Sweetest Day

Today is sweetest day. To read all the facts and history click here. Sweetest day is a day to celebrate all the people that make your life special. So here is my little shout out for all the awesome people in my life.
First of all there are my awesome parents. They have worked so hard for my whole life trying to raise me well and give me everything I need. They are really awesome and have been so patient with me. I couldn't have asked for better parents.
There are also my siblings, they have been so kind to me my whole life and have always been there when I need someone to talk to. Both of them would go out of their way to help me out with something. They truly are amazing people. I love them both to death.
Then there is my awesome husband. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He is truly amazing. Every day I think about how lucky I was to find him. He helps me in so many different ways, he fills in for my weaknesses and he makes my life incredibly amazing every day. I just love him to death.
Then of course there is the tiny little baby...we don't know much about him or her yet but we love our baby to death, and he/she definitely is a very special person in both mine and Josh's life.

Last but not least there is all my family and friends, you are all so special to me, and I wish I could write about each and every one of you, but I just have to many awesome people in my life to even count. So thanks for being so amazing, I love you, and happy sweetest day!




So what are we doing today for sweetest day? Well we are actually partying. Josh had to work this morning, but he is just getting off. We are going to carve pumpkins, eat pumpkin pie, cook pumpkin seeds, and watch halloween movies. It's going to be an amazing day. We both woke up this morning so happy and refreshed and excited to spend time together this afternoon doing some fun things :)
Pictures to follow!

But we're happy in our bubble...

I have been inspired by great blog writers to continue writing on my blog. Today's topic is our bubble. Josh and I have been married for 4 months now and we are still in our little honeymoon bubble. We are perfectly content with just each other, we don't need to go places, or do things with other people, we are just so content being each others best friends. Our life is near from perfect, but it feels perfect to us (or should I say me?)
We are in such a routine. We wake up, lay in bed and talk for a few minutes, then I quickly get up and run off to work. I come home to the dishes done and lunch made by my sweet husband, we chat for an hour then i'm back off to work. I come home and Josh is at work, so I make dinner, attempt to clean up our room (how does time fly so fast? Oh ya...Pinterest) and then I go and pick him up from work :) We get home, eat dinner, then pick a movie or tv show and snuggle until its time to go to bed. However, lately I have not been sleeping hardly at all. So around 1am i'm usually waking Josh up talking him into going out in the living room with me to watch a TV show or something until im tired again (I can't go out in the living room alone...our house is to big, and what if there is a murderer or something hanging outside our window?) So he gets up and hangs out with me until we go back to bed (isn't he such a good man?) I love our little bubble!
Speaking of bubble's, i'm getting quite a little bump popping out. My shirts that were more form fitting before I was pregnant are starting to not fit. My undershirts are silkier and so within a half hour of getting dressed my shirt is popped up over my tummy. Unfortunately sometimes I don't notice until a little while later :/ Luckily due to morning sickness (?) other areas of my body are getting very skinny (woohoo!) I didn't know if you wanted to get skinny all you had to do was get pregnant!
We are super duper excited to bring another little person into our bubble :) We might have to kick the dog out to make room in the bubble, but he's already at risk of exile. So we'll see where that ends up.

Nevada??????

I'm so stoked for the family reunion. I love my job, but it will be nice to take a few days off, fly to Nevada, spend some time with loved ones, and relax!
I am counting down the days. How many days? 23 more days!!!
I am SO excited to find out if our baby is a girl or boy! The chinese pregnancy calender said it would be a boy, along with a few other factors we are convinced it is a little man. But we shall see!
If you haven't taken the time to vote...please vote -------------->

$90 in taxs?! Well ok!

So I am looking into booking a flight for me and Josh to go to Nevada the first week of November for the family reunion and to find out what Baby Wray will be :) BUT.... our flight for both of us round trip is just as much as gas would cost. So yay! We save a 12 hour trip in the car on possibly icy roads. But NOT YAY! Because the government is insane. I just got charged $90 in tax's. Yes. That's right. Ridiculous? I think so. Has anyone looked into these charges airlines are giving us? They have a September 11th charge (so now WERE paying for September 11th?!) They also have a departure tax. A facility usage fee. Government tax (which I can understand). Baggage Tax. Booking tax. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I know for a fact 4 years ago we didn't have to have all these taxs. Just saying. Cough cough cough. This is crap.

