A day I'll never forget

October 13th is a very special day on our calendar. It marks 9 years since Mikey and I's first date in Waco (wow, we've known each other a long time) and 6 years since he asked me to be his wife. I sure do love this guy.


Flashbacks to our engagement night October 13, 2003

Another special memory from October 13, 2008 is when we heard the news "It's a girl!". I will never forget the moment when we saw our precious baby moving all about on the sonogram and hearing the doctor tell us we were having a girl. Watching her sonogram video over again brings tears of joy to my eyes. All the memories from that moment come flooding back to me and now when I watch the sonogram I see the baby on the screen as the Ava we know and love. I am reminded just how truly blessed we are to have this little one in our lives.


Here is the post that I wrote after hearing the news and the sonogram video! "It's a Girl"





I love having a girl that I can dress up in lots of pink and put leg warmers on (my new favorite girl item, aka Baby Legs)!!! I just want to squeeze those cute legs!




And, in honor of "It's a girl day" we are eating pink cupcakes (for awhile aparently)
