Our Lil Peanut

I was talking to my friend Nattie last night about writing in our journals when we were little and how we always started it, "Dear Journal, Hi! How are you? Sorry it's been so long since I've written in you. I promise I will do better"! Oh funny kid us.


Dear Blog,

Hi! How are you? Sorry I haven't written on you in so long. I promise I will do better. So here is an update on my life these past three months I have been so rudely away.

First off, and most importantly, Dan and I are going to have a baby. How cool is that? The due date is December 23rd. Christmas baby! My game plan is to hold off and have the baby on December 30th so it isn't born right on Christmas. I think I have complete control in the matter so that is the plan. We found out we were with child back in April. It was pretty funny to see Dan's terrified face as he choked out, "I'm so happy." But we have now been able to hear the heartbeat and see our cute little nugget, plus my belly is poking out so the whole thing is more real and we can not wait. Our baby is going to be so awesome. I am now officially in the second trimester (as of today)! I am hoping to say good bye to the nausea and hello to more energy. One can wish but we shall see. Any way, it is crazy that there is a little human growing inside me. Pretty cool thing. Here is a picture of our allstar.

Doesn't it look just like me?

On to other cool stuff we have been up to... I went to Texas back in May to visit my bros Whittney and Ryan.

Back on the home front:

Dan and I both had birthdays! We are so much older and wiser now!

I went to the Toby Keith concert with my sisters! They are trying to turn me country. I do think cowboy boots are really cute so I guess there is a possibility.

It has been SO warm, and luckily, Dan got a slipnslide for his birthday.

We have been hanging out with our awesome friends! Bonfires, festivals, and the Rodeo. Man oh man I love summer! 

Oh and also, back in April Dan and I celebrated our 4th year anniversary. How romantic. Sure do love that guy! I'm so happy to have him in my life and can't wait for the next year we have ahead of us.