The Wild Ride

We cooked a can of beans on the burner last night. Yup. That's right. We have highly considered poaching a rabbit or deer...or even our neighbors cow this week. Time to go shopping? I think yes.

On another note I think I may be starting to get a small baby bump. Either that or i'm just getting fat (not....we have no food in our house). Whatever it is its very uncomfortable.

Also as you see over to the right top corner ----------------->
that we have now opened a poll on whether our baby will be a girl baby or boy baby. Please go vote :)


Love you all <3

Strange things are happening to me..

strange strange things (click here). This song has become my theme song over the past few weeks. Strange things are definitely happening to me, no doubt about it. But they are good strange things, strange things that will lead to one very cute baby in 7 months. Morning sickness has been my new enemy. It hits about 9am and leaves around 12. Then again in the evening around 6 I get it for another hour. My hair is growing out BLONDE? I have this blonde ring around my head from my roots. So weird. On top of that I don't like food anymore. The sight or thought of food makes me very nauseous. It has become a chore to eat (I never thought I would hear myself say that). Also I'm SO TIRED all of the time. Working full time is horrible for me right now. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will start getting over all of that.

We went in for our first ultrasound yesterday. How exciting is that? We were both overly ecstatic when we saw our little baby's heart beating. There is nothing more sound than seeing your baby and knowing he is perfectly healthy.

We are so blessed and so happy :)

Diary of a mad black woman!

Well not quite... I'm not black....but it could definitely be called "Diary of a mad pregnant woman". So here comes my rant for the day. PREPARE!
Ugh. I am so tired of the Facebook scene. I am sick of reading everyones DRAMA! Did we not graduate from middle school here people? I guarantee this world used to be 10 times less dramatic before Facebook came along. So many people say "If you don't like it then delete your account". I totally would ...except there are people on there that are hundreds of miles away that me and Josh love very much and this is the best way to keep in touch. So nobody try offering up that tidbit of advice, cause we love you all to much to just not Facebook stalk you :)

On a hypocritical note I would like to document the lovely loveliness we experienced last week. I'm pretty sure we got the full serving of being an adult. So we rented a house...and were told we could move in Saturday. So we pack up ALL of our stuff friday night etc etc. Then I text our landlord and say "Hey we will be there tomorrow afternoon." she responded "Ok, sounds good:)"
So we show up and the current tenants hadn't even started PACKING. Holy swiss I was so mad. But we just brushed it off and went and lived with Josh's parents for 3 days. We show up again on Tuesday to the house and NO progress has been made. So we have all of our stuff we have ever owned in one room that we are also sleeping in, eating in, and living out of, because there stuff was still ALL over the house. Not one room was empty of their stuff except the one we were living in. Anywhooooooo. So then we find out the black mold in the bathtub wreaks every time it gets wet, none of the outlets in the house work, and the carpet cleaners were supposedly  supposed to come about 7 different time (and they never showed up) Sketchy? Uhhh Yahhh. Luckily everything we had was still packed away into all our boxs and bags. All week Josh kept saying "This is just the storm before the calm" and I really really reallyyyyyy wanted to see the calm, but I couldn't quite yet until Friday night.  We found an ADORABLE house. We LOVE our landlords. And Chevy is having the time of his life. We are so dang blessed.

So now this brings me onto my rant about trials. EVERYBODY has trials. They aren't all the same exact road. But we are all given the same amount of trials. Nobody is tested harder than others. The point is we all have our stuff. Don't think that others are having the time of their lives when you're going through misery. Everyone has worries, concerns, family issues, and trials. This is life. This is why we're here. And the point is to realize who has walked the same exact path we have. There is one person who will ALWAYS understand how you exactly feel, and there is no better feeling in the world knowing that there is someone by your side who knows your pain and suffering, your wants and needs, your hopes and dreams.

We love our lives :)
