June brought us the beginning of summer and we were loving the weather. With June came the celebration of our niece Rachel's bday with a visit from the reptiles and a quick little weekend getaway for David and I to Casino Morongo. I laid out by the pool and David took his chances in the Poker room...which turned out to be in his favor because he won some nice little money. :-)
July brought with it time for celebration. We celebrated 4th of July with our friends and a pool party at Bob's house and watched some fireworks. July also brought my 28th bday. :-) David surprised me with a weekend trip to Vegas with our good friends Brad and Marissa and my brother. We also through a little pool party at my parents. All in all...it was a success :-)
August began with our niece Tatiana's 2nd bday party complete with a petting zoo and everything. Right after that we celebrated our nephew Ethan's bday with a game at Dodger stadium. After a quick business trip for David to New York, he came back and we piled into the motorhome for a trip to the Delta with all of our good friends. The trip was a success and we came back with minimal bruises from wakeboarding and some good partying was had. :-) August 27th was the day that little Natalie came into this world....my best friend Christie welcomed her beautiful daughter that day. :-)
September was a month to remember. David and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary!! :-) The first year of our marriage was the best year of my life and I am looking forward to many many more and looking forward to falling in love with my husband more and more every day and year. We celebrated our anniversary with a little cruise to the Caribbean. 8 days, 5 exotic islands and 5 pounds each later...we returned with smiles on our faces :-) It was definitely a trip to remember. :-)
October brought us the best news of the year. On October 29th we found out that on July 7, 2010 the Murphys will officially be a PARTY OF THREE!! :-) We couldn't have been happier to find out that we will be expecting our first little one later this year. We ended October with a Halloween party at Bob's house...which proved to be extremely difficult to "pretend to be drinking" with everyone. :-) But we pulled it off. :-)
November was partly an adjustment to getting used to being pregnant and being excited and nervous and scared all together. We had our first appointment and saw our little peanut for the first time at 6 weeks. (picture coming in another post :-) ). The beginning of November also brought with it a little trip for me to Oregon to visit my best friend Christie and her family. I had so much fun with her and the kids...I never wanted to leave!! We ended November with Thanksgiving at my parents house letting my family know the big news about Baby Murphy. And the next day we drove to Palm Springs for Murphy thanksgiving and let David's family know. :-) Let's just say the families are ecstatic. :-)
December brought with it the end of the year and the end of our first trimester! :-) We were excited for both!! :-) A few Christmas parties and lots of naps later...we found our selves at Christmas. We pretty much let the cat out of the bag about Baby Murphy this month to the rest of the family and friends. We celebrated Christmas and New years with family and friends.
And with that...it brings us to 2010! Needless to say...2009 brought us some adventures, struggles, surprises, good things and bad...but I can honestly say that 2010 will be GREAT for us. We couldn't be happier and we can't wait to see what lies ahead...besides dirty diapers :-) I'm excited to our journey as new parents, I'm excited to continue with my passion for photography and I'm just excited to see where God takes us from here.
I'll post our ultrasound pics later on tonight so that everyone can see our precious peanut. :-) But for now I'll leave you all with some pictures from our cruise:
Until next time,
-Me
