One Year

Today, I went out to lunch with Heather, Clark and Kristy and came home to find this waiting on the kitchen table for me:

A single orange gerber daisy. My favorite! Underneath it was a sweet little note from Chad. He spent his lunch break doing that for me. I was so surprised! Chad has never really done anything like this for me before. Of course, I don't mind that he doesn't. He already has this crazy ability to make me feel special in some way everyday.

He did it for our "first anniversary." We went on our first date a year ago today. I haven't even thought much of it except for looking back on all that has happened during that time. I never thought Chad would do anything for it but I guess I was wrong :). It has been a crazy year. We went through a lot together leading up to the wedding and, of course, we've been through a lot since the wedding. It's definitely been a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn't want anyone else sitting beside me. Can't wait for all the crazy years ahead of us!

The Start of Baby Phelps' Wardrobe

Chad and I went shopping earlier this week. I need new church clothes so we went on the hunt for clothes that I could wear now and keep wearing as I grow. We went to Ross and quickly ended up in the baby section. I've been really anxious to find out the sex of the baby so I could start buying clothes here and there. There are so many great deals out there! Anyways, as we were looking at clothes for boys we found a couple good finds. This is the first one:

This would be great if we have a boy but we also thought it would be great for our little girl as well! Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not really a girly girl. Never have been. Although I am so excited to buy all the cute girly clothes if we have a girl, this would be great to even it out. And if this girl is anything like her mom, she will eventually make someone cry. When I was little I was so possessive of my toys that I would throw a fit whenever I had a friend over and they played with them. I even scratched someone so bad that she started bleeding. And my dad caught me on film pushing someone off a toy tractor and then jumping on it. I was one tough cookie and I hope any girls we have get a little ounce of that...although, maybe not that bad! ;)

This was the other onesie that we found:

They had a few Dr. Seuss ones. We didn't see this one at first. We were looking at couple and then I noticed there were more and found this one. And of course this would be our pick! Considering Chad proposed to me with this book. I can't wait to read that book to our kids along with all the other storybooks. Chad and I would love to build our own house someday and I told him we had to wait and have at least one kid after that happens so I can decorate the nursery with a Dr. Seuss theme. What can I say?? I love Dr. Seuss!

So those are our first baby buys! We're way excited! :)
