Ist Dr.'s Appt.

I had my first Dr.'s appt. yesterday and other than the poking and prodding, it went rather well. I could not believe how much blood they took! I felt it draining from my body. :) They said I was 6 weeks along and my due date is May 21st. I go back in 4 weeks to hear the heart beat.

We're Expecting!

Yes, it's true... I'm pregnant! Four days after Matt left for his deployment, I found out that I was pregnant. This news has been a wonderful surprise and a true blessing from God. Before I told anyone, I was waiting to hear from Matt because I wanted him to be the first one to know, but he was not allowed to call for a few days. So, I had to wait patiently before I told anyone... sorry about keeping some of you in suspense during that time, I didn't mean to. :) Anyway, I will find out more info once I visit the doctor I am being referred to. I have to wait on insurance stuff... you know how that goes. Please keep us in your prayers! I am already feeling sick to my stomach and nothing sounds good to eat. :( Hopefully this part will pass soon.

It's That Time Already?

Matt had to leave for deployment number 6 today. It seems like I was just welcoming him back from his last one and I already had to say goodbye to him as he headed out for this next one. We were told this one should only be for 4 months, but things always change with the Air Force, so who knows. Please keep us in your prayers because no matter how many deployments we go through, you never get used to them. I'm thankful I at least have our new puppy Casey to keep me company this time. If you guys want to write Matt his address is the same as last time.

Good Times!

Well we made it back home safe and sound from our California trip at 3:00 am this morning. There were many delays at the airport which caused us to get home so late. We had a great time seeing family and friends again! We got to celebrate birthdays with family members and play with our little nephew Liam... he has grown so much! We also went to see a Padres game and unfortunately they lost again, but it was fun to go out there. Thanks for taking the time to spend with us while we were there. We miss you guys already!

California Here We Come!

We are making a trip to California next week to visit family and friends before Matt has to leave again on another deployment. We will be arriving on the 14th and leaving on the 20th. I can't wait to see everyone again, especially my nephew Liam. This will be Matt's first time meeting him. He has grown so much since the last time that I saw him. Well, we are looking forward to seeing everyone again... take care!

This is Liam when I visited in March and this is Liam now.

New Member of the Family

Today we added a new member to our family... a dog. :) She is about 3 months old and she is a boarder collie mix. I found her on website and immediately liked her. I had to drive an hour and a half to get her, but she was worth it! I was so thankful that no one else had decided to adopt her before I got there because it was a first come first serve basis. The only problem now is I don't know what to name her! So, if anyone has any suggestions let me know! :)

Happy 4th!

We hope everyone had a nice and relaxing 4th of July weekend. We had a relaxing weekend with not too many activities on the schedule. We went to see WALL-E Thursday night. I really liked it, but Matt didn't really care for it. :) For the 4th, we had some friends over for a BBQ and then went to watch the fireworks here in town. The rest of the weekend Matt has been working on his truck and I have been working in the garden. I planted some more flowers and bushes. Here are some pictures of what I planted... I know I may sound like a nerd, but I am a sucker for flowers. :)
