Here it is..

Making a blog was something that I didn't want to do for a long time. But, after some persuasion from a few loved ones.. I warmed up to the idea and this is it! I think what I want to do with this is to keep it as a family diary. Something for my kids to read from waaaay back when they weren't here yet. I would have been fascinated to read about my parents when I was little.

A little more about what's going on in my life. There is a lot of new and firsts right now, it's a big year full of so many life altering changes. My husband Casey got out of the Marines, after 5 years of service, in February. We had our bags packed and drove straight through from 29 Palms, CA to Havana, IL (which takes around 28 hours if you were wondering). We have the great opportunity to be able to farm with family here in Illinois, so this year is when we started! Corn and soy beans! Casey and I had our first wedding anniversary on March 21. It's crazy how fast a year goes! Then found out March 30th that we are pregnant with our first baby due to arrive December 5th! This first has taken over most of the other ones. I am 17 weeks pregnant now, happy the first trimester is over, there is starting to be a hint of a belly, and I can't wait to meet our baby! All these things rolled into one make it quite an interesting time for me!
