FL Bridal Shower...

My FL bridal shower was very nice. My mother popped out and surprised me from MD. It was very nice and I thank everyone who was involved and came.

It's a Boy...

Our very first sonogram at 12 weeks pregnant. The little guy's body.






His profile and hand.

We were very lucky, and found out at 12 weeks that it was a boy. You normally have to wait until 16-18 weeks to find out the gender of the baby.

NJ Bridal Shower...

My NJ shower was amazing. Thanks to everyone who was involved and who came to share in such a special day.

Daisey the Witch....

Happy Halloween!! She loved it and pranced around outside helping me give out candy.

Our blessing...

Today we found out I was pregnant. There were many mixed feelings because it was a huge surprise. I cried for days but knew everything happens for a reason. Jeff and I had a lot of thinking to do in reference to changing our wedding or keeping it the same. Obviously, we chose to move our wedding up. We both felt that was God's intention for us to be married sooner. I am so glad we did, and do not regret one thing. Today I look back and know it was God's plan.

My MD friends....

In September, my friend Brandy from High School and her fiance', Billy, came to visit Jeff and I. We had a blast. We went bowling, Jet skiing, to the beach, and Brandy and I shot our first gun!!

We love you both and can't wait until your special day.

Camping...

We went camping with our friends Jason and Claudia. It was very fun, but HOT! This is Jeff and I's tent.

This is how we cleaned our dishes at night with the light on Claudia's head!!

Jason and Claudia brough there dogs and they enjoyed it as well. Over all it was very fun, but way toooo Hot!

Tennesse...

Jeff and I drove to TN for a mini vacation to my sister and brother in law's log cabin near Pigeon Forge, TN. It was a fun trip but a long drive! And of course, Jeff got a speeding ticket!

We went on a long hike in the Smokey Mountains. It showed us how out of shape we are going up a step hill for a mile!

This is the cabin, its very beautiful. Four bedroom & four bath, pool table, air hockey, spa a beautiful view.

We went white water rafting. It was very cold but very fun. Out of 6 people, I am the only one who did not flip out of the boat! thank goodness. It was very fun, but I will not do it again. I was scared the whole time to flip out and get lost down the river!

X-Mas...

Jeff's and I first Christmas together. We spent a few days before and Christmas Eve with his family in Tampa. We went to Hard Rock Cafe in Tampa and hung out with his brothers and sisters. We all made homemade perogies as a family tradition to Laurens Husband, Ryan. Jeff and I then celebrated Christmas day with my sister and her family. For dinner we made homemade Apple Pie and went over my Fathers house.

Very Frist Christmas Tree...

Jeff and I went on Black Friday and got our Xmas tree. It was very fun! Then we decorated the tree the same night and ate Thanksgiving leftovers.

Boca Raton Resort and Spa...11/17/07

Jeff took me to Boca Raton to this five star Spa for our 6 month anniversary. It was absolutely beautiful. We stayed for the weekend and enjoyed our day at the Spa with massages, baths, steam room and much more. It was my first experience at a Spa and I loved it!! At night, we went out to where Jeff use to live. He showed me around all the places he once lived when he first moved to FL. we had a great time.

Jeff always the romantic kind, had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries set up in the room one night.

Halloween Horror Nights...10/27/07

Jeff and I went to Universal Studios to celebrate Halloween and get scared. Every Year, they turn the park at night into a huge haunted house. All the rides are still on and they add a lot of scary people jumping out at you through out the park. There were probably 10 different Haunted houses around the park as well. It was scary and we has a blast!

Cheerleading...Summer 2007

All my life I was a cheerleader, so when my sister Candi asked me to be her assistant coach for Madison (my niece) cheer leading team, I said, "sure, how hard could it be!" Well, it was a lot of work, but very worth it. We had a team of about 20 5 and 6 year old! Wow, it was exhausting. It was a great experience and I will do it again if I have a little girl some day.

Jaguar Games...

The last two seasons, Jeff and I went to few Jaguar Games. All though I am a Baltimore Ravens fan at heart, I still went to Jag Games for the fun! It was very hot a few games, but we still had fun with my brothers and brother-in-law.

Lauren's Wedding...8/18/07

Lauren looked gorgeous!


Ilove this picture of Jeff and his mother dancing.

Lauren's Wedding

The wedding was beautiful and Jeff and I had a great time. It was a little overwhelming for me as I have never met so many new people in a few hours of time. Between Jeff's family and friends everyone was so nice and looking foward to a destination wedding.

Just engaged...8/17/07

The next morning, Jeff and I checked out to head towards town to go to his sister's wedding. Wee stopped by the Tiki bar at the resort and had a cocktail to celebrate!! I showed of my ring to the camera.

The Proposal....8/16/07

When we got back from MD, Jeff and I stayed in his hometown at Minerals Resort & Spa. the place was amazing. In the winter, its a ski resort but it was summer and it had pools and caves. It was really neat. After his sisters rehearsal dinner, we went back to the resort. Little did I know what I was in store for.

I walked in the room, and it had candles lit everywhere, rose pedals spread all over, soft music in the background, champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and roses!! It was absolutley amazing. At that time I turned to Jeff to say WOW, he got on one knee and proposed. It was beautiful. It was everything and more that I use to dream of.

MD trip 8/07

Jeff asked me to go with him to his sister's wedding in NJ. I said sure and we can go to MD to visit my family and let you met them. We flew up to NJ and then rented a car to get around. We went to MD for 2 days and saw as many people possible.
