Andre and Katrina

It is hard to believe it has been 2 years. They have gone by so fast. I guess it’s true that time flies when you are having fun, because they have been the most fun! Two years ago today I said “I do” to the man of my dreams. It has been an adventure for sure!

Andre, I just wanted to tell you in front of the world (ok, so I know the world doesn’t read our blog but lets just pretend they do today) what an amazing husband you have been to me.  The way you love me is so Christ-like! You are so patient and sacrificing. I love the way you hold me when I cry or how you are always looking for ways to make my day better or easier. When I am sick you take care of me. It makes me feel special the way you have made it a point to take me out at least one meal a week to let me have a break from cooking.  You always pick up Joshua’s toys before going to bed so I start the next day out with a clean living room.  You are an amazing encourager.  You always have a kind word to say if I have had a rough day. You are a great provider and manage our money so well! I picked a ‘good one’! Thank you for being such a godly husband!

You are setting such an wonderful example to our son on how to care for his mom (and later, sisters and wife)! Like the way he comes over when I sit down and starts trying to massage my feet like his daddy does. He is such a loving little boy and I know it is because he sees and experiences his dad being a very loving man.

You are my best friend. It is so much fun to spend everyday with your best friend! I didn’t think it was possible but I love you so much more today than the day I married you. I continue to fall deeper in love with you everyday!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Hi Everyone,

I figured it was time for a new post.  We very much enjoyed our Holidays and seeing lots of family. Thanksgiving was spent with Andre’s parents John and Donna, brother Luke and Uncle Brent, Aunt Annette and Cousin Joan in Ohio. We had an absolutely wonderful time and enjoyed an early Christmas celebration with them.

We spent Christmas in New Mexico with my family.  Joshua and I were able to go out early (Colton flew out to fly back with us). Andre came out to join us  a little later. It was wonderful to see all my family and meet my new little nephew Caden Levi. Both sets of grandparents were able to meet Joshua for the first time along with all the aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.  Joshua did great flying!

After we got home, we worked on getting well (we picked up some sort of bug while there) and resting. We are still working on getting on a good schedule. Joshua has decided that he does not want to sleep through the night anymore…  We are working on trying different things to get that to happen. In the meantime, I am quite exhausted.  I have defiantly been taking a nap in the morning when he takes his morning nap.

I am really enjoying my MOPs group! It has been a lot of fun to get to know some other moms at our church. It has been very encouraging and uplifting.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it has been a pleasant surprise. The topics are always so helpful and encouraging. They are full of God’s truth.

Being a wife and mom is truly amazing. I am loving every minute of both of those responsibilities. Is it always easy? No.  Is life perfect? No.  Do I always do a great job? No. But  God is so faithful,  my husband is very gracious, and Joshua is just a bundle of joy.  I am so blessed!

Joshua will post soon with all this new accompishments. I don’t want to steal his thunder. We might have some new pictures up by then too! (I am so not good at putting up new pics…)

I won’t give an update on Andre and maybe he will post one soon (I love you, honey!)

Until next time…

my two guys snoozing

What has been happening in my life? I am enjoying being a wife and mom so so much! I love it! Andre is an amazing husband and Joshua is such a sweet little guy. There are adjustments involved in being a mom like all changes, but they are worth it. I am going to be a part of the MOPS program at our church this year. I am really looking forward to that. I think it will be good to get to know other stay at home moms in our church.

It seems things have been so busy lately. We went to PA last weekend (first overnight trip for Joshua) to surprise a good friend who is in the army and fixing to be deployed. It was a lot of fun and Joshua did great! He was very popular. Dad, Mom and Katie are coming next week for several days! I can’t wait to see them! It will be so so good. I think there is a beach trip planned in there somewhere! Yay!

Mostly I am just going about day to day doing homemaker things. Some days I look back and think “what did I accomplish today?” Time is flying. I can’t believe how big Joshua is getting. He really likes to smile. He started laughing at us as well. There is nothing as contagious as a baby’s laugh. You just have to laugh with them. He decided he does like baths now, splashing in the water is fun. He is trying to roll over, but hasn’t figured that one out yet. He is so cute!

So that seems to be my life right now and I am loving it! God is so so good to us!

Until next time,

So, Andre told me I had to post on here too… Any of you who read my xanga know I was not very faithful at posting. I do hope to be better on here. I am looking forward to having this family blog site. I think it will be fun. OK, I think that is all for now… Stay tuned to see a post from Joshua coming soon!
