The Best Christmas Ever

This past Christmas will be one that I will always remember. Here is a picture that sums it all up. (look closely at my shirt!)





I have more pictures to share from Christmas, but I couldn't wait for this one any longer. Yep, we're EXPECTING!!!! Many of you have prayed for us for a long time, and I just want to say thank you so much for remembering us over these last couple of years. It has been a true test of our faith, but God's plan is perfect (it's just too bad we don't always know what it is!) I am about 7 weeks. I am due September 2. So far, I haven't had any sickness, and I hope it never comes. Keep us in your prayers that we will have a healthy baby and pregnancy. We are excited and ready for this next chapter in our lives! And in case you can't make out the words (I know, they are small), my shirt says "Future Gator" and has an arrow pointing down. My family loved it! Matt's family says they need to find me a different shirt, one that says something about "Future Vol".

YIPPEEEE!!!!! I'm so extremely HAPPY for you guys! All in God's timing:) I think God tests you with a puppy first and then if you have enough patience for that he gives you the green light:) BTW your puppy is precious!!! Keep us updated on your pregnancy!

Girl, you know how excited I am for y'all!! I still tear up whenever I think about the moment you told me on the couch. :) Yes, I am an emotional roller coaster, all due to crazy hormones from all the crazy stuff my body has gone through the last 2 years or so! :) I cannot wait to watch your little tummy grow and then to meet the beautiful little one in September! Love you all!
