Christmas 2009

It’s been quite an eventful Christmas season so far! We went from thinking nobody was going to be here this Christmas from my side of the family…remember my Mom and Dad were supposed to come visit this weekend….then Bonnie had baby Jarrett all of a sudden….and then Dad decided to still drive to Texas to visit in a freak snow storm on Thursday night! We were able to Skype with Bonnie, my Mom, and Nannie last night and she put Jarrett in front of the computer. He is so precious and he’s our little Christmas baby 🙂

It’s been great having Dad here so far and I’m so thankful he made it here okay. We spent yesterday at Terence’s parents house and had a wonderful time there as always! We are both so blessed to have such wonderful parents. Today we’ve been running around and Terence and I got a Costco card (for the mother load of diapers we will be buying this next year!)

Tonight we are going to another Christmas party and tomorrow my Mom and Nannie will fly into Dallas and are going to stay over night here. I’m so excited they will all be stopping by, even for just a little bit and it’s exciting to have our first house guests! I know it’s going to be hard for my Mom to leave Vegas and the baby behind. She will be doing this again in a couple of months though! ahh! She will have to rack up those frequent flying miles I guess! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2009

I just got back from Arkansas yesterday and had a GREAT time! It was so good to see all my family and friends. Next time I see Bonnie she will have a baby and so will I! That is crazy to think about. God has truly blessed us in so many ways and I’m so thankful we get to share this experience together. It was funny walking around town because people would look at us weird…double take….you are twins AND pregnant too??? That is crazy! ha…ha…

I have about a bazzillion pictures from the baby shower to upload. I will probably do that tomorrow or tonight. Here are some pictures we got from Thanksgiving at Nannie and Papa’s farm. It’s always so pretty up there.

We decorated Papa’s grave for Christmas

On the back it has all our names…we miss our Papa so much! He would

have LOVED fishing with these boys!


What is baby Branch?

I have a poll going on the left hand side bar of this blog so you can vote what you think the baby is going be. Please vote on the poll and then come back and leave a comment with boy or girl and I’ll take your answers next Friday when we find out what it is I will draw a name for a Starbucks card for one of you who guesses correctly!!! Go for it! I can’t have Starbucks so maybe YOU can have some for me!

So Blessed

I came home from work a couple days ago and I took at test….I’ve been EXTREMELY tired lately. It was POSITIVE!!!! I can’t hardly believe it! I went to the doctor yesterday to get my blood work done so I just ask that you all pray that everything will be alright. They estimated I am around 5 1/2-6 weeks….still VERY early. I am so behind on everything and SO tired…yesterday when I got home from work I slept from 6pm until this morning…..

We are thrilled…Terence is still in shock I think! I am so excited that Bonnie and I will get to experience this journey together. We’ve done everything together so I guess this is only fitting (it’s a twin thing!) The Lord has the perfect timing for everything! Lots of decisions to make in the coming months….and I am still praying for each and every one of you that desire to be a mother, I KNOW God has a perfect plan for you and in His time it will happen. Love, Becky
Normally I would write more….but I am exhausted….sorry….

28th Birthday

I woke up this morning and Ter-Bear cooked us breakfast….bacon, eggs, and fruit. We headed to Frisco to try out The Cupcakery. There is one in Vegas where Bonnie lives and they recently put one here in Texas too.
It was sooooo GOOD!

MMMMMMMM…………..
You see this Bon??? Everything is BETTER in Texas! ha..ha..
Coffee…

Yummy tiramisu from Maggiano’s Friday night…seriously the best tiramisu I’ve ever had!

Sweet gift from my co-workers…I love them!

I’ve been wanting new bedding for awhile and today we got new shams, quilt, and euro shams from Restoration Hardware. I love that place!

Also got two pillows for the sofa to break up all the BROWN

A soft furry throw for me because I am always cold and I live with Terence the “living furnace”

I had a wonderful birthday today! Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes I feel so loved and blessed! I’m getting old ya’ll…30 is right around the corner!!!!

Mom’s Birthday Bash

This is going to be a loooong post because it includes the rest of my trip home and Mom’s 50th birthday party. I have the best family in the world and I feel so blessed every time I go home. I love you Mommy and Daddy and thank you for everything…I could not have asked God to give me better parents. And Mom, you don’t look a day over 40!
XOXO Becky

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR SWEET MOMMY! WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!

10 YEARS!!!! WHAT?

I guess there was a reason for posting all those yearbook pictures previously. This year is my ten year high school “reunion”. I don’t think I want to go though. I mean the people I was friends with in high school that I really would want to see I still talk to. There are a lot of people I don’t really care to see! I remember when I graduated imagining how my life would be ten years from that point, and I can say it’s definitely nothing like I imagined it. I wouldn’t have it any other way….I have the greatest husband and the best family and friends. The Lord had truly blessed me in more ways than I could imagine!

One of mine and Bonnie’s favorite movies has always been “Romy & Michelle’s High school Reunion”. We used to watch it over and over! We even bought the sound track to it. I think I even made Terence watch it on our first date…poor guy! And he married me anyways!

Did ya’ll go to your 10 year reunion? How was it?

-If you haven’t listened to Britney Spears new CD “Circus” it is SO good! An excellent work out CD. She is definitely making a come back!Here is one of our “Romy & Michelle” poses!
