June ~ 2001

~ Jason and I in 2001 (I was pregnant here and had NO IDEA!) ~
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU IN OUR LIVES .... Your daddy's name is Jason and he will be 29 when you are born, mommy's name is Rebekah and she will be 24 when you are born .... We BOTH LOVE you VERY much! Mommy and Daddy met on Sept. 21, 1997 using America Online. It sounds VERY corny to say we met on the internet BUT if we hadn't of met that way we wouldn't be waiting for you to come! I grew up in Upstate New York my entire life and your daddy grew up in Southern Minnesota. We both have sisters and/or brothers and you already have cousins waiting for your arrival. Mommy was in her 3rd year of college when she met daddy and in May of 1998 I moved to Minnesota to "grow-up". Daddy was already living in the Twin Cities area because he went to college there so I figured there must be plenty of jobs available. Daddy is a Mechanical Designer and mommy is a Civil Engineering Technician. We both enjoy our jobs VERY much. Daddy has 1 sister named Adrienne but no brothers. Your paternal grandmother's name is Carol. Mommy has 2 sisters; Nicole & Jennifer and 1 brother; Harry. They are all married to Scott, Dave and Amanda respectively. Aunt Niki has 2 children named Amanda & Zachary and Aunt Jenny has 1 child named Justyn (he's the baby until you are born!) Your maternal grandparent's are named Harry (Butch) and Rita .... everyone is anxiously awaiting your arrival! We BOTH LOVE YOU VERY MUCH and can't wait until we can finally hold you in our arms and dream about your future! ~ This is a copy of the card I made for Jason ~
Since my sister Jenny is on her way to Minnesota and I took yesterday off to help out Carol I decided to take today off to get the house ready for visitors. I also realized that I was "late" and that maybe for "fun" I should take a home pregnancy test. (I mean there IS NO WAY that I am pregnant!)Once I got home from running errands I took the test and waited for the results .... when I saw that the test was positive I started crying!! Because Jason was at work and there was nobody else to call who wasn't I sat at home waiting until 4:30 when Jason would be home ... I waited and waited and waited and then Jason came home ... earlier I put the test in a gift bag with a card that read "I am just as excited as I can be ... to announce that we'll soon be a family of three!" Well Jason got home and I had him sit down and gave him my Anniversary Gift and videotaped him opening it ... the videotape is priceless ... I'm gonna be a daddy is what he said ....

We got some Sad News today, June 19th! Jason woke me up this morning before he left for work and he told me that Moe had passed away this morning. Moe is Jason's step-father and suffered from Lou Gehrig's Disease. Instead of going to work today Jason and I went to Albert Lea to help Carol out with all the funeral arrangements and to give some support ... OH and today is mine and Jason's 2nd Wedding Anniversary ... not a very happy day today :0(
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We got home from Jenny's wedding June 18th ... it is always GREAT to come back home and use YOUR shower and sleep in YOUR bed ... Jenny, Dave and Justyn are all on their way out to visit me and Jason right now ... they should get here on Thursday ... YIPPIE!
~ Me and my Best Friend Alyssa @ My Sister's Wedding - she was 8 mos pregnant here ~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jason and I were at my sister Jennifer's wedding today, we got to NY a few days ago since I am in Jenny's wedding. While we were at the reception all of my relatives kept asking "When are you and Jason going to have a baby?" I replied ... "I don't know yet, a few more years .." (Actually me and Jason had been trying for a few months and I was off the pill and had NO luck, right before Jenny's wedding I went to the Dr's to refill my pills and was waiting for my period to come to start them up again because I didn't want to be pregnant any later than August!)My BEST Friend Alyssa was there too and she was 8 months pregnant and I even remember saying to her ... "HAHAHA I am SO glad that that isn't me!" (I should have been careful about what I said huh?)
