October already!!

Well, we're finally doing it. Karissa and Jeff talked me into starting one of these things so here goes. Brandon and I have been married for almost 4 1/2 years now and life is definately in full swing!! We had our daughter, Claire Nicole on May 24th and she amazes me more and more everyday!! She was 8lb, 22in at birth and now weighs in at 16lbs and 26in so she is definately growing like a weed=) Having a child is so much different and more than I could have ever imagined and I thank God everyday for blessing us with this little angel.

As for Brandon, he is busy as ever! He is the district manager for Boyd Coffee here in Spokane and when he's not working he's "crossfitting." This is a new workout he started a couple of months ago and he literally has a different body from it! I'm not surprised though, he works hard at everything he does. Brandon is also a great Dad and Husband. There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing him with his daughter and she lights up everytime he comes in the room.

I am really happy these days. I am incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to stay at home with Claire and loving every minute of it. She will not take a bottle so this pretty much dictates my day=) I love to take her and Gracie (our 2 year old Golden Retriever) on walks and spend time with family and all of my good friends who have recently had little ones also! I will try and update this often and want to thank Karissa for talking me into starting!
