Justin and I are excited to finally let the cat out of the bag... We are expecting!!! I am about 13 weeks along right now and feel great. We are very excited about out little addition. We had been trying for a little while and were actually starting to get discouraged, so we decided to take an extra trip to the temple that month and while there we both just had a feeling that we needed to be patient and remember that this is the lords timing more than it is ours. We left with lifted spirits like always but even more so that day. This was in February, march went by and life continued. So at the end of April I planned my trip to California to see my family for spring break and flew home. When on the plane I just felt funny kinda like I was sick which was weird I fly A LOT and have never gotten sick. My dad picked me up and I started my vacation. I can't say that I was sick or felt totally different but something was just off. Every once in a while I would just feel like someone zapped all my energy and if I didn't sleep right then I might die. But I have very tiring job and busy life so I just figured that I was over worked and really needed the break. So on Thursday the day before we were to go to Disneyland I thought that I would just take a test and see because I am a very healthy person and I just didn't feel right. So my sister and I went to target and got a pregnancy test. We wanted to keep my mom and dad from knowing what we were doing so we made some story about my sister needing a new bra for Disneyland. My dad was agitated that we were leaving because he was literally in the car ready to drive down to my aunts house. Long story short the two tests were positive I was in shock. I was so excited and scared at the same time because holy crap it is real now. but way way way more excited! It was hard though because I could not say anything so I had to keep it from my mom and dad, and Justin because I wanted to tell him in a cute way when I got home. So I kept my mouth quiet and flew home I picked Justin up from a volleyball tournament. When he got in the car I showed him a coach bag that my mom had bought me while I was home. He was like great so I told that I had a surprise for him in the bag. he thought that it was something from Disneyland. He looked and took out one of the tests and was speechless. Tears were shed I won't say by who but we are just so happy that our family is really starting. I learned through this experience that I must be patient and trust the lord. I am so grateful that I married to such a good man who will bless our family with his priesthood and be an amazing dad.
