Happy 4th of July!!

Where to start.......I will start with our morning and end with our evening. Micah and I went to Boston for the day. Not sure if it was totally planned, but it worked out great!! I got a text from Micah Friday afternoon asking if I wanted to go to Boston. I of course said yes! I would never turn down a day in Boston with the love of my life.

We left town at about 9AM and took the train from Riverside straight into Boston. We got there in time to get tickets, see some guy get knocked out, eat a fully loaded sausage and make it to our seat in the top of the 1st inning. Our seats were about 25-30 rows behind home plate and in the shade! We really couldn't have asked for better seats! The last time Micah and I went to Fenway, we had similar seats just over to the right a bit more. That was also the first time Micah said he loved me. Yeah, that's where you say, ah, how romantic!

Here are some photos I took from our seats. Tell me whatcha think....

Although the Sox did not come away with a win, it was still very nice to be there and enjoy the weather. After the game, we walked to the Prudential Center, got ice cream and walked around for a bit. Then we walked to the Charles River where the fireworks were being shot off. On our way back, we took a seat in the park and talked for a while. Now being hungry, we finished our walk back to the Prudential center where we ate at California Pizza Kitchen (highly recommended).


After dinner, Micah bought me flowers, a bouquet of Pink carnations!! They were beautiful. We then started our walk to Cambridge to where we were going to watch the fireworks. We walked over the long bridge, saw a number of boats in the river, and many, MANY people awaiting the fireworks. The skyline at night there is absolutely gorgeous.

Here is a picture I got of the Prudential Center with the moon. It was just starting to get dark.

This is what I get for asking a guy to take our picture! Its not bad, but it's not what I wanted. Guess it didn't come too bad. I'm thinking I should retire that Red Sox shirt until I have the baby!!!!

We had a while to wait for the fireworks to start at 10:30 so we had plenty of time to walk around and find the perfect place to sit. We did a lot of walking throughout the whole day so my feet, back and right hip were starting to hurt. While I sat and relaxed, Micah went for a walk to find a better seat. He had found a seat on the steps right in front of MIT next to this little old lady. She was very sweet and saved the seats while Micah came back and got me.

The fireworks started at about 10:40 and we had great seats! Of course they were loud and our baby girl was wide awake and moving around!!

Here are just a few of the fireworks.....

As the fireworks were shooting off and Micah and I were having a great time enjoying spending time together, he whispered in my ear, "I love you" and then said he had to ask me a question....I was totally confused and had no idea what he wanted to ask. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!!! I of course could not hold back the tears.....when I finally controlled the tears, I said YES! He put the ring on and it sparkled and shined and fit perfect!

Here's the beauty!!!

It turned out to be the most PERFECT day/night. I could not have asked for a better way to get engaged! Red Sox game, dinner, fireworks, proposal and spending the day with the love of your life......priceless!!!

Thank you Micah for the most wonderful day ever! I love you very much and can't wait to start our life and family together!!!

Pregnancy-28 weeks

28 Weeks Pregnant

I guess I should have posted this last week when I was 6 months (27 weeks) pregnant. This week I am 28 weeks and I feel great! Can't really complain about anything......well, I guess I can! I have had some lower back pains but I think that was the result of wearing really old sneakers with no support. So, I have bought a new pair that I am very happy with and have had for a week now. No more pain!

The baby seems to be moving a lot (which is always a good sign!). She keeps me company throughout the day, even when I'm really bored at work! Movements are obviously getting more intense and I am starting to distinguish different body parts! People ask me if I can tell what is what and I can usually figure out what kicking me here or punching me there! Its really been her feet right in the middle of my stomach lately. What's also funny is when my belly is lopsided! I don't mind it whatsoever but it certainly looks funny through my shirts! Especially when someone points it out to me.

I am getting more and more anxious to meet this bundle of joy! But I also get to enjoy her inside my belly for a few more months. We have yet to decide on a name for her but have narrowed it down to a few (I think!!). We still have plenty of time along with the many other things on our to do list.

Feeling Great!

Sorry it's been a while.....I warned you! I have been bad about getting on the computer and writing a new post. Anyways.....Happy Mother's Day!!

I am now 5 months along and feeling great!! This little has plenty of room to do her flips and turns and it seems to be her favorite thing to do. She is constantly moving, which I am NOT complaining about, its one of the most amazing feelings in the world....aside from getting to hear the heartbeat at my monthly pregnancy classes! The other thing I enjoy, is getting to see the little kicks and punches when I look at my stomach!

I also seem to find myself talking to my her a lot! Letting her hear my voice (which she gets to hear all day) but just that "alone" time at night talking to her about anything and everything is perfect. Oh, how I can't wait to do that when she gets older! Ok....maybe I'm rushing it!

We have yet to agree upon a name but, we have plenty of time! Just seems like the summer will fly by and with everything else that will be going on, when will we find time to talk about this?! I'm sure we'll manage though!

I will post a picture of my baby belly soon!!

Start Of Something New

After lots of thought, support and many suggestions, I have decided to start a blog! With the help of my boyfriends sister in-law, Lisa, it all came together in about an hour. Thank you!

I have never been a very good writer so I'm hoping this will be the start of something to look forward to and inspire many others as many have done to me. I'd like to say I'm pretty diligent about reading other peoples blogs on a regular basis! I enjoy reading many of my close "family" members blogs, Lisa, Amy and Bethany, just to name a few. Although, I do not have many of the things happening in my life as they all do, nor am I a wife to an amazing man but I am going to be a mother to an amazing daughter! So, with that being said, that is another reason why I started this blog. I've always told myself that one day when I have kids, I am going to take many pictures and scrapbook them all. This can be my scrapbook to start!

So....I promise to do my very best to keep you interested in coming back to read as I start the journey of my life and something that is totally new to me. I am certainly open for any ideas, suggestions and/or comments that my readers may have so that I can better my writing and my blog.
