How I love the beach …

After we took the 3rd pregnancy test on Thursday morning – we left for the airport.

On the way we noticed a crack in the windshield of the Jeep – we called the insurance company and they set up an appointment for Monday morning. We are pretty sure it started when we went to get Schrute – the weather was horrible that day and we got stuck behind so many trucks!

We got to Elmira pretty early – just to be sure – and made some more phone calls to let people know about the pregnancy tests. The flight seemed to be pretty packed with not many seats in the airport lobby. We met out traveling buddies – Zach’s parents and sister and her family – and waited in line. 

I HATE FLYING – but I knew that I had to keep it together and not freak out!

Waiting to take off in Elmira …

Again – waiting for take off – I got so sick on the flight down – I didn’t eat any breakfast knowing that I would probably get sick. When we flew to Wyoming three years ago – I took Dramamine but knew that I couldn’t take it this time. I felt horrible – but usually getting it out of my system makes me feel better. We had a seat right on the wing with the emergency exits – more leg room!

It only took about 2 hours to get to Orlando-Sanford – AMAZING!

Zach’s parents got a rental car along with his sister and her family – we returned the car to the airport Sunday morning while the rest of our travel buddies went on to Disney for a few days!

Jared fell in love with this little car – a Nissan Versa!

Mindy is so excited about seeing Zach!

I posted a really quick picture of Jared with our announcement – here are a few more –

We are so excited!

I also have TONS of pictures to blog about from the wedding – but I am waiting to get my NEW COMPUTER and photoshop installed to showcase them!

I think I might get some AWESOME actions that go along with PHOTOSHOP too!

I know that some of you are asking for DETAILS – DETAILS!

Wednesday night after dinner I figured I would take a test – I was late since Sunday morning and I am never late! I figured it would be negative and that I would just have to deal with it in Florida!

We went off the pill December 4th – thinking that it would take MUCH longer to get pregnant than this – according to everyone!

Much to our surprise it was a positive test within 20 seconds.

Test 2 – same thing.

Test 3 in the morning before the flight – same thing!

We went over and told Jared’s parents – who were shocked!

Then I started texting close friends and family – we were so excited!

According to the due date calendar – which doesn’t make ANY sense to me – we are due October 11th!

I am only 5 weeks right now – again – don’t understand the due date calendar and the reasoning behind it!

We are very excited and can’t wait. I made an appt. for March 9th in Sayre – so I will know for sure. I called Wellsboro and the secretary pretty much told me that she didn’t think I would get on the list since the doctor only selects an “elite” few – she told me I should probably call somewhere else! I called Arnot – they don’t take our insurance – so my options were Williamsport and Sayre – equal distances from Mansfield and since my parents are in Sayre and I can coincide my Chiropractor appointments – hopefully – we went with Sayre!

My only concern is with my jaw – I am much better – and want to stay that way – I am so terrified about what labor will do to the stress on that joint!

I appreciate the congrats and prayers from everyone! We are so blessed to have our parents nearby and a great church family and great friends!

We have names already – but are having a hard time with the boy’s middle name!

Isa Samantha for a girl – Isa was Jared’s exchange student when he was in middle school – and since he is an only child – it is the closest to a sister he had – and my sister is Samantha.

Clark for a boy – after Jared’s grandparents – his mom’s maiden name!

YES WE WILL FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE HAVING – if you know me – you know that I do not like surprises and have to be organized – not knowing would be insane for us!

I am so excited for baby showers – belly pictures – shopping for maternity clothes – seeing our sweet baby for the first time!

I am NOT excited about strangers thinking they can touch my belly – stupid questions – statements beginning with … the right way to do it!

It’s positive!

We are leaving on a jet plane in the morning – FLORIDA here we come!

Jared’s friend Zach is marrying Layne and Jared is one of the best men!

I am not the photographer at the wedding but I will be photographing for sure!

STAY TUNED FOR FLORIDA WEDDING PICTURES – who knows when I will get that chance again!

Last week I took some pictures of Rutie over lunch –

Our DUNDER MIFFLIN leash!

Schrute has learned to hide his eyes from my flash!

The Morning Times in Sayre has a BRIDAL SECTION each year – I decided to advertise this year!

At the BRIDAL EXPO – one of the women from the paper told me about the chance and I jumped on it!

My ad is an 1/8 of a page using Julie and Tyler – my poster children – alongside my contact information – it looks great!

The BRIDAL SECTION is delivered with the Morning Times but can be picked up throughout the year at the Morning Times in Sayre!

Right now I have 19 weddings booked for 2009 – my goal is 24 – GOD IS SO GOOD!

Amy’s friend wanted a newborn session for her new granddaughter *I* – which was one of the main reasons we went to Sunbury.

I haven’t done a newborn session in almost two years – so I was VERY EXCITED!

She looks so deep in thought!

Such a sweetie!

Thanks again Kathy – *I* is such a sweetie!
