I (Kayla) am no good with keeping up with this kind of stuff. I was the girl with 14 or so diaries growing up; one for each year I could write...each containing 4 or so entries for the entire year. Needless to say, this is my feeble attempt to turn over a new leaf. My sincere hope is that this blog will be overflowing with up to date, relevant, fresh information and insights into our little family.
We shall see...
So I guess I will start with a little background information on us. My wonderful husband, Aaron and I have been married just a few months over 4 years. We were engaged at the tender age of 19 and making just enough to have the occasional burger date once a week...or so. On November 18th, 2006, when we were 20, we were married at a lovely country club, an angelic occurrence and the first of countless miracles in our married relationship. It was simple, elegant, and quaint...nothing like what I anticipated my wedding would be. It was a 9 am ceremony with a brunch reception, followed by "Goodbye, we have to be at our ship in 2 hours for our honeymoon!" Nevertheless it was perfect and a true reflection of the love us two young lovebird shared. We honeymooned on a fantastic Princess cruise ship and with that, we began new life.

Awwww, weren't we so precious...and 40 lbs lighter. :(
To make a long story short, the first year was less that ideal and involved the death of my beloved grandmother, relocation to another city, (re)starting school, living in a house that is probably now condemned (which we had to leave due to a mold infestation), and a career path change. It was rough to say the least but these last 4 years have been so much more than I could hope for. It has been a real blessing and honor to share my life with such a wonderful and loving man and I look more and more forward to the days ahead each day I wake up to a fresh day.
We are blessed immensely.
So my posts will never be this long but I figured I should have a decent intro for those who stumble upon this "world in a web of mine".
And now without further ado. THE SURPRISE!
WE ARE EXPECTING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expecting what?! A baby silly...see?
We are excited beyond measure and pray daily that God will bless this pregnancy and our baby on the way. We hope that you will stick around to enjoy the journey with us!
