Aaron's 29th Birthday...almost the big 30!

To celebrate Aaron's last 20 something birthday we had friends over and enjoyed a dinner/sunset at The Oasis restaurant. Thanks for celebrating with us!

Cat's out of the bag!

We told our TX friends about the upcoming arrival. Also, BIG CONGRATS to John & Lauren on their engagement!!

Valentines Day!!

Aaron and I had very simple plans for this years V-day. It was a work day for Aaron and my day off, so I stayed home cleaned the house and unpacked boxes. I took a pregnancy test in the morning because "aunt flow" was a few days late and we were hoping that we were preggers....well it was negative, so we went about our day as usual. Around 4pm I started getting ready and before I jumped in the shower I decided to take another test (thanks to my friend Stacie convincing me to!!). To my complete shock it came up PREGNANT!! I was SO excited, but it definitely didn't sink in right away, even though we were trying. I had already gotten Aaron a present for Valentines, but decided that it would be cute to decorate a little box and put the test in the box and give it to him after he got home from work. I had to pick Aaron up from work on this day, so on the way home I didn't say anything and we stopped and got some things to cook for dinner. He got home and saw his other present (a new TV) and was very excited and then I handed him the other little box. He unwrapped it looked puzzled for a second and then screamed "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!! ARE YOU SERIOUS??" he picked me up and twirled me around and we both cried! We are so excited! What a wonderful and memorable Valentines Day!

NEW HOUSE!

We finally moved into our new house! It was NOT an easy process, as the builder was not as nice to work with as our last house, but all worked out and we are finally Texas home owners! We have lots of work ahead of us!!

Lucy's 1st Birthday!!!

Wow...how time flys by! Our little girl turned one year's old on January 19th. She got to have a very special day playing with her friend Diego.

Jackie's Visit

Our wonderful friend Jackie came over New Years to visit and we had a GREAT time with her (minus a small flu bug)!! Thanks for coming to visit Jacks...you are the bestest friend a girl could ever ask for! Love ya.

Trail of lights 5K

Austin has a very cool Christmas light display in Zilker park and the night before it opens they have a 5k through the park. We had tons of fun and we made a pack to do it each year with our friends Tom and Stacie.

Thanksgiving in Austin

Well, this year was a little bit different for us because we weren't able to go home an d see our families, but we made the best of it!! We went over to a friend's house and enjoyed all the fixin's. I even baked 2 pies and my Aunt Beth's famous "green goop" (broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole). I also made my mom's shrimp salad and all the appetizers. We played darts, sang karaoke and kicked around a hackie sack! Thanks for inviting us over Fatemeh and Jeff!
