Fabulous Friday!!

It's Friday and I've had one of the best days in my life! I felt good enough to go to biblestudy(it's been a long time), I got to go tricker treating with my niece Jaden and nephew Royce, I got to have lunch at La Tea Da with a bunch of great friends and I got my haircut(I love it!)...Wow!!! This day has been amazing, one of the best!!!! :) I feel so happy and content, life is so good and God is so good to me. (I'll post hair pics shortly)
I hope this friday keeps getting better and better...

7 years ago today...Jeph proposed.

Today is October 29th...7 years ago tonight Jeph sent me on a scavenger hunt to end up at one of our favorite places a balcony with a view of the bay. He had it all lit up with white lights and covered in rose petls, he was playing our song "The Luckiest" and he got down on one knee, he had this big, romantic speel/with card that he said and he took out the ring and asked if I would spend the rest of my life with him..it was so sweet, perfect, and romantic. :) Of course I said yes and 9 months later we got married 07/06/02.
Happy Anniversary babe...I love you so much!!!:)

Baby Troyer Ultrasound Pics!

So we have our first pics of our baby!!! We are 11 weeks and 1 day, the doctor said everything went well for our appointment and everything looks good and healthy. :)
Such a relief and an answer to prayer.
It was great the baby was moving around like crazy(hard to believe I can't feel it yet). It even turned around and looked at us and waved! It was so precious!
Now we are two months away from founding out the sex...so this idea we've had for 3 years we finally get to do...we will have the doctor write down what the baby is and we will go to the store and pick out a boy/girl outfit, have the cashier put the correct outfit in a giftbox and we will take it home and open it Christmas morning.
After seeing this little baby yesterday...it just made me feel so calm, at peace, full of joy, and thankfulness for God and His precious gift to us. We actually get to do all the things we said we'd always do. It makes me feel so blessed, and just happy! We have a 16 week appt the monday before Thanksgiving and on december 22 we get to find out the sex(well three days later). :)
So here are our first pics of our little sweetpea, we are so in love and so happy...God is so good!

In need of prayer

This morning I woke up and was getting for a babysitting job and the day....I started having some cramps and some bleeding. I started to freak out..to put it mildly.
I called the doctor and they told me to relax and rest for the day...so I'm lying in bed and relaxing, well actually stressing. I feel so worried about everything, we prayed that God would only allow us to get pregnant if it was the right time. Health issues, complications anything...that it would only happen if everything would work out ok.
Now here I am stressing, having some cramps and spotting stuck in bed worrying.

*Please God help me relax, protect my baby and me...please help me to trust you and not be afraid. Please give me my baby, I really want it and I really need you to help me, I'm afraid if I lose it I won't be ok. So much has been ripped away from me I can't have this happen to my baby too. Please, please have mercy..help my appt tomorrow to go so well and give me some peace.
1 Peter 5:7

We are having a Baby!!!

Jeph and I are having a baby!!!!!!!! Here are some pics from the day we found out...we are so excited and can't believe God is blessing us with this wonderful part of life! We already had our first appointment and they said everything looks good so far. We have our first ultrasound appointment in two weeks and we are both getting more and more excited!!
We have a nursery plan for each sex so once we find out at Christmas what the baby is..we can get started. :) We have a list of projects to finish in the next few months but we are so excited it doesn't matter that we have things to do. :)
We are just so happy right now and feel so blessed by God that we can hardly contain ourselves! Check back often for Baby Troyer updates!

Beach Pics

On Sunday Jeph and I got to go down to Pelican Pub and celebrate my Uncle Jims 50th birthday! We spent the afternoon in Lincoln City we dropped stuff off at Goodwill, we stopped at the craft store and picked up some things. Then we headed to Cape Kiwanda a little early..we spent an hour at the beach and took some great beach photos for our beach bathroom. It was so warm and sunny we just enjoyed ourselves so much. :) Here are some photos from our wonderful Sunday afternoon...a much needed time to relax and be together...to top it off we got to have a wonderful dinner with family!
