Happy Fourth!

I know this is a couple days late, but happy 4th of July!

In case you didn't know, the Fourth is my favorite holiday.

We got to go to Sierra Vista and visit the Clawsons

(Eloise, Mike, Kimber, Lance, Chelsea, Brodie, and Jett.)

It was so fun being with the family!
We went to Bisbee to watch the boxcar races,

Pizza Hut for an all you can eat buffet of pizza, pasta, salad, and cinnamon sticks,

and just hung out watching The Sandlot and playing games.

I picked up the guitar and jammed for the first time in a while,

and remembered how much I love it.

We drove home on the 4th because I had school the next day.

I was pretty bummed out that we had to go,

but it made it a little better seeing parts of firework shows from the road.

Basically life is good, everyone was safe and happy and free.

I am so grateful to live in the United States of America!

Pickles and Lemons

Two of the things I have been "craving" most are pickles and lemons.
I put craving in quotations because I have always loved pickles and lemons.

Want proof? Look at my favorites on the sidebar.

I swear I didn't edit it.

Anyway more important matters. . .

Annie Fanny Clifford got married.

She looked stunning. No Joke.

Want proof? Bickitty Bam.

It was so fun seeing all my friends!

Even the ones who have moved away (Lauren and Vianca)

And now Annie has joined them.
This is a shout out to Kristina Clifford and Heidi Larsen...lets play.

(Sorry Lauren apperantly you are black now)

Other exciting news includes:

*Me being 15 weeks along now

*Us finding out what we are having in 3 weeks

*Old news but still exciting...Tanner graduated.

*Thomas starts at WP Carey this fall, go devils

*We are looking to buy a house! Yay for being adults.

Here is a baby bump picture for your viewing pleasure courtesy of the self timer.

Its Kinda a Funny Story...not the movie

So this year on April Fools Day I pranked Thomas and told him that I was a week late . . .

Then (here's the kicker) 2 weeks later I really was a week late . . .

At that point I panicked and made Thomas take me to Walgreen's

and bought about 1 million tests . . . they all came out with the same result.

. . . So guess what?

I am pregnant!

yes that is a + sign

. . . Yes it was unexpected, but we are excited!

I am 11 weeks today.

So I guess it serves me right for trying to fool my husband.

And thinking about it now . . . I was pregnant when did that.

Tacos

Sometimes I make like 10 tacos for just Thomas and myself.

Its fabulous. And I buy Mexican soda. And make salsa.

I love taco nights.

Good News

So life has been treating Thomas and I well the last week or so.

First we got our tax returns back . . . um holler.

Then Thomas got an interview for a job.

Then he got a second interview for the same job.

Then he got a call that said he got the job! Yahoo!

So as of April 11 he will be working at Bank of America.

We are so excited and grateful.

Also my sister in law Annie had her baby. . .

Little Elaina. She is beautiful. So much hair.

Such big squeezable/kissable cheeks. We love her so much!

So in conclusion, life is bueno.

*P.S. would anyone be interested in playing a game of softball? The weather is perfection. And we went to the batting cages the other day and it was fun.
