Anyway.

Ughhh....I have totally lost my motivation to blog. It just seem to disappear over night. For no apparent reason. All the same reasons to blog are still there...but no blogging has occurred So my fellow bloggers how do you stay motivated? How do you get out of a blogging blah?

Anyway...DISNEY WORLD....
Our anniversary trip was a. maz. ing.It truly is the most magical place on earth. That is not just a marketing ploy. We fully immersed ourselves in the entire world, using the Disney transportation, staying in a Disney hotel, going to all four Disney parks. And the more you experience the better it gets.
We really want to go back sans kids one more time before going without them just becomes too cruel!!
Out of the 504 pictures I took while we were there the below are just a few of my favorites!

 Right before we headed out for our first park day!

We rode a lot of buses!

Waiting in line, more waiting in line, ahh a hippo!

Animal Kingdom

Disney's Hollywood Studios 

STAR TOURS!

STAR TOURS! or STAY HYDRATED! 

Kodak Picture Spot

Jungle cruse, Dole Whip (amazing), teacups

It really is a Magic Kingdom!

Our hotel/motel/resort/whatever...it was pretty!

We are at Disney World!

I know soooo many pictures! If you stopped looking and just started scrolling down I don't blame you one bit! 

I really enjoyed having so much beauty and "novelty" to photograph. It was very difficult to narrow down to just these!
Seriously it was the best vacation we have ever taken! 

Now if I can just get my butt motivated I have library visits, bubbles, park visits, Halloween preview and 15 months pictures and stories to share!

Speachless

How do I feel about my husband and the last five year of marriage.
I don't think I can even begin to explain. I know I can't because I just typed and erased this post several times.
All I know is that I love him. Like you know. a. lot.

He is my world and is woven together with me in an inseparable way. And watching him be a dad....*sigh*....wow

I mean really...he acknowledges when he is wrong AND sincerely apologizes!

He goes to work every day to provide for his family. AND provides well...

This was right after we got married. We look SO young!

He tells me I am beautiful...AND I believe him :-)

He likes to dress up in costumes just like me!!!!! AND he looks awesome doing it!

Be jealous...you know you are.

There is just no other way to say it. He really is the man of my dreams....go ahead and laugh I don't care!

Happy Anniversary to my very best friend. Thank you so much for being the amazing husband that you are and thank you for making my life full and wonderful!.
Love,
Your wife!

D-Date!

One year ago today was Sophie's due date! I was not a happy camper as the blog entry below is evidence of...
-----
I am 40 weeks pregnant!

Dun - Du - Da!

So here we are. Logically I know that July, 5th is not a magical day. That it is a ballpark figure somewhere in the realm of the time when I could possibly deliver my child.

I know this....I told myself this at the very beginning. And yet.......

The hormones its the hormones....I feel a bit as if I am having what I would describe as an out of body experience. I feel a certain way but I can see from my rational logical mind that it doesn't make any sense and yet I am not able to stop the feeling or the reaction sometimes. Ahhhhhgggg.

We went here yesterday to walk around my ankles swelled up beautifully! I had somehow managed to never visit this place amazingly enough. It was very enjoyable as we both like old stuff and history! Distraction has never been so necessary!

------

The pictures below were taken a few day's before Sophie was born. Trevor said he wanted to make my belly look like a bowling ball.

When that didn't work out really well he moved on to other things and before you know it I ended up like this.

He said later that he was just going to keep going until I stopped him....and I am not really sure why I did not stop him before it got so far. Pregnancy brain is messed up!

The Fathers Day

While I was in college on my way to school I would drive buy this enormous store called Cabelas. I knew it was a sporting goods store and simply assumed it was as unremarkable (to me) as every other sporting goods store.
That is until one time after Trevor and I were married he asked me if I had ever visited this particular sporting goods store. I told him I had not visited and expressed my belief in its ordinariness.
Well in typical Trevor fashion I was corrected but without him actually telling me exactly what was so amazing and extraordinary about Cabelas. I would apparently have to wait and see for myself. Of course due to my impatience we visited not to long after that.  And see I did. Let me just tell you....no wait, let me show you...

Since we had trekked out to Central Market for mothers day Trevor decide we should go to Cabelas for fathers day.
First we ate...yes they have a restaurant at this sporting goods store.

Then we checked out some of the animals.

Then we did some shopping.

Then we looked at more animals....

 

We even went on a safari oooohhhh. ahhhh.

Happy Fathers Day to the amazing dad Sophie is so very fortunate to have!

I love you both in ways I will spend the rest of my life trying to show you.

Happy Anniversary

Time to gush a bit....

Four years ago today I married the most wonderful man in the world. That may seem like an exaggeration but I assure you it is not.


One of the happiest days of my life. I can not explain the absolute joy!

He is an AMAZING husband. He takes wonderful care of me by doing everything from working hard at a job he doesn't really love to rubbing my shoulders when I need him to. He is so kind and strong as a rock I depend on him for so much. He is so gentle with me when I need it and
he is so much fun to be around!



He is a fantastic dad! I am so overwhelmed by just how wonderful a father he is to our little Sophie. Having this baby has just made me love him even more.



It has been almost 8 years since I first felt that rush of ewy gooy love for him and I still feel that way today. I love the kid he was then and I am in awe of the man he is today.


Taken a year before we got married. The first Halloween that we dressed up together.

I love you Trevor more than I can ever tell you. I guess I will just have to keep showing you over our lifetime together. Looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together!
