's important to us to have our family and friends there to celebrate with us.
So, thats just a quick update on our lives... We hope to have pictures up soon (if we can find my camera cord witch is packed somewhere).

First post!

This fall

This is our first official entry to our new blog! Kevin is recovering nicely from his 5 hour emergency room ordeal yesterday. He is really enjoying laying down right now.
We made an offer on the "dog*poop*" house today. We will find out by Friday if we get it or not. We are so ready to get a house fixed up to move into after we get married. I am ready to leave apartment living. This neighborhood has gotten pretty shady...
192 days to go. We picked up our paper today for our invitations and I got my shoes for the wedding! I want to get as much as I can done early so I dont have to freak out the week before the wedding. We have the church, reception site, cake, dress, and various little items nailed down. I think we are doing pretty well.
