It's a GIRL!!!!

Yep you guessed it! LOUISE IS HAVING A BABY GIRL!!! AND WE COULD NOT BE ANY MORE EXCITED!!

We went on Thursday with Louise and Dustin to find out if we were going to be having a little niece or nephew! Me, Laurie, Michelle, and Morgan were beyond ELATED about being able to see the baby on the screen and watch the baby move. After Louise and Dustin found out that brought us in and let us go through the whole process again to see what it is! AND I WAS RIGHT....IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BABY GIRL!! I cannot tell anyone the amazing feeling I got when I saw her little cha! (I just love that I know it's a HER NOW!!)

So after we got the news, it was time for Louise's regular appointment and so that meant me, Laurie, Michelle, and Morgan had to occupy ourselves til they got done and we could go eat! We decided we would go look for gender specific stuff since we were throwing her a "sex party, gender specific party" :) on Friday at lunch! Michelle wrote all about that with pictures so click here if you would like to read about our party :) We went to children's place and got Ellie her first dress.

Needless to say that this precious baby girl has 2 Aunts that are so ready to meet her, a plethora of Great Aunts, Uncle's, and Grandparents, and GREAT grandparents that are ready to meet her!!

Ellie we are so excited about you and your arrival!! You enjoy your bonding time with mommy when you get out because when you get here there will be endless lines wanting to hold you and love you. You are already loved more than you can imagine! I love you little Lizzie Lou and I pray for you and your mommy daily! :)

TODAY....

.....WE FIND OUT IF LOUISE IS HAVING A LITTLE BOY OR A LITTLE GIRL!!! (i GUESS DUSTIN WILL FIND OUT TOO :)) WE ARE SO EXCITED AND THIS LITTLE ONE WILL BLESS US ALL SO MUCH MORE THAN WE CAN IMAGINE!! i JUST CAN NOT WAIT!

My playdate with Morgan and Nate :)

So yesterday Nate and I got to watch Morgan while Michelle was working and Justin was doing school work! I was so excited! I hadn't seen her in a couple of days so I needed my Mo fix! :) I went with Michelle to pick her up, went to my house to pick up her Easter basket, or as I would like to call it her "14th Month Birthday Basket", then to drop off Michelle back at work. She wasn't really sure about leaving mommy at first but I turned on some music and we started dancing and all was good in the world of Mo again! :) 1st thing we did was go get some McDonald's. WE picked up dinner and headed to Nate's so we could "help" him wash the cars! Needless to say me and Morgan ate and watched Nate wash the cars! It was fun! Louise and Dirt stopped by on their way home to see her too! The photos below were captured throughout the night....I will narrate where needed :)

She loves helping drive Nate's truck!

Next step was to help wash it! She wasn't a big fan at first but she warmed up to it. But she kept getting distracted by Charlie, Taylor's dog. (Who is quite a bit bigger than Sadie and Splatt so she REALLY wasn't sure about him :))

She was fascinated with the suds in the water....I think she thought they were pretty.

Next we took a field trip to see Laurie and take her some food while she was in class. Morgan liked being able to get out and she knew who was supposed to be in that building...DADDY!

So to entertain Laurie and Morgan played chase around the columns :)

She liked playing with Laurie. Burned some energy.

Riding on Laurie's shoulders are always fun!

Michelle called called back as soon as we were heading over there so we need to pacify little Mo a little longer so we let her drive us around campus! She loved it!!

She was so proud of herself!

That is the little cup I brought her back from Disney World! She loved it! The little part in the middle turns and she really likes the straw!

She was beginning to wear down....

But she was so happy to see mommy!! :)

Thanks for letting us watch her Michelle!! She is so much fun!! I just love her to pieces and so does Nate. :)

I have decided to.....

...start a new hobby. Or just have a hobby period! :) I have always loved taking pictures and I have honestly thought before that I would LOVE to learn how to use a good camera and REALLY KNOW HOW TO USE IT, like with the lighting and settings and all that jazz! And so this weekend I had an epiphany, well Me, Michelle, and Louise all had an epiphany :), that I should look into photography classes. Michelle said that she would let me use her camera so I didn't have to buy one right out of the gate. I am so excited about it! There are a couple different classes I am looking at but I think right now, for finances and since I have ANOTHER huge chunk of money that is about to start being used (I will blog about that more in detail after I find out more details :)), I will just take the least expensive classes to just learn how to get the most use out of the Nikon D40 I will be using. :) So anyways I am very excited and I just know it will be so fun!! :) I have a feeling my portfolio will be full of a little girl named Morgan and maybe just maybe some cute pregnancy shots :)

Special people Part 4 :)

So in the midst of a busy week and heart wrenching week I forgot to update about my special people!

1. Michelle Bond: She is amazing. A wonderful addition to our family here in Montgomery! She is happy, fun, and always positive! It is nice to be around people that make you want to be a better person and she is one of those. She is a excellent mommie and a loving and caring wife! I am so glad that we are friends and that she lets me vent whenever I need to :)

2. Blake Allen: He is strong, brave, and courageous! He puts his life on the line so that I can sit here and write this blog...and live in the best country in the world. He loves his wife more than words can say and would do anything for anyone. He has the biggest heart and is a family man! I could not have chosen a better guy for my best friend to marry. They just fit, like they were meant to be together. I admire Blake for all he does and how selfless he is. Thank you Blake for everything you do and putting your life on the line so that I can live in the USA.

3. Taylor Allen: She is my best friend. Period. She is amazingly strong and is one of the happiest people I know. She loves me warts and all. She is always there no matter what. She has seen the good, bad and ugly of me and still wants to be my friend...and well that speaks volumes!! She is the best wife and she will be an amazing mommie one day! I am getting kinda sad that I really only have her here for 2 more months. I am excited that she will be able to be back with Blake and have a normal family life again but I am so sad that she will be leaving me. In October they are being stationed to Germany. I am so excited for her. I know she is super excited and I am just happy and nervous for her all at the same time! I will not be excited that she will be so far away but we've made it this long something tells me distance wont be an issue for us! :) And the bright side is we will have a free place to stay when we want to go over seas!! :) Love you Tay. You are the best. Thanks for ALWAYS being there no matter what. (And thanks for washing my clothes when my dryer broke...that is really the true definition of a best friend :))

My heart is hurting...

I have some friends I would really like all of you to remember in your prayers. They are going through some REALLY hard times right now and it just breaks my heart.

Also please remember me. I am having to make some big decisions and my heart is very heavy. I am trying to remember Romans 8:28 but it is difficult at times.

Have you ever wondered.....

If people just settled with who they are married to or are planning to marry? I can't seem to wrap my mind around that. Who would want to just play it safe instead of risking it and having something completely wonderful?!?! I feel like I have seen a lot of people who have just settled with that "safe" girl who does love them completely and fully but the feelings aren't exactly the same "over the fence- homerun feeling". They are just those "I should love her because she loves me so much...and I know she will take care of me." men and I just hate that. Do you know anyone like that?


THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION WITH MY LIFE AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS FROM THE PAST...NOT ANYONE HERE AND NOW.
THANKS!
