My Dad.

Happy Father's Day to my Pops!
I am so blessed and fortunate to have grown up with such an amazing, integral, loving father. He really set the standards high for treating me like such a princess while growing up.
A funny story...When Mika and I first started dating, Mika noticed at dinner when we had steak that my Dad still cut up my meat for me-I was 17 at the time..weird I know!. Mika said he knew this girl must be special since her Dad took such good care of her. He said he realized right away that he needed to handle me with care.
My Dad has always been there for us. He will drop almost anything to come help any of his kids. He is the most gentle, caring, loving Dad. We are so blessed to have him in our lives!

Me and my Dad.

Pops and his girls!

Happy Father's Day To Be to my husband! You're love for this baby already amazes me. I can't wait for you to meet our baby and start the journey of fatherhood. I know without a doubt that you will be the greatest Dad!

So much love already.

Happy Anniversary to my one and only.

Wow I can't believe it's been 5 years since I said "I do"! Last year at this time I was getting ready and anxiously waiting to see my groom. When I saw him all my nerves melted away and all I could do was smile.

our first look.

I have learnt so much about love, marriage and the meaning of family in the past 5 years.
I've learnt....
That you always need to put your spouse before anyone else.
Pray together everyday.
Compromise.
Be best friends.
Set aside time to spend quality time together.
Do special little things for each other often.

Today as I reflect the past 5 years of our marriage, I am really feeling blessed. I have the most amazing, loving and supportive husband. He knows my needs and knows how to love me perfectly.
After 5 years of marriage we are ready and SO excited to start the journey of becoming parents together!

I love you!

A new chapter.

Well today marks my first official day of my maternity leave. A new chapter has begun! I had to admit it feels a little strange thinking that next week I will be at home getting ready for the baby to come rather than working at Tracycakes.
I feel overwhelmed with my abundance of time that I don't even know where to start! I am really looking forward to getting our home ready for the baby. We have everything we need but I want to organize and get the baby's room all set up! Time to nest!
Only 4 more weeks until we get to meet our sweet baby. My pregnancy is still going really well! I feel so blessed. I'm really trying to cherish every little kick and hiccup.
Well that's all for today. I think I might head to our local farmers market and then get some much needed stuff around the house done!

Flowers from my mama in celebration of me becoming a mama!

4 more weeks till we get to meet you! give or take....!
