In a nutshell!

Disclaimer: This post was written quickly and was not proofread! Don't judge me!! :)

How in the world can I get this blog up to date and start writing about present day things! There is so much to say! My plan was to start when Craig and I met and blog about our lives up until today! I'm pretty antsy to start talking about Carson so below is our life from June 28th, 2008-February 8th, 2011 in a nutshell!

1. Lived in a duplex from June 2008-June 2009!
2. Bought our first house in Austin, AR June 2009 and currently live there!
3. Craig worked for a powerline company and it was the worst 6 months of my life. He hated it, I hated it! It was awful!
4. I was the assistant softball coach and assistant volleyball coach at Cabot High School. I felt a pull to quit at the end of the school year and wasn't quite sure why! Turns out I was pregnant when I made my decision! Now I understand why I had such a strong desire to quit even though I LOVED coaching!
4. June 27th, 2010 we found out I was pregnant!! The day before our 2nd wedding anniversary! Pretty good present if I say so myself!
           - One day Craig and I were at the Dollar Tree in the check out line and there was a pregnancy test hanging there. I thought "oh well, it's just $1 I'll get one!" A couple days later I took the test. Really, I don't even know why I took the test. I didn't think I was pregnant. We weren't trying, but we weren't NOT trying either (I hope all of you grammar people out there enjoyed that triple negative)! On June 27th, 2010, a Sunday morning before church, I took this test. Immediately the test had 2 lines...OMG!! I had always imagined telling Craig I was present in some really special, romantic way! Instead, I ran into our room, jumped on the bed, woke him up and said "That dollar tree pregnancy test says I'm pregnant. After church let's go get a better one!" Craig's reaction was YAY, but let's get a better one to be sure! I barely was able to sit through church. Both of us spotted every baby in the whole church! Specifically the little bitty one sitting right in front of us!! After church I took the test, Craig stood right outside the bathroom door. The test immediately said "pregnant." Yes, it actually showed the word pregnant! We bought the good kind! :) Even though it said pregnant immediately, I remained quiet in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and was in awe...happy, shocked! I couldn't believe it! Then, I told Craig I was scared to look and asked if he would look for me. I wanted to see his expression and see how he would tell me!! He looked at the test, smiled and said "Looks like we're going to have a little Nyborg running around!" :) I was still speechless...happy, but speechless! I sat on the edge of the bathtub, accidentally turned the water on! It doesn't sound funny, but it was! Miley (our cat) and I both jumped and she ran out of the room! I cried happy tears and Craig was happier than I had ever seen him!!

5. June 28, 2010 we finally met some of our neighbors, and now they are some of our best friends! We love the Cross Creek hood! :)

Finally, I can now tell you about the day Carson was born!! Unfortunately, that precious baby needs some apples right now so I need/want to go feed him!! More to come about that special day on my next post!!
