4 years ago yesterday, I married this man:
And even though the last 4 years have had a lot of ups and downs, we are still going strong and are excited to be expecting Edward any day now. Time sure does fly.
So here is to many more years as a disgustingly happy couple. 😛
We flew to California on June 27 and had a wonderful 9 days of vacation. The main reason for going was to attend Kendra’s Wedding in Boonville. It was nice to visit all sorts of family at the wedding. Darrell was honored to play the bagpipes for the beginning of the wedding. Here are some of the photos we got.
We got into Boonville in the afternoon on June 29 and hung out for the rehearsal dinner and everything.
Then came the Wedding on Saturday:
Overall we had a ton of fun and we very happy that we were able to make it to the wedding. Congrats to Kendra and Lee on their beautiful wedding celebration!

Hey Y’all!
Like I posted in the last post, we have been really, really busy these last few weeks. We have been so busy that I am going to split our month of May into two posts. I am going to make a separate post for the second half of the month and for the nursery that we have been working on. So here ya go…….
I went to Seattle the end of April for my cousin Joni’s wedding. It was great seeing all the family again and also getting to hang out with our niece. She is getting so big!!!! I didn’t take a lot of photos, but my sister Jenni did and said she would send hers to me. I don’t expect to get them until August when they come out for baby, but we shall see.
After I got back from Seattle, Darrell and I went to our local farmers Family Farm Day. We had a really nice day. It was a little bit on the hot side, but at least there was a small breeze that made it bearable. I drank a ton of water!!! We got to see the new goslings, the piglets, the new baby donkey, and all of the other animals they had. They definitely had a very baby friendly Spring! They had a little walk you could take through the tree area behind their house, and there was a mulberry tree with a bunch of fallen mulberries. The butterflies were just loving it! If you stood still long enough, they would land and you could get fairly decent photos of them. Darrell stood there for like 5 minutes trying for some photos. He got some good ones, but there were a lot of photos to go through. 🙂
Then, next on our list of busy, Darrell went to Orlando for a work conference.
After Orlando, he flew straight to California for the Annual Boonville Beerfestival that we do every year. I skipped it this year, but we hope to bring the whole family to it next year. He had a lot of fun and enjoyed hanging out with friends and his cousin Kirsten and her friends.
And, after all of that, we were only half way through our month of May. Yes we did actually have to work during this month, so it has definitely been crazy busy. More photos in the next post from the month of May.

I finally got all of our pictures on the computer. Then I realized that we actually didn’t take that many photos. I guess that means that we had fun right? 🙂
Here are the pictures of Pixel. The one on the left is of Pixel, the one of the right is of Pixel’s heartbeat.
We headed up to Malibu on December 27 so Darrell could go surfing with Tom
We then went to see Anders, our nephew:
We spent New Years in Palm Springs with family:
We also saw our niece Hazel:
And that was pretty much it for vacation. We mainly just sat around hanging out. We saw a lot of other people, but like I said in the beginning, we were having to much fun actually hanging out that we forgot to take pictures.
I hope everyone is enjoying their respective Thanksgivings. I know we are. We were not able to travel for this Thanksgiving as we are planning on traveling for Christmas. We decided to spend the day at home making our own small(-ish) meal and enjoying each other.
These are the things I am thankful for:
1.) My wonderful, loving, funny, caring, passionate husband.
2.) Our Family & Friends
3.) Our Cats – Zeddicus & Poleeko – who always seem to know when we need a good laugh.
4.) Science and our RE. – They are what make it possible for Darrell and I to do what we can to try to have a baby. Without them, we would be forced to adopt.
5.) I am also Thankful for everyday that I wake up and go to sleep. We might not like it here in Texas specifically, but we force ourselves to succeed so we will someday be able to move back. So I am thankful as each day comes because it means we are one day closer to our goal.
I hope you all have things you are thankful for. I hope that you express your thanks in many ways instead of just on this holiday.
