Our Troops:

So the last week or so I have been thinking so much about our Military Personal... And how many people I know that are currently serving our country In Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere else in the country and it truly makes me realize how blessed I am. Because of them I have freedom. I don't think I do enough for these brave soldiers and really think I need to find something I can do to help them as they are away from their families... Like send packages or something special...

I watch Army Wives every Sunday and it really makes me think, that this really happens. This show might be a TV series but it's got to be true life stories. I am so grateful to be an AMERICAN and so happy that I have the Freedom I have because of every single one of those soldiers who sacrifice everything for each and every person in America!!!

Almost OVER:

Here is a recent picture of the pregnant me!! I guess I should probably update you all: Well I went to the Dr. on Monday and I have dilated to a 1...Ryker is head down and ready to go...My Dr. does not think I will go 4 more weeks. So hopefully we will get to meet our little man really soon!! I am starting to get nervous! All the little things are starting to go through my mind: hopefully it's normal to worry if I'm going to be a good mom or not...What if I don't hear him crying!? What if I don't change his diaper right!? Or what if he doesn't get fed enough.!? Hopefully these are just things that everyone goes through and it will pass with time!! I am excited to be able to have a family! I love Craig so much and am so excited for us to be parents for the very first time!! I can't wait and I think he is getting more and more excited everyday!! :) I have so much love for my little man and he's not even here yet... I'm so ready so you can come anytime my little Ryker!!! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to meet you!!! :)

Grillin:

We walked into Home Depot a couple weekends ago and their grills were on sale! Craig has been wanting one so badly, and since they were on sale for an amazing price (50% off) I let him get one... We love it and use it every weekend he is home... I need to start using it during the week, but I haven't gotten there yet!! Here are some pictures!:

It's Spring Time:

A few weeks ago Craig and I decided it was time to plant some new flowers in the front yard. We love the new Flowers...We got some daisies, Roses, and some other ones that honestly I have no idea what they are...But we are very proud of our front yard!! :) Here are some pictures!! Manzy likes to help...

So Much Love:

So the last few weeks I have really been thinking a lot about the last few years...So much has happened...About 3 1/2 years ago I went through an amazing experience I will never forget...I became pregnant at 19...With lots of prayers and thought I decided Adoption was the best thing for my little guy. I found the family I knew was the right family right away...Ethan and Emily! They were fantastic. I don't exactly know what it was that made me just fall in love with them, but I just knew they were the ones... I spent as much time with them as possible and got to know them and their family very well. I was so happy that we got to spend so much time together, because when it was time for little Silas to come they got to experience it all with me. They were so amazing to me while I was in the hospital. I think I have thought a lot about this lately because I am now going through the same process, except this time, I am going to be a MOM! It is such a surreal time for me. I can't believe it's finally happening. I am so grateful for that experience in my life because it has truly helped me to understand the true meaning of love. I love you Ethan, Emily & Silas.
