3 Years of Marital Bliss

Today, three years ago, I married the man of my dreams. When I say that, I'm not being facetious…he truly is the man of my dreams. When I was 15, I started a journal to my future husband. I wrote to him about my dreams, my hard times, my commitment to purity, and how much I couldn't wait to serve God with him. When I was a freshman in Bible college, I met Stephen on my bus route in Chicago. Boy, was I head over heels for this 6'4" blond haired, green eyed, Spanish speaking cutie pie! But, he was very shy, didn't really talk much to me…So, I just kept my secret crush to myself! Finally, after two years of working on the bus route together, he FINALLY asked me on a date! From that date, we both knew we were going to get married. It was so right, and so easy! That is exactly how God intended dating to be! We dated for two years, and got married December 4, 2010! It was truly the best day of my life, after my salvation! I can't wait to raise kids with him, grow old with him, and just love him for the rest of my life! Sorry, for the mushiness, I just love my husband a lot!! :)

We looked like kids!

Here's a couple of pictures we got done in Florida over Thanksgiving, and some of my outfit that day, too!

Deborah & Co. Fleece Lined Leggings Review

Man, do I wish I had these Deborah & Co. Fleece Lined Leggings when I was in college in Chicago where it was freezing 8 months out of the year! These are the warmest leggings I've ever worn! For skirt wearers in the winter, these will be a life saver! There's nothing worse than having goosebumps on your legs every time you walk outside! These are seriously SUPER warm and comfortable!

My favorite thing about leggings/tights is that if you have a dress that's a tad too short, leggings hide your knees, so it gives an illusion that it's long enough. I don't wear skirts/dresses above the knee, and I found this darling dress at Maurice's for $13.99, and it was about an inch shorter than I feel comfortable wearing, but with these leggings underneath it, I felt perfectly comfortable in it!

Another awesome feature about these leggings is that they are able to be pulled over your foot (to give the look of tights), so I did that today and paired my leggings with some black booties.

Surprise: We're Having a Baby!!

Yay!! The secret is finally out! It has been so hard for me to keep this baby a secret! I felt Thanksgiving was the perfect day to announce that we're expecting! We are so thankful that God has entrusted us to be parents. We are so thankful for the past three wonderful years of marriage we've had to learn and love each other. We are so thankful for our health, jobs, place to live, and now, this new chapter in our lives! Please keep us in your prayers!

So, if you've wondered why I've been MIA lately…now you know why! :) Thank God my mom passed down the wonderful gene of not getting sick for morning sickness, but there's no way around the sleepy side effect of growing a new life! So, I've been resting and trying to take care of me and the baby! In a couple of weeks, things should start getting back to normal…
