Baby Hale 4/29/09 - We love you so much!
First we found out that we were pregnant with our first child in January last year and lost him/her 17 weeks later in April. That was one of the most hardest times in our lives. But with God's love and your constant prayers Mike and I have been able to get through that Valley one step at a time. I still think about our first all the time and miss him/her so much. I can't wait to see and hold him/her in heaven! Our family finally will be complete.
In March we went to Mexico with our great friends Shaun and Courtney. It was so amazing and I can't wait to go back some day. When you go on vacation the time is never enough you always want to stay longer especially when you are having a great time!
In the summertime Mike started school to be a Registered Nurse. A long journey that will pay off not only for him but us as a family. He is going to make a great Nurse and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us on that journey!
Like every every summer Mike played baseball and I am his biggest fan!
At the end of the summer my Grandma Janice came to visit us in August for a week. We had not seen her since our wedding four and half years ago. It was so nice to see her and give her a taste of our life here in Seattle. I think she enjoyed herself and I would LOVE to have her back she is a kick in the pants!
23 Weeks!!
Just a week after my grandma left, Mike and I found out that we were pregnant with our second child!! What a true blessing from God! I thought that we would have been trying a lot longer than it actually took.
We are so excited and can't wait to meet our baby in April this year!
In November I celebrated my 30th birthday! I can't believe I am 30 years old, it is so crazy! When I was a kid that was SOO old! Well I don't feel old, I feel as young as I want to be without being too ridiculous. I think??
In December before Christmas we went to Las Vegas for a babymoon. it was a great time to get away and enjoy each other before the baby arrives. I wasn't to big to be too uncomfortable but boy the walking was killing me! We had experienced enough of it to not go back for a couple of years.
We did so much this last year that I can't mention everything. You will just have to read my blog all the way through. ;)
We spent New Years Eve with our friends at Shaun and Courtney's house. It was great! We had fondue, lots of snacks, games, and of course apple cider for me and margaritas for everyone else that wanted them. Mike and I ended up staying the night over at Shaun and Courtney's, good thing because we probably wouldn't have left until 2am.
I can safely say that Mike and I are both looking forward to this new year and what God has in store for us. It will be a new exciting and scary chapter but, with God being the center of our family all things can be done.
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song." - Psalm 28:7
tish, I'm so proud of you. Stay strong. Love you girl!
