New & Exciting Things are Coming!!!

Well 2012 is already here (as a matter of fact we are already 20 days into 2012)! I can tell that this year is going to go fast. 2012's resolution/goal is to 'get organized'! We will see how that goes....

We are so super excited to announce that we are expecting our first baby in July!!!! I am 13 weeks 4 days right now and we had our first prenatal appointment today. We got to hear our baby's heartbeat!!! What an amazing sound....makes my heart skip a beat :) I LOVE IT, and as a matter of fact I love being pregnant! I really haven't been sick, but my energy level has been super low. That has been a bit frustrating, but I've been told that will come back! I'm already getting a baby bump and I can't wait until I really start to show. We also can't wait until our first ultrasound which is February 23!! I can't wait to see our baby, and maybe find out if it is a girl or a boy! :)

There are so many new things we are learning about....cloth diapering, labour preparations, all the accessories and essentials that a baby needs (who knew that one (or two) little person could need so much stuff?!?) and all the changes my body is and will be going through! It's a lot, but it's exciting!

I really am going to try to give this blog some of my attention, but I'm not promising anything. It might be a couple days, weeks or months between posts, but you know what, thats okay! Life happens. Between the last post and this one we lost 2 grandpas, my sister got married, we went on a wonderful vacation, my first nephew was born and we spent lots of time with family and friends. It is more important for me to enjoy the moments that we have with people, but if I get a spare couple of minutes to write a post and maybe put up a couple of pictures, then great :)

I've been a bad blogger :(

I just have not seemed to have any time to blog lately.

Between working in the basement, trying to keep the house clean, organizing and getting Josh ready for his final intereviews, visiting Josh's Grandpa in the hospital in Calgary and then constantly worrying every time the phone rings :( , with Jocelyn and Jared home this week and all the visiting and wedding planning that comes with that and being sick for what seems like the past 3 or 4 weeks I just have not had any time to blog. :(

Maybe this weekend, here's hoping that I get a chance to upload all those photos on my camera and write down my thoughts.

S is for Scrapbooking

I SCRAPBOOKED!!!!

I had gone out and bought all this exciting stuff from my birthday money and I wasn't going to just let it and all my other stuff sit around any longer....and I have really been wanting to finish our Vacation 2005 album.  When I was thinking of doing these Mexico pages I was looking through all my paper and I thought that the reds and browns would be perfect for it! I really love how it turned out!! Simple yet fun!

Journalling at the bottom of the first page says: 10am tequila + shopping + cigars + local food and music = awesome day!

And I have been working on another 'project' but since that project is a secret I am only going to share one picture and it really doesn't give anything away!! This is all you get!

I'm hoping to get some more scrapbooking done this long weekend, I only have 3 more pages to finish this album! Hopefully I can get that all done so I can start on my next album! :) YAY for long weekends!

Champagne and Cupcakes!

Our Valentine's Day this year we decided would be very laid back....no cards....no gifts....and no going out for supper! If we are going to spend money on something we will spend it on our next Caribbean vacation!

Since Valentines Day was on a Monday this year, I had Pilates class to go to. So me and Josh met up at Sarah and Mike's house for supper....very yummy salmon and rice! Then me and Sarah went to Pilates. It was a really great class, I've been enjoying this whole process! After Pilates I made my way home to see my wonderful hubby! We ate the cupcakes that I had gotten at Edible Elegance (omg so delicious!) and drank an entire bottle of champagne! And of course took some photos! :) All in all a great Valentines Day and it didn't cost very much at all!

This man is definately my sweetheart and soulmate! <3 And of course we can't forget Miss Molly....she really has made our lives that much more enjoyable!

Basement Renos

The day after my birthday we started working on the basement (good thing I wasn’t hung over haha) We received all of the building permits the week before and we had bought all the lumber already! I’m so happy that this major project has been started and that if we keep up the pace that we have been we should have this basement complete sometime this summer!! YAY

Molly was having lots of fun watching us and I think she might be a little too curious....she was walking right up to the saw and sniffing everyting, she isn't even afraid of the loud noises! I might have to keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't get into any trouble!

I’m so happy that me and Josh work so well together on these big building projects! Really there’s no reason for us not to because we are so in tune with each other and love each other so much (and we are both so talented haha)! We spent Saturday and Sunday of my birthday weekend and then Saturday and Sunday of the next weekend working in the basement and we are 90% done the framing!!! Just have one wall to frame in the laundry room (we should be able to tackle that this long weekend that is coming up) and then we are done and can start on the electrical! (I’m also so happy that I have such a handy husband! There is no way we could do this reno if we had to pay someone to do all the labor for us)

Photo #7 of 52 taken while we were working away in the basement! Love this man! <3
