Twelve Years

No one thought James and I would last. I don't blame them because who goes to Cancun for spring break and comes back with a soulmate? We did. :-) We were married two years later and just celebrated our Tenth anniversary! My, how time flies when you're having fun.

We were so young when we got married - just 23! But we knew we were going to spend the rest of our lives together, so why wait? We did, however, decide to wait on having children. Instead, we traveled the world, bought a house (okay, a townhouse), and chose to advance ourselves in our respective careers.

Then, in 2007, we decided it was time to start thinking about a family. (We're big planners if you haven't noticed by now). We thought about where we wanted to go as a last hurrah as a couple. Being huge history buffs, we agreed that Italy and Paris were calling our names. We spent three glorious weeks in Rome, Florence/Tuscany, and Paris and spared no expense. We ate magnificent food, toured museums and Churches, attended the weekly Papal audience, and drank fantastic wines. It was the trip of a lifetime! We can't wait for Peyton to be old enough so that we can go back.

Ah yes, that brings us to the whole reason for this blog! Fast forward one year to early September, 2008, something felt different and, lo and behold, I was pregnant! We were thrilled!
