Summer 2012

This has been a very busy summer for us. I just wanted to upload some photos I have...

I took 2 trips to Montana. The first trip was supposed to be so I could meet my nephew, Hank, but he didn't want to cooperate. Instead, I spent a lot of quality time with my very pregnant sister, Chanda:

This is her at 41+ weeks preganant and so excited that I'm taking her picture :)

Here is Mateo, very excited for the impending arrival:

I got to meet up with some friends for dinner (we went to elementary school together!!) Central Heights ladies:

Dannialle and Megan

Angie, Melissa, and baby Olive

Besties!

Pregnant Ladies! :)

Then we went to MT again in July, when we did actually get to meet Hank! Here is the handsome fellow:

Happy Family!

The end of July was more family time with a Fust family reunion in Medora, ND. I have no photos from that, but it was a fun time and got to see a lot of family that I hadn't seen since the last reunion.

The first weekend of August was a family trip to Ortonville, MN with Aaron's immediate family - mom, brother, sister and her husband and daughter.

Paddleboat fun!

Tessa sharing her orange juice with Aaron - so generous :)

And last, but not least, here is a picture of the bump at 24 weeks! Only 16 weeks left to go - yea!!

 I know I don't look very happy, but I was just concentrating on getting a good photo - harder than it looks!

Welcome to The Blog!!!

Welcome to my blog. My name is Jessica, this is me:

This is me with my handsome husband, Aaron:



We both went to the University of Minnesota (can you tell we're fans??). Aaron was friends with our neighbors and we met at a party at their house. We met 10 yrs ago this November - I can't believe it's been so long! We just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary!

 

These are our ADORABLE puppies, they are two of the joys of our lives:

This is where Lola likes to be whenever I'm in the kitchen... she's very good at helping me clean up food I drop on the floor.

And this is our little Fritter Monkey arriving in December:

We could not be more happy, excited, terrified...

This blog is intended to be generally about my (our) life to share with our friends and family who don't get to see us all the time. Probably 3 people will read this on a consistant basis - but even that makes it worthwhile :) Love you guys!
