Baby's now the size of a lemon!

WE'VE BEGUN THE 2ND TRIMESTER TODAY!!!!! =)

Our adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking!!, toe wiggling, (not as cute but equally amazing) making urine, and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys, and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over Baby's body for warmth.

Blueberries!

Thanks, Mom, for sending everybody in TWF a Maine blueberry towel!! I love mine so much! We got it in the mail the week our baby was the size of a blueberry, and Joe was convinced that's why you'd bought it, not because Maine is known for it's blueberries. =) Even though he's wrong (haha) I'll enjoy thinking about when my baby was that small when I use it for years to come, I'm sure. =) Love you! xoxox

Dreams Really Can Come True!!!!

Yes, my Joseph is playing Star Craft II on our 42" HDTV...it's okay to be jealous........ ;)

(Too bad the screen is just too huge and he was totally disoriented and didn't like it. But at least he was able to try it out and decide for himself!!! Lol. I love my little gamer...) xoxox

Dinner out!

Joe and I went out to dinner a little while back with two of his KATUSA's, one of his friends, Eric, and my girlfriend, Jessie! We tried Korean ribs this time. They were a little tough to chew, but still amazing! The marinades were incredible and the side dishes were really great too. Expensive, but worth trying it out! We all had a great time together and enjoyed lots of laughs. I love friends... =) xoxox

Video chats!!

While Mom and Dad were visiting the Burnisons in Florida, I had the privilege of video chatting with them for an hour or so one day! While it made me extremely jealous ;) it was also so heartwarming to see them all together again. Being away from the fam def makes you appreciate time together and be happy for others when they get to enjoy what you all miss. =) Love you all,
xoxox

Happy 9 Year Anniversary!!!

On July 1st, 2010, Joe hit 9 years of being in the Army! He has served all but 2 of those years overseas, is a veteran of a foreign war, has completed 2 combat tours and we are in the middle of his second hardship tour. He has served in South Korea, Germany, Iraq, Germany, Afghanistan, Germany, and I was with him while he served in Virginia Beach, VA, and now South Korea. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished over the years, all that he's learned and all the ways he has grown and helped others under him to learn and grow as well. When I look at him I see a man that is the epitome of the Army values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. I hope and pray that our sons will grow up to be men just like their father. I love you and am so proud of you, Joe!!! XOXOX!
