Surprise!!!!

October 2010, we got an amazing surprise.............

that's right...we were PREGNANT! Due beginning of July. I had told Kelly before that when we were to ever get pregnant I did not want to find out the sex of the baby. I want to wait until d-day! I was really surprised that he was so on board with waiting. It drove everyone else nuts more than it did us :) We stayed strong and never did find out

2nd Grade

Kali's big day as a 2nd grader. She wasn't to sure about starting a new school and being the "new" kid, until she found out that her teacher (Mrs. Armstrong) was new to the school this year also. I think knowing there was someone else who didn't know anything about anyone or where every thing was, was a relief for her.

and now time to leave her for the day :(

The Move

April 2010 - Kelly was accepted to Law School in Oklahoma City, so we packed up and moved to Norman, OK. Kelly was at military training so I came to Norman first to get us all unpacked and settled in the house and start working. Kali stayed with Nanny and Papa over the summer and hung out and then would move down here right before school started. We were able to find a nice rental house and the best part was our landlords are amazing! I mean, when asked if we could bring our 3 dogs and 2 cats the response was..."well of course, pets are part of the family also!" I love her!

The Beginning

So after many many nights of going back and forth of whether or not to start blogging, I decided to just go a head and take the plunge and do it. Then the next dilemma I had was were to start...guess the best place would be the beginning, right? Well the beginning happened over a year ago but I will quickly get you all up-to-date on whats been going. Here we go.....

March 2010 - I married my best friend and soul mate. The same day that I gained a husband I also had the privilege of gaining two daughters, Sara and Kali. We were married on the square in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The day was a blast and there is not one thing I would change about it.

My husband and his crazy group of guys. And yes this is a pretty accurate pic of how they all really are!

Me and my girls. Love them all!

Miss Kali and Miss Sara...the two best girls a mom could ask for.

Kelly's grandparents, Mimi and Papa Don. Two of the most nicest, caring and warm hearted people I know.

Our parents...without them our wedding would not be close to what it was. Thank you all for all the hard work and time you put it. It was amazing!

And then it was time for the reception....let the party begin.....

Gab, Julianne and Ben singing "Living on a Prayer." I love the faces, lol.
