Happy Life, Happy Wife!

Lately I have really been counting my blessings. Our Christmas was wonderful, spent with my parents, grandma, and my brother and his fiance. I was happy that even though my parents have split and gone their separate ways they were still able to come over together and watch Rayliana open her presents. We also "adopted" a six year old beagle. He was my mom's dog but with her work schedule she hasn't been able to give him much attention and we said, "We'll take him!" He gets plenty of attention now with a toddler and another small pup!

On Christmas night, I was soooo happy I was unable to fall asleep. I thought to myself, "How lucky am I? Soon we will have another daughter and get to relive the exciting newborn stage, I get to stay home and raise both of my daughters, and Ian is blessed to have a great, stable job during these hard economic times." And of course I was excited about our new furry addition to the family! I've also had a great pregnancy so far, not a lot of unnecessary weight gain, minimal heart burn and back pain, all tests have come back negative, and Scarlett and I are just all around healthy! I've been walking around on cloud 9 and have my friends and family and of course the number one source-GOD, to thank!

Earlier this evening I was thinking how fast time flies! Since tomorrow is the last day of 2010, I was remembering this day four years ago when Ian and I first started dating. It was the last day of 2006 and he was far away in New York with friends and I was in good ol' Chino Valley with friends! We had talked several times that night on the phone and said goodbye to 2006 and hello to 2007 together, well twice due to the time change! And here we are four years later, married, second child on the way, own a house together, and spend everyday together! So here's to 2010, a great career move for me, conceiving our second daughter, and many great memories with my family and friends! May 2011 bring health, happiness, and many exciting new adventures! Cheers!
