Pregnancy

Well I have made it to 35 weeks now!!!! Its so crazy! I thought I would post a few pictures, they were taken at 32 weeks. Things are kinda crazy, I am still living at my parents and due July, 27 2010. Due to a minor set back in Stephen's training in Arizona, he is not scheduled to come home till August, 5 2010. Yup do the math..... there is more than a 90% chance he will not be able to be here for the birth of our son! Kinda a sad day! There will be plenty of pictures and video to pass along the news!
I am feeling alright, just very uncomfortable and ready to pop. Starting to feel sick to my stomach again, and just super tired! To bad I still have 5 weeks left! I am measuring big, and they don't think that Anderson is going to be a small child! I hope that he proves us all wrong! Small would be just fine with me!
Well we are counting down the days....we cant wait to finally be parents and meet little Anderson!

Fort Huachucha

Well Stephen is really enjoing his training in Arizona, as am I. I have been down to visit him twice since he has been there and really hope to go again! The first time I was there, he was not allowed to leave the base. In other words there was not a lot for us to do...... We hung out in the hotel, went to the PX, played games, and ate at the fast food joints on base.
Well I was lucky enough to go again this weekend! We got to leave base, it was so much fun. I got there on Friday and went to pick him up at his bay, we got Nathan as well and had dinner, we all just chatted and had a really good time. Then on Saturday morning we went to Tucson, we ate at the Olive Garden our favorite place, and went to the mall to just window shop and get out. I have never seen a bigger mall! I had to stop and rest a few times........My feet were swelling and I could not handle any more of Stephen's quick comebacks! Then we went to a steakhouse for dinner! I cant tell you how fun it is to sit and chat with him! He has down a lot of growing in the last few months and I really enjoy the person he is becoming! Sunday we decided to drive down to Tombstone, Az, it was a really cool city, we went in and out of all the little shops. We went and watched a comedy gun fight. Then had lunch at a saloon! It was a lot of fun! Sunday night we had dinner with Nathan, and then it was time to say our goodbyes! We hate saying them, and can't wait till he graduates in June and we wont have to say them again for a while!
All in all it was an amazing trip and I cant wait to go back!

Bills...

While we have been not living in the same state, we decided to take advantage of paying off some of our bills! Most of you know that my dad is an accountant, so on payday's I give my dad a call and he helps me decide what to pay, and how to to pay to it! It has been fantastic!!!! So far we have paid off my wedding ring (finally), Dental bill ( those of you that know me know how much that could have been), and also my CAR!!!! That was the biggest accomplishment! Now were working on a few small bills! I am so excited. Thanks dad for all of your help I could not do it alone!!!!!

AIT Training

Well As you all know Stephen graduated from basic training, February 5 2010. The next morning he was shipped to Fort Huachuca, in Sierra Vista Arizona. He is loving it there. He was allowed to keep his phone and laptop from the start. Which means I am loving it as well, I am able to talk to him everyday, and on weekends we even skype!
He started his classes the first week there and is doing fantastic at them. He has gotten 100% on both of the tests he has taken. On the first test there were about 8 people to get 100% and on the second there were about 16 to get 100% and not all the people that got 100% on the first test also got it on the second test! Which means there are only about 5 or 6 people that did what he did! His goal is to graduate in the top 10% of his class! So I wish him luck!!

Its a boy

The Monday before Stephen's basic training graduation, I decided to go to Fetal Photo and get an ultrasound, so that when I went to see Steve I could tell him if we were having a boy or a girl! Well we were positive that it was a girl! WRONG..... We are having a boy!!!! Stephen and I are so excited. He is due July 27 2010. During the ultrasound he never stopped moving! Kicking....jumping...pushing off of my tummy! I think we have another Oakley on our hands! We cant wait and hope that July gets here very fast!!

BCT Graduation......

Well after 12 long weeks, it finally happend! Its offical Stephen is now a soldier and I am an offical army wife! I have never been so proud of Stephen. He accomplished something very hard and rewarding! Also I have never seen a smile so big!
Well on Wednesday, my Mom, Bonnie, and Myself jumped on an airplane to South Carolina.that evening I hung out with some of the army wivevs. We had such a fun time just chatting and talking about our soldiers!
Early Thursday morning the fun began....we got up and got ready! We headed over to Fort Jackson and waited for 2 hours in the cold for family day to begin! When I say cold.....I mean I have never been so cold in my life! It finally started and all of the soldiers ran out of the woods, it was so cool! I got a little teary eyed! We rushed to the field to see Stephen it was so fun! The rest of the day, we hung out on base and found things to keep us busy! Such as shopping for baby clothes!!
Friday morning was graduation..... It was raining so hard so they moved it inside! Well you would not have known after looking at my mom and me you would have thought we played in the rain! We even had umbrellas!!! Well they had the graduation and then we got to hang with our soldiers all day long! we could even leave base this time! It was such a fun and amazing experience!

Merry Christmas

Well as most of you know I went to Hawaii the week before Christmas! I enjoyed my trip! Stephen came home on December 22 for 2 weeks! It was amazing to have him home for Christmas! I have missed him so much! We just hung out and did as much as we could squeeze into 2 weeks! We had a blast! We enjoyed Parties...Family.....and Olive Garden!

Then he went home! i got to go to the gate and wait for his plane to come it was so cool! Saying goodbye the second time was harder! But were almost done he graduates February 5, and then is off to Arizona with more privlages!
