Alaska here we come!!!!

So these past couple of days have been so crazy! Bryce calls me and tells me you want to go to Alaska? And I was like HECK YES ( Ive been watching the Sarah Palin show) Then he said ok let me tell you why. Someone in his company had orders to Alaska he couldnt take so they told him find another soldier with the same rank and marital status. He came to Bryce and asked him. He said he would love to but he had to ask me. Well you saw my answer. Then we got our hopes up and they told us well its not going to work...it was less then a 5 percent chance.

Fast forward to last night at 10 pm. He calls and says last chance of backing out! and I was like what? He said the commander came up to him and said you moving to Alaska? Bryce came back with I sure would love too. But thats out and he had a confused look on his face and told him no I just got your orders faxed to me! So he asked again last chance to back out! Holy crap... Never thought this would happen but it sure is. With me or without me and im so ready for a new adventure with my hubby!

2011 will be a exciting year! New baby, new state!

Please Please give me some advice for a move that long. We will be doing it ourself. Also if you have any friends in Alaska and you know any advice please pass it along it would be so great!

WOW!

Oh my goodness I cant believe its been a month since I have done a post. Ive been in a slump lately and just really cant get out of it.... Here are things that have happened in the last month.

-Uncle cracked open his scull and was in the hospital for 18 days.
-Grandfather went back into the hospital for a twisted intestine.
-12 weeks pregnant and just felling fat not pregnant!
-Found out for sure Bryce wont be coming home til February for sure.
-This deployment is getting really hard (i think cause of all the hormones)
-Got a new truck so we could make room for a baby.
-Celebrated our 3 year anniversary thousands of miles away from each other.
-Bryces birthday is this month and my birthday is the first of December and without him they are going to suck!

And truefully Im ready for the holidays to be over cause what is the holidays with out your love. Sorry for being such a sucky post.

Fun baby gender predictions...

So Bryces cousin asked if I have looked on the Chinese Lunar Calender to see what I was having... I didnt even know what it was so she just asked my age and the month I conceived in... Well it said a BOY! I dont trust these at all but atleast their fun! I really want a boy but would be happy with either... Then there was this old wives tail that if you take a string and needle and dangle it above your tummy or your left wrist it will go in a circle (which is a girl) or side to side (which means a boy)and that way tells you the gender of your baby... Well that one also said it was a boy... So we will just see in January and Febuary if these ancient crazy gender predictions are right...


Have any of you done these gender predictions? Were they right?

Grandmas are the best!

So my mother loves to sew and before I got pregnant I told her your going to make the baby this crib blanket! Well now that Im pregnant I can pick out colors.



Isnt it so adorable... We just have to pick nuetral color since I wont know the sex of the baby til we are already back in TN. But lets just say Im sooooooo excited!


Plus Bryce will be making the crib so this baby will have lots of special things from everyone!

Amazed

I'm so happy and amazed at the blessings that me and Bryce have received from our Heavenly Father. Not only this pregnancy but him giving me a wonderful man to take care of me and our future kids! For a stable job that my husband is guaranteed to keep. For a wonderful family that we are surrounded by. Friends that are here for us. One quote that sticks out in my mind right now is


"Things that truly give us happiness are NOT things!"

EXCITING NEWS!

Not only was our R&R amazing for so many reasons but we were able to make a BABY! We had been trying for about 6 months before Bryce left for Afghanistan and no luck. Things were just working in our favor in so many ways that it all worked out! Im due in May 2011 and lets just hope and pray we have no complications and everything goes a smooth as it possibly can. Bryce will be home when around my 20 week mark so he will be there when we find out the sex!

Went and saw the doctor and Im 5 weeks along today and they said just to keep care of myself!

Oh how heavenly father works in many ways and when its time you will get your little family!
