Another one bites the dust...

Yes, it is true, although I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now! I am pregnant! It was just as much a surprise to us as it might of been to you! (Maybe more!) Once we moved to Rochester I went through two jobs. My first job a absolutely hated and then I got the nanny job. I really liked the job, but my first week working I found out I was pregnant. I told the family right away and they decided that they needed someone to give them a long term committment, and that was clearly not something I could do at that point. So I worked with them until they found a new nanny. They did, and I trained her in and left without having another job lined up. Which was very scary, but at least Bryan has an income at this point! So, I applied for jobs, and went out and drove around looking for something. I drove downtown to a store that I found a couple weeks before and loved. It is a lot like Patina, if you know that store in the cities. I walked in and asked if they were hiring and luckily they were! I took an application, filled it out, interviewed the next day, met with the owner and was hired the same week. It was nice that I ended up only having a week without working before I started the new job. So that is the story!
It was very difficult for me to not tell everyone when we found out we were pregnant but I was worried and really wanted to have the first trimester under my belt before I went out and told everyone. But I do think it made it really exciting when i finally was able to tell people!
I was kinda out of the loop the first few months here, I think because if I had to talk to people it would be really hard not to tell them what was going on. So I'm sorry to everyone I was out of touch with, but now that I'm not as tired and feeling better I will be better, promise!
Now here are a couple pictures, don't laugh- I do have a belly!

14 weeks, before a walk, so not looking so good!
This is me at 15 weeks at my parents house, see the belly?
Me, my sister and my mom this weekend

So all in all things are going well, I'm feeling better and we are getting excited!
My due date is Valentines Day and on Sept. 16 we are finding out the sex!
Any guesses?

Horrible Blogger!

I know, I know... I have been horrible at updating this but since there has been so much going on it was the last thing on my mind. Anyway, lets start more recently and work our way backward!

Kata and Tim got married a week ago, and here are some pictures from the big weekend! This was the first wedding that Bryan was in and I wasn't, it was quite a change but nice to not be the busy one for once!

Okay, so now we'll change it up a little. I took pictures of our new livingroom set, along with the roses that I got for my birthday from my husband!
Upstairs furniture, we love it!
Janell and Ryker came to visit a month or so ago and one of the days Angie, Chris and Jackson came to visit us before they left to go back to New Zealand.
This picture is Ryker and Jackson getting to know each other!
The Casemore and the Pershing family saying good-bye!
I did update the last post with our garden, which was just dirt, well this was taken a while ago but here it was a month or so ago!
