Fast fall :)

By
It has been quite awhile since I have been onto this blog.  It crossed my mind a few times that I should probably write a blog post, but I just never could fit it into my days.

Here we are-- mid December.  First semester is over, and I am well aware of the fact that in a year from now I will be filling out forms for subbing and officially be off into the real world searching for a job.

I can't believe how fast this fall has gone and that were already almost through December and into a new year.This year was quite a transition, going from living on my own (well with girls) to living with my husband!  We have enjoyed it A LOT and there are some days I can not believe we finally made it to this point in our lives.  Then again, some days it feels like we hardly dated and we've been married for years.  I've loved the opportunity to plan and make meals for Mark and myself. 

One of the hardest things this fall has been getting my school work done at home!  With Mark working and having absolutely nothing to do at night, it is extremely hard to find the motivation to do my homework.  A couple of weeks into the semester I quickly realized I had to do something about this.  I made it my goal to get as much as I could done of my homework while Mark was at work.  I have been blessed to have a very flexible on campus job since my freshman year--one that I can do my homework at.  This year I have truly understood this blessing and almost everyday I finished my homework while at work. 

We are excited to celebrate our first Christmas as a married couple... :) Merry Christmas to all!! So thankful for all of the blessings we have been given and for the greatest gift of the season, Jesus. 

Hope to keep posting a few more posts over Christmas break :)

IT'S A BOY!

By
Yep, we are having a boy!! These two girlies are going to love up on him more than he will know what to do with.  Let's just say after the first two girls, Mark was totally prepared to be an all girl dad.  When he saw the ultrasound and asked the technician if this ultrasound looked different than the last two, and she agreed, his response was, "Huh." He smiled at me and said, man, we have a lot to do.  The tech laughed throughout the ultrasound and kept whispering to me, "He's funny."  Mark would stare at the ultrasound, measurements, etc. and turn around every couple of minutes and say only a couple words, "Wow, this will be different,"  "It's really real,"  "Huh,"  "We've got to start a new spreadsheet of names."  We had a fun day finding out the gender, and Abby had fun seeing the baby on the ultrasound.  We didn't let her in on the secret of boy/girl, as she wanted to be surprised.  Poor Emma did...

Our girls

By
Oh these girls. I never imagined I’d have girls- plural. Maybe one girl, but not more than one. I always envisioned our family being full of boys, just as both of our families are, and many of the generations of families are that come before ours. To be completely honest, I kind of wanted it that way too - it's what I've always known. However, one summer day, when I pregnant with Abby, I could feel God changing me, placing this tenderness on my heart and whispering to me that I don’t make the plans, he does. I could tell that I needed to make a shift, that my heart wasn't in the right place, and that he was going to be working change in me. It wasn't that I didn't ever want a girl, I had just been so convinced for so long that we would have a boy first. Then, two girls?! Sisters are a new concept in our family. 3 boys, 1 girl. 5 boys, 1 girl. Even both of my parents sibling sets are made up of boys (plural) and one girl. Can I just say th...

Honeymoooooon!

By
Mark and I headed to the Dominican Republic the Monday following our wedding! We had such a great time but were definitely to get home to Cedar Falls at the end. We stayed at the Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana.  The resort was beautiful, ocean was beautiful, food was delcious and plentiful and we just had ourselves a nice trip :)  My favorite new thing I tried was probably the guacamole... this is a food that has always kind of grossed me out, but I decided to try it and it was so tasty! Mark was a big fan of the variety of meats at the Brazilian Grill restaurant (as was I).  We tried so many different meats that were cut off a skewer hot off the grill! Yummy.  Here are a few pictures from our trip :)
