Mail-Order Bride

"Mail-Order Bride" HAHA. I just have to laugh every time I think about this. =] So it's not a secret that Tommy is going gray. Somehow genetically (AND I do say "genetically" because I know I'M not the stressful factor in his life that causing him to gray prematurely! =P  HAHA) some men in his family have a full head of gray before they are 35. I don't mind it so much, but we talked about it and decided that Tommy has the rest of his life to have gray hair. So every once in awhile he will dye it, so that I don't look like his Asian Mail-Order Bride. HAHA
So Tommy dyed his hair. Now, there's a 5 y.o. boy at our church who's blonde hair was getting darker as he was getting older, and I said, "Hey buddy, your hair looks like it's getting darker!" and he said, "Yeah Mr. Tom's too!" HAHAHAHAHAH i LOVE this boy. He is so adorable, and I just laughed soooo hard! It was the cutest thing ever! haha. It was so funny!

Anyways, we are having a BabyGirl!!! I'm so excited! We just had another OB appointment this morning to discuss the 20wk ultrasound, and our Dr said that everything looked really good, no malformations, and she looks very healthy! PTL.

After the appointment...

  Tommy- "We make good, healthy babies."

  Me- "More like God is merciful to give us good, healthy babies."

  Tommy- "Yeah, that's probably it. Definitely it."

I know that if God gave us a child with a disability or a handicap that I would love that child no matter what, but to have a healthy normal baby is something that I pray for daily. Also, I know that God doesn't ever give you more than you can handle, and I always felt that because I'm a nurse, it'd be more of a reason God would give me that challenge. You may not understand, or think that I think weird or whatever, but I'm pretty sure it's every momma's worry that their pregnancy won't be normal. I'm just thankful that everything so far with this pregnancy has been well. =]

So that's my story and update for the day. Until my next post! =] Have a good day everyone. God Bless!

"I-I Gotta Get Outta Here"

Look at Lucy's dog! 

First time playing in snow

So we are back home in MI after spending 2 weeks in San Diego. I'm glad to be back home. It's always a nice feeling to put your bags down and just be back to your own house after being gone so long.
Our vacation to California was AMAZING, to say the least. We got to escape the cold MI weather for two weeks. Tommy didn't have to take days off because he worked remotely while we were there. This was a big help because this year, he saved up 4 straight weeks of vacation! It will be much needed because we have A LOT of trips and big events coming up this year, way more than 2011.
We did so much in SD and baby #2 enjoyed all the yummy food too.

Sea World

We went to Sea World 2x

We're ALL here! i LOVE SD Christmas weather. 

I had such a good time with my siblings this Christmas. Every time we get together, we always talk about the past, and reminisce on our "younger" years. One time, we were in church and I forgot to put my cell phone on vibrate. During the middle of the message,  I get a call and my ring tone is Relient K - "Be My Escape" and my cell phone was one of the crappy cell phones that was like one of the first to play "real" songs as your ring tone, so it was beta and only played one line of the song over and over! Of course the only line in that song that played was, "I-I gotta get outa here."  EMBARRASSING! hahah anyways, we always get a good laugh out of that one. 

I miss my brothers and sister so much already! I really hope to see them soon again.
