19 Weeks!



Wow, time has passed so quickly. To think that nineteen weeks ago Cassie and I learned that she was pregnant. The thought of being a father just makes me so happy. Cassie and I went on a road trip a couple of weeks ago to visit some of my family and to celebrate our anniversary. We went to Disneyland and stayed all day! There was a lot of rides that we got to walk right onto because it wasn't busy in the morning when we got there. We just left our car at our hotel and only had to walk a block to the park. It was so nice because Cassie didn't have to far to walk to get back that night. We rode tons of rides and both knew that this would be one of the last things we did with just us before our life totally changes. We also went to Huntington Beach there in southern CA with my mom and sister. It was such a good time. I got a really nice sunburn and peeled for days. We visited my Granny briefly and went by Jeremy's missionary field and got gas and looked around for two missionaries on bikes. We would have loved to have seen them and me to finally meet my new brother. The other special place the I took Cassie as we were traveling north to my Grandpa's was Hearst Castle. If you have never been it is worth the effort. What a gorgeous place! Cassie loves castles and I thought she would enjoy being taken to one. We spent two hours just wandering the grounds and didn't have time to take any of the other inside tours. There are several guest houses that are magnificent on the outside and the pool there is so awesome. There are a lot of statues and things that Mr. Hearst had carved or made or even bought in Europe and had brought over. Not a bad looking cattle ranch! Then we went on to Sacramento and visited with my Grandparents and had a wonderful time. It was a great trip and it was great to have Cassie introduced to family before she got to big. Next week though we find out the gender of our baby! That will be another blogging moment!

Exciting News

Well, it has been a while since my last update of anything in this blog. You know how it is though, now I want to be more frequent about things going on in our lives. Cassie and I have been married for eleven months now and it has been great! We have had such good times together and we are going to be parents! Cassie is nine weeks along and she is doing great! Here is the first picture that we have. Doesn't that baby look cute! That sickness stuff though creeps up on her when she doesn't expect it though and we have to watch out... She is doing really well and we are excited. So our contract is running out on our place we are at now and since we are getting an addition to our family we have decided to move into a new place with two bedrooms. We found this little place to call home for the next however long, and it may not be the best looker but we feel good in it and it is actually cheaper. We are going to miss our one bedroom though. We got spoiled because it is so big. Our new two bedroom place is a small trailer and we are going to squeeze in there with our stuff and see how it pans out. We moved our table in last night and today after work we will move in some more. Its all about finding time in our busy schedules to do the move. Thanks to the parents though for letting us use the truck while they are out of town!
