Milestones/ Things to remember in 2011

2011 was a GREAT first year of "firsts"....

  • It was Michael and I's first year of marriage and first year of living with each other, and well were both still alive so I'd say it went pretty well. ha! :)
  • We went on two vacations, Cabo San Lucas and Gulf Shores, I perfer Gulf Shores- they have american food and normal ketchup!
  • We had to put in a new air conditioner--- That wasn't cheap!
  • I had my first flat tire, and wouldn't ya know it happened to be on a night when the hubs was working late, so I had to call the other most important man in my life, my Dad!
  • In August we found out that my sister was expecting!! Only three more months until little Miss arrives!
  • For fathers day we surprised my dad with tickets to the Alabama V. Arkansas game in Tuscloosa- I will never forget the look on his face- he was sooo SHOCKED!
  • In September we headed down to Tuscaloosa for a long weekend of Bama football- It was one of the greatest weekends of 2011- My Dad and Michael were in heaven- My dad was worse than a kid at Christmas- It was great though.
  • That Sunday we got back from Tuscaloosa (9/25/11) I came home and decided to take a pregnancy test--- annnnd the test was POSITIVE! This is our BIGGEST/ GREATEST news of 2011. 
  • Erica decided to do 3 more years with the Coast Guard and will possibly be moving closer to home--- Like Chicago and you don't know how happy this makes me, she will only be a few hours away! :)
Two of these "firsts" will soon be two blessings of 2012, and I cannot wait to see what else the new year has in store for us! Michael and I didn't do a thing for new years, we ordered some food and ate at my mom and dads, I did my little sisters hair and makeup and then we came home and I was probably asleep by 10 or so.  Maybe next year we'll do dinner, but I'll probably want to take the babe with us! :)

Side note- I have a Dr's appt on Weds- We'll find out if baby is a boy or girl (as long as he/she cooperate)!!! I'm so excited.  Michael took off the afternoon as well. It will be a BUSY week around our house, My dad's birthday is Tuesday and my little sis goes back to Key West Friday! :(((

Hope you all had a great New Years! :)
