No News is Good News, Right?!?!

Ok.... so once again, I've fallen off of the Blogger bandwagon.... I know... I pretty much stink at life... Hmmm-where to start? So much to catch up on... My last post was in January, so I will recap on 2010... (since the year is more than 1/2 way over, seems like a great place to begin!) It has been a FABULOUS year so far!!! (with the exception of 1 thing which I will elaborate on later) In late January, Dr. Wilson referred us to a fertility specialist. We scheduled 3 appts & they all had to be rescheduled. (due to the Dr being in meetings, surgery, out of town, etc) It drug on over the course of a couple of months so in March, we decided that we would just wait to reschedule any additional appointments. We had a few financial obligations that we needed to tend to before seeing the specialist. That was a blessing bc our insurance does not cover any type of fertility treatment, so it would have been a very expensive journey... Our financial obligations were: 1) a trip to Cancun for some of our very best friends-Dustin & Jessica's wedding-would not have missed it for the world & 2) a new house. At the beginning of March, Deke & I decided that Debbie should move closer. She also liked the idea, so she bought our house & we bought a new house in Providence-approx 1 mile from our old house. It took a while for Deke & I to get our house bc it was bank owned & they were BOOGERS, but we were finally able to close at the end of March!! Didn't move in until mid April, bc of the Cancun trip...1st week of April. Debbie loves her house & has it fixed so cute & we love our house!!

Our trip to Cancun was way too short, but I am so happy that we were able to share that special time with Dustin & Jess!!! Deke & I really had a great time & will def be going back someday-OH MY GOODNESS...it was SO pretty & the people were so hospitable! We were goofs & did not get many pics, but here are some that we were able to get...
The Mayan Sunrise-I was still in bed when I took this pic-I think it was around 4:30-5 am...

Deke & I after the wedding
We LOVED Cancun & cannot wait to go back!!!!
In June, Deke & I found out that we were EXPECTING!!!!!! We tried for so long & our prayers were finally answered!!!

I am 15 weeks and 3 days. It has been the best experience! No morning sickness & no major symptoms! I was tired the 1st trimester, but about a week before the start of the 2nd trimester, I got a much needed BURST of energy! :) I will be doing weekly posts to keep you updated on my pregnancy progress... My 1st post will be this Sunday! It will include a pic & more details!

Remember that exception I was talking about?? Collin, Lauren & Alex moved to Houston. We miss him like CrAZy, but we are so happy for Collin bc it will be an exciting chapter to add to his "book"! He is going to meet so many new friends to add to his friend bank! He is a blogger now, too...so hopefully he will do a better job at keeping up with his Blog than his Aunt Samantha! LOL! Love you Kiddo!!
