Suprising my 3 year younger sister


I have been trying to get in touch with my sister Brittne sending multiple messages, so she is probably thinking something is wrong. Ha! She finally responded when I asked her if she could make me a new chalk board sign?  She replied, "What were you thinking about? " I sent her the following text.

Boyfriend & Girlfriend

Husband & Wife

Daddy & Mommy

She called me right away and we started to talk about the sign and what I had in mind for the sign.  I said I want to have it be similar to the sign she made for our wedding.  I was starting to get antsy and tell her the news, since she just wasn't getting the point.  I finally said Brittne,  did you actually read the words of the text I sent you??  All of a sudden she started screaming saying oh my gosh are you serious?  It was such an happy and exciting conversation talking to her about becoming pregnant.

She sent me this screenshot of what she came up with for the sign.

Hello June 10th......I've been waiting for you


It has been 179 days waiting, hoping, wishing and praying that this day would final make it's presence. That of course would be the number of days since my wedding on 12/13/14.
 I was beginning to think it might not be in my cards.
Before I meet Jeff I knew I wanted to have another baby. 
Yes for a long time I wanted one. We're talking years here people.
I always felt in my heart I wasn't with the right person.....hence my long 7 year journey of not so great choices!
I wouldn't change a thing looking back because those help mold me into who I am today. 
 And I like me.
I'm one lucky girl finding the love of my life and I'll be forever grateful for him!




So hello June 10th.

 It's nice to finally see you

 I never could have never imagined how it would make me feel.

Looking forward to starting our little family with my love, Jeff.

June 10th.....a day that will forever change my future!!



Bonus: BABY SMITH Journal entry 
from June 10....

3 days till our 6 month anniversary and I realized while I was on break at work this morning that I'm 5 or 6 days late for the month!!  Oh my gosh I thought I could be pregnant!!  I stopped at the store on my way home and pickup a couple of tests.  I really couldn't wait to take the test as soon as I got home so I took one.  I ended up waiting an extra 10 minutes because I was so nervous to look and find out, but when I did it said....Pregnant 2-3!!  Oh my Yes I AM pregnant!!!  I started to cry & laugh.  Possibly 2-3 weeks along!

 


  This an absolute dream come true!!  

I couldn't be happier.  

Perfect timing to give Jeff his father's day card  a week and a half early with a little surprise inside the card!! 

 ❤ magick!!

what is on your bucket list?





 I have always had a deep love to Travel, maybe it stems from our family always taking summer vacations.  We almost always went to California to visit and stay with family during our summer breaks and with each vacation there was always some new and exciting adventures to add to my sweet traveling memories as a child.  I think it was the point of leaving home, where you're most comfortable, making new friends and getting to experience different places that “home” didn’t have.  I can recall once I was lucky to be old enough to travel back to California with family visiting our home in Idaho.  That was the best staying with my favorite cousin & her brothers without the worries of having my parents or siblings there to pester me.  I found that after a few days I started to realize just how much I missed them being around.   So my love of Travel began and what a big world it is out there with so many places &  adventures that await my longing to fall in love with it. 
So here it goes………….My Bucket List of Travel Must See’s & Do’s

Paris  - Eiffel Tower



A place I have a current obsession about because of its allure and romantic past.  I remember my mom telling me all about her senior trip to Europe and her getting to see the Eiffel Tower in person.  I thought she was the coolest mom!!  I loved holding, when she would let me, her little Eiffel Tower she brought from Paris…..still do!!  ;)

Castles of Europe


Something truly fascinating about any castle in Europe…..what little girl didn't dream of living in a faraway land as a princess in her own castle!! This one is my favorite....Neuschwanstein Castle, SW Bavaria, Germany!! <3   Many many of my younger years & hours were spent pretending to be that princess.  How incredible would that be to have that come true even if for just a day!  <3  

Denmark


My lovely great grandparents, my mom’s father, my grandpa William and both his parents, Claus & Katie, were Danish.  Oh to see where they came from....would be inspiring.  Secretly as a little girl I dreamed that one day I would find out I was a Danish Princess.  (Something not shared with many until now!) 


Italy


Yes the whole country from Marsala to Rome, Tuscany region to Milian. Oh must not forget Venice.


Australia & New Zealand



While working as a travel agent I was once told by a client who had been to both countries, if you were going to travel to Australia make sure and visit there first because once you go to New Zealand you will just want to return to visit there.  Maybe I'll just plan to visit New Zealand since its been recommended over Australia!!


Caribbean Islands


My first time going on a cruise and it was a Southern Caribbean one…….Amazing!!  I would go back in a heartbeat to explore these beautiful & exotic places.  Each island proves to be both culturally different & unique.  "A dream is a wish your heart makes"  This is me riding a horse on the beach in Aruba!!  I always told myself that was a dream of mine...I was finally giving the opportunity to make that wish come true!! 

"Never give up believing your dreams will come true, because one day you will be living those very dreams"  Kristy      


Lake Retba


Other names, Senegal or as the French refer to it Lac Rose.  Just to be surrounded in lovely pink water!  .......Sigh

Since there are just too many lovely places to mention perhaps I will turn this post into a series so bonjour for now .
