"Marriage Retreat @ Gatlinburg, Tn" Feb 2012

So I wanted to go to a marriage retreat that the army provides for couple and my husband surprised me and signed us up. On these retreats we have workshops on how to strengthen our marriage as well as they provide us time to spend quality time with our spouse. The best part is that they pay for it all except for food and gas to drive there. The workshops were great and were very helpful. Being married to a spouse that is in the military can be really hard but we do it to support them and also for our country. This picture above is the room we stayed in, nice huh... it had a beautiful view of the mountains when you open the curtains...
Here we are at one of the aquariums, it was so much fun...

Here we are standing in front of the we're expecting sign.... We thought it would be cute to stand and take a pic...

"Boy or Girl!" Feb. 2012

So the time We have been waiting for. Due to my husband being in the army they were doing some night mission training and since he has soldiers underneath him he had to take charge and train them. We were so angry when they told him he couldn't go with me to my appointment to find out the sex of the baby. So what we did is I went alone and had the tech lady put the sex on the cd picture if it was a girl or boy. Then when Garett would come home we would look at the pictures and find out together. It was so hard to contain myself but I did it.
Garett later arrived home around 3am and he anxiously woke me and told me lets look at the pictures I want to know what we're having. So we were flipping through the many pictures and to our surprise we found out we're having a Girl. Yes, a girl!!! Garett was so shocked cause he thought we were gonna have a boy. I was happy to see that he was still very happy and excited that it was a girl even though he was looking forward to a boy. Then we went upstairs and went to bed.

"Garett's 30th Birthday" Jan. 2012

It was my husband's birthday and I wanted to do something special for him so I decided to bake a cake and invite his best friend over to hang out with him. The cake turned out so delicious I must say. I sliced the middle and filled it with chocolate filling. I also added fresh strawberries and added some glaze on it. I'm was so thrilled that the cake turned out really good and that my sweetie loved it.

I didn't have too much money for gifts but I did my best to make this day a special day for him. I love you, Garett!!!

"15 weeks along" Jan 2012

So I haven't been doing so well keeping up with my blog but these are just updates till I get to the more recent stuff... :-) After our xmas break I decided to take some baby bump pics. I wasn't so good at this either because most of the time I felt sick. The doctor had to prescribe me some medication so that I would throw up less since I lost a few pounds. So you can imagine why I didn't take so many pictures, its hard to get all prettied up when you feel sick and so exhausted. Any who you are gonna see some weeks where I took the time to take some pics... In these pictures I am 15 weeks along. We still haven't found out the sex of the baby here yet.
Sorry if the lighting of the pics are kind of weird but the bathroom was the only place that had good enough lighting to take pictures at...
