We're Pregnant!!!

Jim and I are very excited to find out that we are PREGNANT!!! We could not be happier!!! We feel so very blessed for this to have happened so fast. My doctor gave us the okay in March to start our family after finding out that my brain tumor had not changed in size on my MRI. God has truly blessed us with this little miracle and we can't wait to meet our sweet baby. At this point, I am ten weeks pregnant, and the expected due date is January 18th. I go back to have an MRI and to see the doctor in late August to check the status of the tumor to make sure that hormones are not causing it to grow. So, I ask for continued prayer over this situation and that I will "keep the faith" and remember that I am in God's hands. What better hands to be in! Thank you everyone for all your prayers through this journey. This exciting time would not be possible without your prayers. Praise God from whom all blessings flow...

Our little miracle at 6 weeks!

8 weeks...the baby is on its head here.

Our Five Year Anniversary!!!!

Jim and I can't believe it has already been five years! We have had some amazing times together starting in College Station, then Houston and now in Dallas. I couldn't ask for a better husband and friend to spend my life with. Thanks Jimmy for being an amazing soul mate!
For our anniversary this year, we went to one of our favorite places called La Duni, which is a Latin restaurant. The food is a lot like Mexican food (our favorite), with a kick. We had a blast on our special night together. I look forward to the next fifty years or more together!

Gardere's Yearly Event!

Jim's law firm had their end-of-the-fiscal-year event at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Dallas. We always have a great time hanging out with all the fun people that Jim works with. We really enjoyed the awesome food and had a great time at the casino night. We look forward to next year's event!

Our Church Care Team Event

For our last care team event, we had a great time eating boiled crawfish, sausage and potatoes that David Burton prepared. Paige also made a delicious cake that we all enjoyed. The Burton's were great host and we all had a fun time hanging out on the memorial day weekend.
