Having fun in the Greatest State!

Hi everyone :) We are just hanging out in Arizona with Josh's family. And yes, it is over 100 degrees, but it really is a dry heat. They have very little humidity here so its hot, but not unbearable hot like SA. We spent the weekend doing barbeques, doing a Phillipines dinner, playing games and hanging out with his family. I know I'm having a great time but I cant wait to get to Hawaii. More pictures to come!
Our last night in our apartment. Apartment spotless, dog cleaned, slept on the floor. But we are finally out of SA so no complaints. See the look of happiness on our faces? Our 14 hour trip to Arizona went great, Nash did so well in the car.

Not very clear because its from a cell phone, but this is my 17 week photo. Still not showing a lot... but we get to find out the sex soon!

It's Moving Day!

The day has finally come! Okay...its actually tomorrow. But since my husband wants to pack up the computer tonight, tonight is my last night blogging for awhile. Especially since the blog website is blocked at work (who do they think they are, anyways?). I'll do my best once we get to arizona in a week to give an update or even post some pictures. After 2 1/2 years of constant construction and not getting anywhere without sitting in traffic, and after sitting in a parking lot (aka the frontage road to our house) for 45 minutes friday night just to get two blocks, I have one thing to say --- Adios San Antonio! Go Lakers!

Oh, I have one last thing to say, and I cant wait to post the pictures. My awesome and very thoughtful SA girlfriends threw Josh and I a suprise Aloha/Adios party today! We went over to my friend Vicky's house to pick her up for a lunch date, and SUPRISE........backyard party in our honor! So thanks so much, Miss Vicky, Miss Alex, Matt and Eric for the amazing going away party. And the incredible food. You four have become very close friends of ours since we became a couple and will always hold a special place in our hearts. :) sniffle. sniffle.

Just livin the dream.....

So seriously....who knew that people were so mean to pregnant women? I mean, seriously, preggo emotions are already haywire, why would someone tell a pregnant women that they dont look pregnant, they just look fat? A fellow mom, too! So in honor of that specific mommy who told me that....I got this shirt! I cannot help it that I am in that stage where I dont look normal...yet dont look preggo.....I also cannot help it that I live for ice cream and double cheeseburgers. Its not me....its the baby!!!!!!!!!

These are pictures of our apartment in absolute disarray. I love moving time! Even though the Army movers pack everything for us, there are still strict rules about what we can take, and what goes in each shipment. Plus, the biggest shipment of all (almost all our household stuff) wont arrive in Hawaii until the end of July or sometime in August. So we have to sort between what we can fit in four suitcases, what we can leave behind, what we need in the express pack (arrives mid-July) and what goes in the big shipment.

Today is Josh's 24th Birthday! Happy Birthday Sweetie Pie....it's your last birthday before you become a daddy! We are going to Peter Piper's to eat pizza, dairy queen for desert, and then going to watch "Kung Fu Panda."

First Baby Bump Picture

At the request of Grandma....we are going to start taking monthly baby Engstrom pictures. I am over 14 weeks, or almost 4 months. With less then six months to go! We will find out the sex of the baby (and tell everyone) whenever we do our first prenatal appointment in Hawaii, probably at the end of July. We could find out sooner but with the move and the Arizona vacation, its not possible. I know its itty bitty...but its a bump nonetheless!

Sea World

Wedding Pictures, thanks to my new father in law

See! Josh put cake on my face as well!

Is it just me, or does the way our topper is set up

make it look like the bride is punching the groom?

The dip and kiss pose! Lets see if he can hold me up in five months!

Sigh......I married the most beautiful man ever.....

Mario Cart

What the brothers and I do best....play some Mario Cart! (we eventually let Josh play, too)

College Graduation

SUMMA CUM LAUDE!!!!!!!

This picture was taken right after I gave Josh his suprise 49ers gift. First, we suprised him with a 49ers rehearsel dinner (thanks mom and Carolynn!), a 49ers cake, a 49ers football card signed by Frank Gore, and for the Grand Finale...2 49ers hats, 2 49ers shirts, and an autographed 49ers picture signed by Coach Nolan wishing us well and congratulations. Whoever says giving is better then recieving was not lying!

Some wedding pics.... Plus, we had our second prenatal visit this morning and got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It took five minutes for the doc to find the heartbeat....so we were getting a little worried, but finally the doc found it at 170 bpm. Oh, and she changed my due date to Nov. 29th, so I am almost 13 weeks along :)

Our last weekend at Dave & Wendy's

These pictures are from Dave and Wendys this past weekend. Hey, has anyone ever noticed the correlation between Dave and Wendy? You know...Dave Thomas (founder of Wendy's restaurant) and Wendy's????? HA! I just thought of that! Anyways, we had a great time (as always) at their house. My very emotional, pregnant self had a hard time leaving because it is the last time we will see them there. We have watched Alaina grow up over the last few years and it is very hard to think about not having them as such a big part of our life. Sniffle. LOVE the pregnancy hormones!!!!!!!

Just wanted to see if I could actually blog! This is mine and Josh's first picture taken together on the night we met...3 years ago... :)
