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!

Fall Favorites

Fall is my favorite time of year, actually it's Jephs too! We love everything about Fall!!!! I just had to post about fall...in fact over the next couple months everything I post about will have to do with Fall. So whether you like Fall or not I hope by the end of this wondeful Fall season you will love Fall too!

Things I love about Fall:

Football...Seahawks and Beavers!
Weather...crisp chill, rain, storms basically all weather.
Food...whether it's soup/stew, hot chocolate, pie, casseroles, and we can't forget the holiday food.
Beverages at Starbucks...caramel apple cider,pumpkin spice latte,peppermint mocha
Fall Decor...I just love scarecrows, pumpkins, serveware is fall like leaf plates, and apple shaped bowl.
Clothes and Shoes: Boots, tights, hats, sweaters, wraps, pants, jeans, scarves, gloves, coats..you name it fall clothes rock!
Fall is the beginnng of harvest parties where we carve pumpkins, holidays are right around the corner...Fall puts a spring in my step and makes me feel alive. Nothing beats Fall and I am so thankful God gave us this magical time of year. I hope you enjoy Fall too! :)

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!

An Update

So it's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess I was discouraged and just trying to focus on so many other things. :)Now summer is over and fall is here so our lives just keep getting busier but honestly better then they have been in so long. I'm really seeing God's faithfulness and direction in our lives and feeling content. Last month our summer ended with a huge trip down to a Stanford/OSU Beaver game in Palo Alto California...we also got to go down to Santa Cruz and the boardwalk, see family and friends and just get away. Here are some pics from Summers end for us...

Football Preseason is Here!!!!

Finally...after many long months of everything but football...tonight the first preseason game is officially on!!! :) It's such a relief for Jeph and I...we are so excited to finally have football back on!!!! As you know we are crazy for our Seahawks and Oregon State Beavers!! My dad has season tickets to the Beavers and has given us a ticket to every game we want!! Seahawks we have shared season tickets with my uncle Jim for the last few years. This year we put in for our own season tickets(so by next year) we should have them...we still intend to attend 3 games in Seattle this year we just can't ever live without it now!!:)

So tonight we are watching Sunday Night Football...eating dinner and finally feeling like it's time for fall and football!!!

Bring it on!!!

Cats

Well, Jeph and I have decided to get cats. They are 5 month old brothers with the best personalities. They are so sweet...we had a visit at our house last week and they were awesome!:) I can't wait!! By the end of July we will have 2 indoor cats..I'm actually excited to have cats and I hope that they will help me relax!
Here are some pics of Beowulf and Sebastian!

Happy Anniversary!!

6 years ago fourth of July weekend on the 6th I married my best friend and soul mate Jeph in a nighttime church wedding. There were lots of white candles, roses, friends and family...most of all it's the day Jeph and I began our life together. We've been through so much since we got together 7 years ago...but it's all been worth it every bit. If I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat. It's been an amazing journey and I know we will continue to grow together and continue this journey. Only God knows what is in store for us but I'm excited to see God's plan for us!

Thanks honey for being an amazing husband! Although your not perfect...you strive to be the best man of God you can be and you are leading our family in God's ways. You are the best husband in the world and I know someday you will make an amazing father! I love you babe!! Lets always go from here....Because God led me to you we now are becoming who God wants us to be. I will always love you! Thanks for your continuing romanticness, love, support, kindness, willingness to always try, thoughtfulness. You always try to serve God the best you can and you attack life with amazing zest/devotion...thanks for being who you are!
