Last night was our anniversary...it was nice. Just did a nice dinner and hung out together...I also am 13 weeks pregnant today! I woke up with a belly this morning which shocked darron and I both!
I am officially in my 2nd trimester!!! YAY!

We almost forgot about our cake topper so I made Darron get up at like 11 PM to eat it...still half frozen! Also the house got struck by lightning this morning...i think it was more scary than anything....It blew a few breaks but everything seems OK but we havent checked the a/c yet it is just too cold! After it stops raining Darron will check out the roof but we are supposed to get 5 inches of rain today!

This weekend it is finally starting to rain in San Antonio...but now it is not stopping! We are starting to have some flooding. They have closed some of the roads and someone took the entrance to our neighborhood to fast and rolled there car off into the creek! We are lucky that our house is at the top of large hill but that hill is made of limestone so the water never sinks in! So this week our secret has been out to the world and it has been awesome! All of our friends are supper supportive. Our little one is so luck to be loved by so many people. I had a dream last night that we had a little girl so we will see....we have picked our names but not sure how set in stone they are yet. The lack of caffee is kinda starting to get to me. I am a little slugish or at least i feel that way! We are 10 weeks already...next appt is Oct 15th at 3!

We are out!

So we decided to tell everyone that we are pregnant! I was soooo nervous! Darron really wanted to see the reaction...we talked about him uploading it to facebook and not me just for the shock factor but didnt. We have gotten nothing but great support from everyone! We are blessed to have just great friends. It is nice to be able to say out in the open that I AM PREGNANT! We were going to wait till 12 weeks but as you can see from the photos i am already working on the baby bump so we couldnt hide it much longer! I really miss running at this point but i cant seem to find the energy!

But since only family ready my blog and you guys know now i can post this.....WE ARE EXPECTING!!!! We are both so excited! Everyone seems happy for us which is great to have such a good support network. We are def open to any help, suggestions, and hand-me-downs! As of today I am 8 weeks 2 days!

4th of July
















So I flew home on July 10th to visit my family back in Amarillo. My family from KS came down too...I wish Darron could have come but he had EMT class all day saturday :( but he is almost done :). I just wanted to post pics that I took there!

Darron office






















So ass some of you know I have spent a lot of time trying to get darron to move his office out of the gameroom and into one of the empty bedrooms...so when he decided to take a boys trip to vegas I decided it was time to make my move. I spent 4 days painting and working like a dog! I am not able to put up the crown molding by my self but i managed to get everything done. I am calling the internet company this week and they are going to connect the internet in that room...since we have fiberoptic internet we only had the one outlet :( once the molding is up and all of the furnature is in I will take more pictures!

So i havent posted in awhile...still doing good on the weight loss plan even though i did kinda fall of the wagon why dad and paige were here. Well dad and paige were here last weekend and we completely redid my front flower beds! They look great...we also took them for some really authentic mexican food! We ate at a place that bobby flay can to do a throwdown on tacos! It was fun to have Paige come with dad since normally she is stuck cuz of school.




Hurricane season started 6/1 which def effects work for the both of us! So we will seen how it goes! $$$




Darron is going to Vegas in July to make up for the batchelor party that he missed due to hurricane ike last year. I hope he has a good time because he deserves it! He works really hard.


He is also getting his EMT...he has been a firefighter since 2001 but never really wanted to be a medic. Since he has become an officer at the station now he has to do it but the good thing is that the dept is going to pay for it!




We also found 4 kittens! We have taken them in to try to get them used to people and adoptable. We sill see how that goes.....they let us pet them but they dont like to be held yet....but it has only been a few days.....

Crazy week...so friday morning Darron's grandfather had a heart attack which was really scary. They had his surgery this morning and he is thankfully doing great this evening. Jim also had back surgery tuesday and then again friday. So it was a stressfull week to say the least but God never gives us more than we can handle and instead of "stress eating" i did "stress running" which really paid off cuz i have now lost 5.2lbs! that is over 3 weeks so i am losing it slow and stead and the right way by eating healthy and working out more so lest home that i continue and keep it off! I am pretty motivated right now. I was kinda of slacking but when I realized I hit 5lbs I felt like I was actually getting somewhere! So hopefully it is a good start to a wonderful week!

Sooo. This weekend we went camping with some good friends at Garner state park. It was an awesome place but it was really hot on saturday. Thanks goodness the frio river was right next to our camp site to cool down in. Darron got overheated which lead to a nasty migraine so he called it a night early but it got nice and cool at night. Thank you sooo much virgie for letting us borrow your tent. We are thinking that we will go again in the fall and Darron has already picked out the tent that he wants...we will see.



