Yep, he belongs to me.

Jeremy is at ISLE.  It is 9 days of pure craziness!!  He is living in the dorm room and going to class from 8 am to 9 pm.   Sounds like my worst nightmare.  Their professor has a glorious mustache.  So, the guys came up with this grand idea to grow mustaches in honor of their teacher.  For three months Jeremy grew a beard.  I  have really wanted us to take family pictures but because of his stupid beard growing we have not had the opportunity.  I am not a fan of facial hair on Jeremy.  I love his baby face.  Facial hair = no family pictures.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife!!
Here is Jeremy acting creepy...

Group picture. Take one.

and another one...

I am happy to report: THE MUSTACHE IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I repeat it is GONE!

Three more days and Jeremy will be home! :)   Jeremy- I am so proud of you and all your hard work.  I know it must be overwhelming at times but it will be worth it in the end.  I love you.... even more withOUT the freaky facial hair!

So true...

   Different Trips To The Same Place

Deciding to have a baby is like planning a trip to Australia. You've heard it's a wonderful place; you've read many guidebooks and feel certain you're ready to go. Everyone you know has traveled there by plane. They say it can be a turbulent flight with occasional rough landings, but you can look forward to being pampered on the trip.

So you go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for a ticket to Australia. All around you, excited people are boarding planes for Australia. It seems there is no seat for you; you'll have to wait for the next flight. Impatient, but anticipating a wonderful trip, you wait, and wait, and wait.


Flights to Australia continue to come and go. People say silly things like, "Relax. You'll get on a flight soon." Other people actually get on a plane and then cancel their trip, to which you cry, "It's not fair!"

After a long time the ticket agent tells you, "I'm sorry; we're not going to be able to get you on a plane to Australia. Perhaps you should think about going by boat."

"By BOAT!" you say. "Going by boat will take a very long time and it costs a great deal of money. I really had my heart set on going by plane." So you go home and think about not going to Australia at all. You wonder if Australia will be as beautiful if you approach it by sea rather than air. But you have long dreamed of this wonderful place, and finally you decide to travel by boat.

It is a long trip, many months over many rough seas. No one pampers you. You wonder if you will ever see Australia. Meanwhile, your friends have flown back and forth to Australia two or three more times, marveling about each trip.

Then one glorious day, the boat docks in Australia. Is is more exquisite that you ever imagined, and the beauty is magnigfied by your long days at sea. You have made many wonderful friends during your voyage, and you find yourself comparing stories with others who also traveled by sea rather than by air.

People continue to fly to Australia as often as they like, but you are able to travel only once, perhaps twice. Some say things like, "Oh, be glad you didn't fly. My flight was horrible; traveling by sea is so easy."

You will always wonder what it would have been like to fly to Australia. Still, you know God blessed you with a special appreciation of Australia, and the beauty of Australia is not in the way you get there, but in the place itself.

Happy 3 years!

 June 5th 2008, I rehearsed for the most important day of my life when I went from a Miss to Mrs.  However, nothing could have prepared for for the happiness I felt that day.

June 6th 2008 was our special day.  As I got ready to see Jeremy, I remember laughing and dancing with my girls.

 Hair and makeup finished I was ready to meet my man.... and he looked GOOD!

Let's get married!!!  No going back now:)

My babies are not this little anymore...

We danced to "Forever" by Ben Harper. 

Cutting the cake... we were nice to each other and didn't make a mess.

Then we cut a rug the rest of the night!

It is so much fun remembering our special day.   I love you Jeremy Lewis.  You are such a blessing to me.  The best part about this past year is how much our marriage has grown.  We joined a church together.  We are surviving infertility together.  CHEERS, happy three years!!!
