Us Now

I can’t believe how quickly our time together has passed by, we’ve been married for two years on "Cinco de Maio" (the 5th of May), but each day brings with it new challenges, as well as new joys. Our greatest and latest joy is a new baby boy born on March 16th weighing 8lbs 3oz and measuring 19 inches. We named him Raymond after BJ's wonderful uncle. Since deceased, we want our son to be as warm and kind as he was. Raymond means "wise protector" and we feel that our son has a great purpose as we watch him grow and strive to be deserving parents. Our lives have been changed by him already. I have devoted all my time to being a mother and wife and BJ is working his hardest to provide. He will be returning to school ASAP to finish his degree in Mechanical Engineering in Missouri after we sell our townhome and move. Luckily, it shouldn't be more than just 2 more years for him to finally have his degree! This blog would not be complete unless I include a little on our sweet puppy Clara. She is a one year old, Australian shepherd with all the energy in the world. Raymond’s birth has also changed her. She is much more obedient and learning to be gentle and not jump up on everyone she sees. Clara has learned numerous tricks and continues to surprise us with how smart she is.
