Here is goes...

Well, first off, I am not a blogger. I thought that I would start this in an attempt to keep up with the crazy journey that is about to begin! Chris and I have had an exciting past 5 years. When i think about the "major events" in life... I can pretty much sum them up in the last 5 years.

First, in 2006, I had graduated and started my career as a special ed. teacher in Little Rock, which i really loved living. Chris had got an offer to move to Northwest Arkansas and be a worship leader. This was the point where we had to decide if we stay together, or we both eventually get up there! Definitely a God thing when I got a job right off the bat in Rogers Public Schools. Which I must say, I LOVE! Then, in 2008, I got engaged! Chris proposed while we were at Chateau on the Lake for a company trip in December. It seemed like everything was just falling into place!

Throughout the wedding planning, my fairly new job, and living in my apartment... things were good. I was eager to hurry and get married. I had never been one of those who had to have the massive huge wedding, with everything homemade by me, and frilly dilly. :) I wanted it mostly simple, candles, and roses.... which we had! We got married in the same church as my parents did, and the church my grand and great grandparents attended most of their lives. On March 21, 2009, I said yes to a man that was perfect for me! Our brothers married us, which made the day so special!

Ok, so.... recap.... got a job, moved, got a new job, got engaged, got married.... NOW, let's continue. I also began graduate school a year into our marriage! ( I know... I am nuts!) However, it went well and I graduated with a 4.0! yippee! After that I said that we would take it easy for a while and just enjoy life! Which we did.... We bought a house! lol. Our first home and we love it! Then, This past summer I went on a mother/daughter mini vacation with just my mom. It was great! I knew in my mind that i wanted to go on one before we started having kids. When we got back from the beach in early June, Chris and I decided that we were ready to begin the "baby making". :) I just knew it would take a while to get pregnant, and so we wanted to start early June.

To our excitement.... we didn't need very much trying! Apparently it was "time" for us and we are so excited that we will be welcoming a baby in March 2012. SO, like I said, we have had a great and blessed past five years! I can't imagine what the future holds.... "it's gonna be wild, it's gonna be great"..... Thank you Jesus for your blessings!
