Pregnancy Announcement!

So yes we are excited about this surprising blessing. We should have waited till we cleared the first trimester before we announced but this is how we feel about it;

After 9 years of trying, 3 years of miscarrying, and just a few months of planning for Ben's vasectomy... God gave us this amazing gift. Everything is kind of dicey right now but we did not want to hide the joy of this miracle for 4 months. So we announced it. How we announced was different than when I was pregnant with my first perfect little boy.

 We trolled pintrest and saw tons of really cute announcement ideas, and we were pretty sure that we wanted Tristan to announce it… as he will be a big brother for the first time after years of bedtime prayers.

I then went to Etsy and found this awesome Lady at Sweet Me Boutique who had the cutest sign. I bought it, printed it and took this picture with it.

 We posted it on face book, sent via text and email- officially we have announced. So we spend the next few months praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby but mostly trusting Gods miracle and plan!

Thanks everyone!

WHOA!!!!!! GOD IS GOOD!

Hello all, well to whomever has accidentally found this blog. As I said I really hope to get this blog up and running by January… however some interesting things have happened in the mean time. By interesting I mean… we are moving… literally right now. Also even more interesting is that we recently found out that we are expecting! YEA! That is interesting as our 1^st born will be 9 in September…. So, needless to say we are both surprised and extremely excited.

As this move has snuck up on us quickly, a ton of my projects that I have planned are being put on the … to do as we can do list. This frustrates me; as I had these semi unrealistic hopes that this move would be different in that all my projects would be done before we moved. Add being pregnant to that and very overprotective husband… I can’t do some of these projects without “supervision” like I would have before. So… though it will be slower going… it does mean that my project posts will be very current.

Among the house projects I have, now I have a new room to focus on- a baby nursery. That was not something I was expecting to do.

So…. Needless to say, I think this blog will be starting a bit sooner- I hope to be very consistent in my posting about all things, US. Faith, Family, Kids, Budget, Food, Craft, DIY, Design, Pups, and whatever else might creep into my very busy mind.

Thanks for following!

Expect fun new changes with the page as I am constantly updating the design. OH Big thanks to Maria at Style Graphic Design on Etsy for my cute logo. Wait till you see my logo for my homemade dog treat line… SO CUTE!

Happy Fourth of July All!
