6 years ago

6 Years ago today I was in college and had known John for about 9 months. He came to my apt/dorm that evening a little frustrated and said he needed to use the phone. I was making dinner (I think) so he went down to my room to make his phone call. He was taking a while so I went to check on him. He was obviously flustered. I did notice the list of phone numbers in his hand were all my family's numbers.

After dinner we went on the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at a pulloff. We got in our down sleeping bags and enjoyed the quiet darkness.

A little later, John got behind me and put his arms around me. He told me several things that, sadly, I don't remember, but I do remember him saying that the only thing missing was having me with him for the rest of his life. Then he asked me to marry him and gave me a ring. I turned around and hugged him.

10 months later we were married.

Photo Album

I added some photos, mainly of Annelise, to the photo album. The link is on the right. The new photos are under "Nov-Dec 07" and "Jan-Feb 08". Here is one I didn't add, but I think it is really cute. This is my dad with Annelise in October.

Big Momma

Here are some photos of me and my big belly. They are a little dark, but it's the best I could do. 3 weeks to go!

Say Doodad

4 more weeks. I hope to get a picture posted soon of my large belly, but I can't take the photo myself. I am excited and nervous about Caleb's entering the world. Although it will be exciting to have a new baby, I am dreading the adjustment and the lack of sleep. In the beginning it will be very hard, but it will only get better and better.

Last night we were trying to get Annelise to say "Doodad", which is John's dad's grandfather name. She didn't quite get it, but she is getting close.
