Our 4th wedding Anniversary is fast approaching and I am a bit nervous with Owen coming and things getting a bit crazy that I won’t get to post this. So I am going to post it a bit early!

I am baffled when I think about how God gave me Seth.  It seriously amazes me. I never could have imagined how God would give me exactly what I needed. We have been through so many tough things together and yet looking back I can remember so many wonderful memories that overshadow those hard times. Seth has been so strong through it all.

Tonight we are taking Jackson to see Christmas lights in our neighborhood. The first time we looked at Christmas lights together was in 2004 when I was in Houston for Christmas break during grad school and I made a last minute decision to drive all the way to Dallas to have a date with Seth. We had dinner and drove around to see Christmas lights…I had to be back in Houston by 10 AM the next morning so I had to leave at 5 AM to get back. It was probably the craziest thing I have ever done and by far the craziest thing for a boy! But so worth it. I am so glad that I don’t have to road trip to see him now!  I love living life with him. Here are some pictures of our journey!

We are going out tomorrow night for an early Anniversary dinner. We are going to go to The Peking Gourmet Inn, which my parents told us was recently on the Food Network, and Jackson is going to have an evening with his cousins! We will attempt to get a picture of us at dinner!

Although I don’t like the saying “grow old with me” (because who really wants to grow old), I am so glad that as I do grow old I will have Seth by my side.  The adventure continues!!! Love you, Seth!

A week from today we are going to meet Owen! If not sooner! At this point I am going to be having a scheduled c-section on Friday the 18th because Owen has shifted back to breach position and is supposedly HUGE!  I am to that uncomfortable point  where I feel like he can’t get out soon enough! I was hoping to not have to have a c-section but it seems that it is going to be necessary!

Everything is in place and just waiting for his arrival! My mom arrives on Wednesday so we will have a day to get to the grocery store and make sure she is settled in. I have been baking and keeping busy around the house to keep my mind off of the waiting.

We will post some tummy pictures this weekend!   We will keep you posted! Check the blog for news…last time our phone connection in the hospital wasn’t great so we will for sure update here!
