Congratulations Tim and Jessica!

Ryan's younger brother Tim got married last weekend in Greenwood, IN. It was a perfect day, and the couple was so calm and happy. We wish them the very best as they begin their new life together! Congratulations!!





Due to the wedding, Ryan and I were able to be in Indiana for about a week. It was so nice to be home and spend time with family. We left the Eddy home early Tuesday morning to make the long drive back to Fort Collins, only this time my parents tagged along with us! Yay! It was a fun road trip, and Mom and Pop definitely kept us entertained. They are an absolute riot. Ha!

On our way we were able to stop in St. Louis to visit my dear friend and college roommate Diane. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see her husband Bill because he was working. At least we finally got to meet their little boys, Kahlua and Oreo. :) The visit was brief since we needed to get back on the road, but I am so thankful it worked out for us to see her and their beautiful new home! And the road trip continued...

Instead of making the 18+ hour drive in one day as we usually do, we decided to stop for a nice dinner and hotel stay in Hays, Kansas...On a side note I praise God that I did not grow up in Kansas! haha.

We arrived in Fort Collins Wednesday afternoon, and we are so happy that my parents are here with us for a while. They are both teachers, so they are on no set schedule this summer. When they are ready (and we hope it's not too soon) they will catch a plane to Phoenix to visit Jake, Kim, Elijah, Samara, plus their 3rd one on the way! Kim is due just 5 weeks after I am due!

June 12th

Four years ago today I married the most incredible man! He amazes me everyday, and I am the luckiest girl in the world to be his wife. We have plans to go to Jay's Bistro tonight to listen to live jazz while enjoying a glass of wine (chill out...I promise I'll only have water...maybe...I'm kidding). Ryan's favorite dessert is carrot cake, so I made one from scratch along with homemade cream cheese frosting. Yumm! I can't wait to just be with him tonight. He's the best! I love my Punky!

Congrats Keah and Steve!

Our friends Keah and Steve got married last night at the Boettcher Mansion in Golden, CO. Yes people, I drove up (and down) the mountain. :) Anyway, it was such a beautiful and intimate ceremony and reception. We had a great time and couldn't be happier for two phenomenal people.

Thank you, Sara!

OH MY GOSH!! Sara sent me all of her maternity clothes! She and I danced together at BSU, and she had a beautiful baby boy last December. How thoughtful is she?! I have a whole new wardrobe to wear, and these clothes are the cutest I've ever seen. (Check out the top I'm wearing in the picture.) I mean she sent tops and pants and shorts and dresses and t-shirts and bella bands and a swim suit and the list goes on and on. What a HUGE blessing! Thank you Sara! I still can't believe it.

This is week 15. I've really noticed a difference in my body the last couple weeks. It's fun to watch my belly grow, but I'm gaining weight in places I'd really rather not. Ugh. Thankfully I feel fantastic! We learned that this week "the kid" as Ryan and I have been referring it to, is about the size of a softball and is beginning to hear my voice!

We've been having fun discussing names, but we are no where near being set on one (or two since we still think we want to wait to find out the sex). At least we still have plenty of time to decide. Any and all name suggestions are welcomed!

It's a Rainbow!

Rainstorms are rare in northern Colorado, so it is a welcomed surprise to have rain pouring down for almost the past 24 hours (and still going). I love it! I've always loved the rain, and it's something I've missed since moving from Indiana. The skies cleared up for a bit late afternoon yesterday and a big rainbow appeared. I've never seen one that seemed so close. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't adequately capture the size, proximity or vibrancy of it, but at least there's a glimpse of it to share with you. :)

Evening Walks

We love to take Doody (aka Collin) for walks around dusk when the sun is setting behind the mountains. His favorite game to play is "Mommydaddy" at the soccer field. He starts out with me and then runs as fast as he can to Ryan at the other end. He does this constant sprinting (with a huge smile on his face) for a good 5 minutes. Once all that energy is out we continue our walk.