Jim is supposed to have back surgery tomorrow so i will let you know how that goes. He has been in a lot of pain for quite some time now.

Saturday, April 25, 2009


So a few thing have happened since I last blogged. First Darron found out that he is getting his $$ from all of the 2008 deployments!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! That includes Hurricane Faye, Dolly, and Ike and a Few other small things here and there. We are soooo excited about it! We are just planning on putting it in the bank but it makes us feel better to have a bigger safety net now.



I went to get my 6 month inspection done on my wedding band that i have to do for my extended warentee and little did i know that i had knocked the snot out of my ring some time!!! My wedding band was cracked right at the edge of one of the diamonds. The prong around my solitair was dented and the who head of it is pushed to one side! I had to have hit it REALLY hard because the head is made of platnium . Soo I didnt want to look single for a week while it got fixed so for now i just sent off my wedding band because the diamond was loose in that one. So for now I am just wearing my wedding ring again. Once it gets back I am going to send off my engagement ring to get the head fixed.

So Darron came home on Friday after a late flight due to the storms. Ironically Kenna and Darron were actually both suck in Dallas at the same time! I am so happy to have him back home! I can finally get a good nights sleep. We had a few friends over last night to watch UFC. Yesterday I started to do some yard work but it didn't end well. It was about 83 degrees and really humid and after about an hours of yard work I got a little overheated! Sooo the yard work is going to have to wait until it is cooler! or I will have to do in really early or later tonight...we will see...

We also joined Costco today!!! We were able to buy a 55lbs of dog food for less then the 40lbs is at the grocery store!!!

So we just got a call from Darrons work (STRAC, http://www.strac.org/) that they have to go help out with the North Texas grass fires that have been burning for a few days now. It has officially been declared a natural disaster. For more info you can clink on the link below:



I always get mixed emotions when this happens. I he loves his work but I also know the conditions that he has to work in sometimes. We both like that he gets paided Deployment pay ( yeah) but at the same time I dont get to be with him and he is not going to get a weekend. The worst part is that Darron is going to be gone next week too. he leave monday for San Diego for an EOC confrence and training until atleast friday. So basicly I am not going to spend time with Darron until next saturday....and we didnt get to go to the park and play catch either :(


Maybe I will get started on a few of my projects early now.


So yesterday was VERY eventful! As some of you know I have been pretty much constantly sick for a few weeks now so I want to the doctor again and they changed up my meds and gave me a few other things to do so we will see how that works.


Also yesterday a friend of mine had her baby!!! yeah!! After about 12 hours and she was still only at 4cm they decided to do a C section...the whole day was a little frustrating because she was actually due on the 5th! Well turns out she kinda over cooked him! He was 9lbs!!! and 21 inches!!!




I have to admit leaving the hospital last night I have a bad case of baby fever right now but I think everyone kinda gets it at my age. I cant believe that i am about to be 24 and darron is goin to be 29....time just seems to fly these days. We are just enjoying being married right now. Congrats to cousins Dave and Angie expecting there first in Oct!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited for them!


It is really nice today so Darron and I ar going to go play catch at the park this evening! They did really well at there softball game on wed. They didnt win...which they have only won one in the last 3 years....but they still have a great time but they were ahead for awhile but just lost it at the end. :(


We like the exercise and sunshine of going to the park for a little softball practice just the two of us!

Day one


So I have decided to start a blog to keep our family and friends up to date on our lives. Have been sick now for almost a week and hopefully the new meds will work! This week Darron has a little accident on the baseball field. He got hit in the head with the softball! It was bad...I cried. Davis also lost his tooth and not in a good way. He knocked heads with a friend of his on the trampoline and knocked out his front tooth. We are waiting for xrays to see what the doctors say.


My current projects:


Painting and decorating the Game Room upstairs

Moving Darrons office to the back bedroom ( we will see if he wants it painted or not)

Paint out bedroom


I am also trying to slim down a little again. I have to be in two wedding this next year and summer is comming up. I am back on my thyroid medicine....blah...but hopefully it will help my weight level out. My first step in that direction is diet which is my biggest struggle by far. I will keep you updated on how that goes.
Tonight is the Season Premier of Rescue Me on FX...by far Darrons favorite show so we are going to have a few people pver tonight for Spaghetti, which is tradition, and watching the show.


Always,


Darron and Allie
