We're going to be parents

October of 2012 our lives changed forever. Bethany and Danny were visiting while Danny was on his mid tour leave from South Korea. It was the first time we had met Bethany's new husband and we're very excited to see what the hype was all about. I made some delicious tacos for the four of us. Bethany and Danny were staying with us for the weekend. Our dinner for four quickly turned into dinner for seven when my mom and grandparents showed up too. We had lots of fun talking and eating these delicious tacos. After dinner I started cleaning up. It was like all of a sudden I had caught that dreaded stomach bug that was going around school. I had sent three kids home with the flu that afternoon.  I lied down and took a bath. That is usually my go to to help me feel better. Nothing worked. I just felt more and more dreadful. After finally tossing my cookies(or delicious tacos)at four o'clock in the morning and listening to my sister tell me I was pregnant I decided to use my last cheap dollar store pregnancy test. And sure enough it came bearing good news! I couldn't hold it in. I woke seth up right then and showed him. I've never been so happy as I was in that moment. I absolutely loved sharing that beautiful secret with Seth.  After a year and a half of trying we finally got our sweet answer to all of our prayers and hopes and dreams. We were going to be parents and couldn't be happier.
