It's a.....

GIRL! We had our 18 week checkup today and everything is going good. I had convinced myself that we were having a boy but I was proven wrong by the doctor. Our little girl is expected to arrive February 27th. We are super excited. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound.
P.S. Tiffany, this post is for you :)
This is a picture of her face with her mouth WIDE open.
It's a girl!

1. I have to get ready for the day in a certain order.
2. I think I was born as Yoda in a past life. I can hardly get through a story without mixing my words up. “Named must your fear be before banish it you can!"
3. I HAVE to have a book that I'm currently reading or else I go insane, and I always try to read before bedtime.
4. I have a tendency of setting something down I was just holding without remembering.
5. I always eat pizza backwards (crust first).
6. I really hate just hearing words like "fart", "burp", "stinky". It seriously grosses me out just writing it.

Photo Restoration


When I was a little girl my dad painted a picture of a lighthouse from a puzzle box. The painting was absolutely beautiful and was truly one of his best paintings ever. Later on in life he sold the painting and it was something that we very much wanted back after his passing. We have yet to find the man it was sold to. While searching online for lighthouse pictures for a project, I came across this puzzle box picture. I knew immediately that this was the picture that my dad painted from. It needed a little help, so I gave it a quick makeover. It's still a work in progress but it's much better than the original that I found online. This is the closest thing I have to the painting my dad painted about 20 years ago and I am happy that I found it.
P.S. If anyone knows a Ben Dunkley who works for HAFB, let me know :)

Toby!


September has been a big month for my mom and for the rest of my family. First, she got to celebrate her last cancer treatment. And second, her biggest wish came true...she got to meet Toby Keith!! 101.5 the Eagle set my mom up to meet Toby before his concert last night. My mom has been a Toby fan forever and this man truly helped her get through a hard year of battling cancer. I'm happy to say that Toby was super genuine and really sweet to all three of them and my mom is as big a Toby fan as ever!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!

Today is our two year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's already been two years, and at other times I can't believe it's only been two years. Justin means everything to me. I will never be able to explain how thankful I am that I met him, he is my everything.
Justin, I love you! Happy Anniversary!
