Marvin and I are celebrating 5 years of marital bliss today!!! :)
Even though it has not always been blissful..it has been well worth it. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful man in my life who lives to take care of me and our son. I would love to renew our vows one of these days/years because I think it has really taken this long to realize what marriage is and to appreciate all the ups and the downs of it all. When Marvin and I first got married, we were definitely in love but how much do you really know about marriage and what it is going to be like. You say those vows to each other but do you really know what they mean? what they will mean? what they look like in real life? I finally know the commitment I made 5 years ago and plan on recommitting to those promises we both made to each other back then. There is no place else I'd rather be then with Marvin. He is everything to me and I never want to imagine my life without him. He truly is my partner in life and I am looking forward to many more years ahead!!
Preggy update: I am 24 weeks along (6 months) and cant believe how fast it is going by!! Baby H. will be here before we know it :) We picked a name, it's going to be Cross Emory Harrison and we are SO excited!!! Oh, did I mention we are having a boy??? Not sure if I posted that in the last post. I have been feeling great up until this past weekend when I decided to clean out the garage. I was up on a ladder, lifting stuff, filled up the Tahoe twice with stuff to take to the Goodwill, and sweeping etc. and I might have over done it a little bit. I started to feel very intense tightning in my stomach for about 20 hours after and had to go into the Labor & Delivery at the hospital! They monitored me for about and hour and told me all was well with Cross! They told me I was feeling like that because I definately over did it and they put me on modified bed rest! Not sure how that is going to work out seeing how I have lots of work to do but I will certainly try to relax as much as possible.
Wedding update: Morrissa got married Sept. 5th and it was amazing!! It was very busy leading up to her big day but well worth the final result. I drove up there the Thursday before her wedding, picked her dress up on the way and once I got there we headed to dinner with the family. Then we headed to the Rehearsal which was very smooth and then back to her place to just hang out with her parents. Friday we got up, hit Starbucks of course, got our nails done and ran a bunch of errands. The rehearsal dinner was that night at her house and that went very well too!! We exchanged gifts, cried, and remembered our many childhood memories. It was great being with Morrissa and her entire family!! Saturday was the big day, we woke up (too early) and got ready for hair/makeup! Stephanie and Mary came over to work their magic on all of the girls and then Josh & Ariel came to shoot the pics! It was a perfect start to a perfect day!! The wedding was flawless, nothing went wrong, we had so much fun and I want to do it again!! :) Sunday we had a family brunch and said goodbye to out of town family that was leaving that day. Shay was awesome as the ring bearer too!! He had so much fun, danced all night on the dance floor and didnt go to be until about 1am!! What a little trooper :)
~Work wise things are going amazing!! I am filling up my calendar for next year and things are very busy! I got a new website last month, a new blog and am so excited for what next year has to bring. I am so thankful also to still have Richelle with me (it's been almost 2 years) and excited she has agreed to stay on through part of next year :) LOVE HER and could not do it without her! Other very exciting things we are now doing are Candy Buffets. Specific to theme and color. I will try to post some pictures soon.
Marvin & Shay: Marvin and Shay are doing great. Marv is busy as usual with work and taking care of us. I feel so blessed to have him in my life. He truly is the best husband ever and I love him so much!! Shay is as amazing as ever! He surprises me every day, makes me laugh and just smile in awe of him. He is growing fast and getting too smart :) He's in school twice a week and is LOVING it. We are thinking of putting him in for 3 days since he likes it so much. Might also help me have that time once the baby comes. Things are going great here at home with our little family. We could not be happier with what we have and for baby Cross to arrive on January 1st!
