Best mom (and grandmom) ever!

Yesterday I was hard at work playing cards answering life and death phone calls when one of the girls from the front office comes down to the phone room and hands me this:

Inside the bag were the mini breakfast sandwiches that I adore but can never get to Chick-fil-A early enough to get. I hadn't even mentioned them to my mom, and she drove out to the far edge of Riverside to pick me up some and surprise me with them. How fantastic is she?? Yeah, I lucked out in the Mom department!

How I love that man...

So Chris and I talked about Valentine's Day, and decided we weren't going to do anything this year. No gifts, no cards, and we'd go out to dinner a few weeks later to celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary instead. Plus, we both worked all day and had to get up early the next day. We're just getting too old to celebrate holidays on weeknights I guess!

So Valentine's Day rolls around, and off to work I go. All around me, my coworkers are getting flowers delivered to them from husbands and boyfriends. I was still happy with our decision not to buy anything, but I have to admit I was just a teensy bit jealous of the beautiful bouquets surrounding me. And lo and behold, look what was delivered to me!

Chris totally ignored our mutual decision to not get each other anything for Valentine's Day. And I totally love him for it!

Just a little bit of news...

You may have noticed I haven't posted anything on my blog in a little while. I could give you lots of reasons, but the main one is that I've had one certain thing on my mind for a couple of weeks now. I wasn't quite ready to share it, but since I couldn't think about anything else, I didn't have anything else to talk about! But it's finally time to share...

I'm pregnant!!

I'm just over 8 weeks along, and due September 21st. I had my 8 week appointment on Tuesday and Chris and I got to see the heartbeat. It was so strong and fast and...alright, I admit it, I cried a little when I saw it. But just a little! :) It's been quite a journey to get here, and we're just thrilled! Keep us in your prayers, and get ready to meet the newest Strautman this September!
