Where has the Time Gone?

It seems like yesterday that P and I were blessed beyond our wildest dreams...we are quickly approaching J's 1st birthday in March and he's about to be 10 months old. Where has the past 9 months gone? I still remember the night we were heading to the hospital like it was yesterday...we were supposed to be there at 10:00 but we weren't going to miss American Idol. And now here we are 9+ months later...he's saying words, eating just like me and starting to walk around. Growing up I don't remember time flying by as quickly as it seems to now...not sure what that's all about but I'm guessing it's part of growing up.

The one good thing though is how amazing P and J have been, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect person to raise a family with and we've both been blessed with having a great son. I love you both!

New Year's Eve

This year, we took the low-key approach. We went to dinner with 5 other couples at the Meeting Place. We all brought bottles of wine and had a great meal hanging out. We went with Travis' best friends and their wives and Jennifer and Brian came as well. I love her! Travis has some incredible friends and now they are our friends. You always have a great time with them and look forward to the next time we are all together again.

Jacob Whitlow's Family Photo Session

Jacob Whitlow is a wonderful friend of mine that I work with. Last year, he took our family pictures and we loved them so much that we asked him to take ours again this year. We started doing this for Travis' parents for their Christmas gift. I hadn't posted the pictures, because my Mother-in-law looks at our blog and we didn't want to ruin the surprise. If any of you are interested, I can pass along his information any time. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed having them taken.

What I'm thankful for from 2010

Happy New Year everyone! Everyone I know is busy telling what their resolutions are for 2011, but I wanted to take the time to share what I am most thankful for from 2010 and what I hope continues on into 2011.
I am so thankful for Jonathan Henry Schievelhud. He has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives. He's our miracle and never imagined enjoying being a mom as much as I do. I know Travis would agree with me when I say that Jonathan is the biggest blessing in our lives. I am thankful for a wonderful and helpful husband. I wouldn't have been able to get through 2010 without his love and support. I am extremely thankful to our families. We have wonderful parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc that have helped to mold who we are today and are very grateful for all of you. I am extremely grateful for my job. I work with wonderful and supportive people daily. There aren't many people that can say that they work with incredible people with incredible morals and values.
What I hope in 2011? I hope the love in our little family continues to grow and strengthen, so we raise Jonathan in a home where his parents are extremely in love and share everything. I want him to know that we are a family based on our faith and love. I pray that we have great health, wealth, and love.

Happy New Year!
Remember to count your blessings
