LAH

I cannot tell you how much the two people in the above picture mean to me!! You all know that the baby girl is WRG...but you may not know that the beautiful lady in the picture is my BEST friend LAH! She joined my sorority my third year of college. We became instant friends and that friendship has done nothing but grow over the last 8 years! She is th eperosn I know I can talk to about anything and she will always make me feel better. She is truly the epitome of a BEST FRIEND!

She is going to make me an Aunt in February!! I am so excited for her and Eric! WRG, Kyle and I cannot wait to me Baby Hammar!! She is going to make the most amazing mommy! She is a woman who loves God and knows that she must live her life for Him! She knows that the power of prayer and the belief that God will make it happen is the way to live. She inspires me to become a better person! I sometimes have a difficult time placing my whole life in God's hands. LAH has helped me realize that to have the best life possible, I have to leave it all up to him! She is a wonderful teacher and wife! I would love to work with such and amazing person and wonderful teacher! I am so lucky that God put us in each other's lives!

We cannot wait to find out this weekend whether Baby Hammar is a girl or boy!! LAH, I hope you know how much you mean to me!!

Catching up

Here are a few things just to catch everyone up on what has been going on around here.


  • I get to spend EVERY day ALL day with my sweet little girl! I love every minute of it!

  • Kyle is enjoying working at PCHS. He has workouts 3 days a week....which is much better than 5 days so we are getting lots of time together too.

  • I am not as ahead on my school work as I thought I would be. I thought being out of school, I would get realyl ahead and not procrastinate.....but I was wrong. I would rather spend my days playing with WRG than doing school work and that is what I do.

  • I am looking forward to our vacations coming up....San Antonio June 30-July3 (just Kyle and me ~ WRG is staying with grandparents) and Helen July 6-9

  • I'm not looking forward to the 12-15 page paper that is due July 3....but I have to get it turned in by June 29.

I promise to do better blogging

Spring break 2011

This year spring break was great!! I got to spend 9 days with my baby girl and husband!! We spent the first half of the week at home and then went to Myrtle Beach for the last half of the week. Here are some pictures of WRG's first beach trip (they are a little out of order)!


A good nap after a long day on the beach and in the pool


Family picture before dinner


Relaxing on the beach! :) This is one of my favorite pictures



Paige (a family friend ~ whom I watched grow up. Cannot believe she is 17) was at Myrtle Beach too and stayed a few hotels down the beach from us. She walked up the beach to see us. So glad we got to see her!



Testing out the ocean....not too sure about it!



Our first morning at the beach!



Sitting with Papa Tug on the balcony showing off her sunglasses and hat! Isn't she cute?!?!?!



Playing on her mat while everyone got ready for the beach.



Eating oatmeal....if you look closely, you see that she has it everywhere!


I have always loved having breaks from school but now they are even more special and fun because that means I get to spend more time with my baby girl!! I love every minute I get with her and am counting down the days til summer break!! :)
