First Come Love

First comes love.

And 3 years of dating.

Followed by an engagement.

Then comes marriage.

And, the happiest day of my life.

And yes, our pups were there as witnesses!

And after 4 and 1/2 years of marriage, two full time careers, & a new home,

Then comes…

A baby!

Yep.  Its true!  There is going to be a special little addition to our home this coming July!

I took 7 tests to prove it… I thought 7 pregnancy tests may have been excessive to photograph… so I stuck with 4!

:)

That isn’t excessive at all right?!

I have been dyeing to let you in on my little secret!  And I wish I could give all of you a huge hug now that you know!!!

I can hardly wait to go through this new adventure with all of you right here on my blog!!!

Starting tomorrow with some more photos and details, I can hardly wait to get you up to date with our progress and where we are in our pregnancy!!!!

Oh, and all photos from our wedding and engagement were taken by V Imagery + Design, I adore them!
