Good news...

Well, that cat's out of the bag so I figured I should let the blog world in on the not-so-secret secret.  Are you ready for this...

I'm Pregnant!

Yay!  I am so excited!  I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow.  Luckily for me, I have only been sick once!  The baby is due in May, and I graduate in April so the timing is pretty much perfect.  I am so excited to be a mom.   

I have been so blessed to be surrounded by such great moms.  My mom, my sister, my grandmas, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-laws, and my aunts have all been outstanding examples of what motherhood is and should be.  Now, I am not ignorant enough to believe that the road won't be rocky, but I now the blessings will greatly outweigh the hardships.  

I know that being a wife and a mother are two of the greatest callings and responsibilities I can have in this life.  I pray I can live worthily for this special and wonderful opportunity!

I hope and pray that Makay and I can create a worthy home for one of Heavenly Father's babies. 

I am so excited!
