Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

Josh and I went on a little getaway to Mexico last week. It was so much fun. It was beautiful, warm and just nice to be together alone. We did get stuck in the middle of hurricane Ida, but we still had a great time despite the winds and rain. We stayed at an all inclusive resort which was perfect. The resort was gorgeous and the food was amazing. Josh loved Mexico especially, because he was able to speak spanish for an entire week. It was good for him to freshen up on his skills.

Welcome Home Josh!

Well Josh finally made it home a few weeks ago. It was the best homecoming anyone could have asked for. It really felt like Christmas morning, but much better of course. Josh came home on the main body, so he got to sit in first class for 24 hours. Lets just say he was nice and rested by the time he got home. It is so great to have my husband back in town. He is so wonderful.

It's a .................

So we are having a little girl. Josh and I are so excited. Sorry I have been a little behind on my posts, but I thought I would let everyone in on our good news. Time to start buying all the cute girly stuff I can find. Watch out Josh :)

Our Busy Life

Josh and I have been so busy the last month preparing for him to leave. We do have some good news, we are expecting and the baby is due February 7th. We are so excited. This summer has been filled with lots of trips and just spending time together. Here are a few pictures from our fun adventures this summer. Hopefully we will find out the gender of the baby in the next couple of weeks. I think I am going to email Josh the picture and let him guess. Just something fun for him since he can't be here for it.

Thunderbird Reception

Josh and I also had the opportunity to go to a reception put on by the church for the Thunderbirds. It was an amazing experience. We got to meet Elder L. Tom Perry, Elder M. Russell Ballard, Elder Robert D. Hales, and Elder Richard G. Scott. They have such a spirit about them. Afterwards the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang a tribute concert for the Air Force. They always give me the chills when they sing.

The Air Show

Josh and I had the opportunity to help with the Air Sow last weekend. We sold gear from the squadron . It was so much fun to be right in the middle of everything. Although I have to admit that by Sunday I was ready to be done. The Thunderbirds put on an amazing show this year, and I was so excited my family came to watch. The weather was great on Saturday, a little rainy and cold on Sunday. Whats up with the weather this week? I feel like we live in Seattle or something.

Mother's Day

So Mother's Day is always a little harder for me. I managed to make it through Sunday with only a few tears. Saturday we had a huge birthday party for my dad. It was really fun to get together with only the adults. My dad's wife made chinese food which was sooooo delicious. Afterward all of us went down to my mom' s grave and gave her some flowers and talked about how wonderful she is. Sunday Josh and I had his family over for dinner. We grilled and played games. It was really nice to have all of them over, and for once Josh's mom got to rest and didn't have to worry about cooking.
I just wanted to say how thankful I am for my mother and all she taught me throughout the years. You never realize how important someone is to you until they are gone. I wish everyday I could tell her how wonderful she is, but all I can do is cherish the memories and try to be like her with my children.
