Finally!

Ok, I have been really bad about updating this thing, sorry! So, I will do my best to catch up.

Back in May:
I did graduate (May 6th) with highest honors, and it felt great. I now have my associates degree in applied science - business administration. My family was there to support me, just like they have been all through my education. We went to Boone's to celebrate, and all of my family was there!













We celebrated Julia's first birthday (May 9th), it was so fun! We had a party at Northland Community Church, and it worked out really well. We were going to have it at the Cherry Bend Park, but the weather didn't agree! Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us and for all the wonderful gifts! (Julia was so precious, she knew it was HER day, just look at the cake picture!)














I finally turned 21 (May 29th)! I celebrated my 21st birthday with my siblings, see picture (Heather and Aaron were there, they had just left). I drank, and got tippsy, but I don't think I was drunk. After that we went to the Clock at 2:30 in the morning and I had an omelette and pancakes, yumm! I felt fine the next day, no hang over or anything:














I have been working full time, which has taken up a lot of my time, and I have missed the kids like crazy! They have missed me too, Julia clings to me the minute I walk through the door! After about three weeks I realized I couldn't be away from my kids that much, so I talked to my bosses about going back to part-time. They were not too happy about that because they have really liked having me there and need someone in the office full-time. So, Beth (my boss) has been great and really working with me on this. She offered a possible job share, if I knew someone who was qualified. Luckily, one of my friends, Tonya Jacobs, who I went to college with and was in PTK with was interested! I am now working 29 hours a week, Mon., Tues. afternoon, Thurs., and Fri. This is while I train Tonya on Fridays. In mid-August we will change to our job share schedule, I will work Mon. - Wed. afternoon, and she will work Wed. afternoon - Friday. I am really happy about this, I think it will work out well.

Julia finally started walking the other day, she took like 5 to 10 steps her first night!!! We are so excited, and she has been doing great! She has been ready to walk for a while, she just wouldn't. It is so cute to see her tot around. She also got her first haircut a week ago. We want to grow it out, but her hair was in her eyes all the time, so we had Gina trim it a little. It is so cute. Ethan has been really into bugs lately, he loves catching spiders! He is still into sharks of course! He is really excited about going to preschool in the fall.

So, what else, oh yea I almost forgot.....I am pregnant again!!!

Ok, this was definately in God's plan, because it was not in our plans at the moment! I was on birth control and still finishing up breast feeding when I got pregnant! Dr. Danz said it was meant to be. I couln't believe it, I was really tired after work, but I just figured it was because I was not used to working full time. Once I got to the week of my birth control pills where you are supposed to have your period, and I was on the last two pills, I decided to take a test. POSITIVE!! What??? That was on June 2nd. It took a while before Sean and I fully came to terms with this. We waited to tell our family until after I saw the doctor. We wanted to make sure everything was ok, and to see how far along I was. I had no clue, I didn't have regular periods yet and I was on the pill!? We saw Dr. Danz on Monday the 26th, and had an ultrasound done. My due date is Jan. 31st 2007. She will do another ultrasound on July 25th to confrim the due date. I am really excited now! God obviously has a plan for us, and I am excited to see where he leads us. The one thing I was really worried about was that I was pregnant when I went out on my birthday. I had no clue I was prego! I talked with Dr. Danz about it, and she is not worried about it. She said that at that point, I wouldn't have even had a positive pregnancy test. Also, I went out once, it's not like I was drinking all the time. The placenta wasn't even formed at that point either. I can't do anything about it now, so I can't worry my self to death. Here is my ultrasound pic. (they estimated me to be 8 wks and 5 day at the appointment):


















Sean is still looking for a job. He has applied at a few places, and has done one interview, but nothing that has worked out. Please be praying that something opens up for Sean.

Wow! Ok, I think thats is all you can handle at once! I will try to do a better job of updating my blog!

p.s I wanted to give my sister Annette credit for most of these pics, she took a lot of them!
