Our Weekend

So, obviously I didn't make it thru the 30 days about me. That's just too much!

We had a really good weekend this past weekend. Ben's parents were here. We decided to take Harrison to the zoo in New Orleans and he had a good time!







This is a total side note but I found it interesting...The elephant in this picture weighs 10400 lbs. They are pregnant for 2 years. 2 years, really??? That's entirely too long! Then, their babies weigh anywhere from 100-500lbs! I'm sooo glad I'm not an elephant!!!!

Sunday we took Harrison to the trunk or treat at our church. He had fun once he caught on. He didn't like his costume and wasn't sure what people were putting in his bucket, but once he caught on he enjoyed it! He was a cute dalmation!






Notice anything different???



Yes, Harrison is going to be a big brother! We are excited! I'm due June 2nd which means the baby will be about 2 months before Ben gets to meet him/her, but we will make it. I'm not the first military wife or last to have a baby while her husband is deployed!

Until next time...

Day 5: Definition of Love Day

Okay...I'm guessing they are referring to Valentine's Day. I'm not a big fan. Why do you need a special day to show someone how much you love them? I would hope that everyday all the people that I truly love know it. Ben and I don't really do Valentine's Day. We don't go out, buy for each other, or anything. I do try and get Harrison a little something but that's it. Sorry to be boring!

Day 4: What I ate today

Sadly, all I ate today was a Bacon Spud from McAlister's. I was off work and for some reason when I'm off I have horrible eating habits. I'm sure I'll eat more tomorrow!

Day 3: My Parents

Some of you may or may not know that I'm adopted. My parents got me when I was 3 months old. They got to "pick" me...ha! If you know me, then most of you know the situation my parents are in. Most people that find out say my parents are angels. They don't think so...they just do what they have to do! My sister's 3 kids live with my parents and have for 8 years now. My parents have a 12, 10, and 5 year old. Most days their house is CRAZY but they wouldn't have it any other way! Up until this year, my mom homeschooled the kids, but this year they have returned to school. I grew up with 3 siblings and we were all pretty much spoiled. Now it's great watching our parents spoil our kids! They have 7 grandkids now! Each one is so special to them! I'm very lucky I ended up with my parents!

Day 2 Your First Love

Before meeting Ben in August 2005, I thought I had loved one other person, but after meeting Ben I know I didn't nor did that person honestly love me. I have to say that when Ben and I met, we just knew would would end up together. We have only been married 3 years, almost 4, but we have been thru a lot together. We have moved twice in that 2 years which everyone knows is stressful. We have had our first child in that 3 years. Ben is the life of our household. He's the crazy one that makes us laugh. I love watching him be a daddy...He's an awesome dad! To see him be that loving and patient with Harrison makes me love him even more.
