GIRL...Abigail claire.

If you are reading this post, most of you know we found out we are having a GIRL in August! Nico and I were soooooooooooo excited to get our ultrasound and to see what we were having and to see how our baby. I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so anxious and nervous. I felt like it took forever as we were waiting in the Doctor's office for our ultrasound. As soon as we got in, everything went by so fast for me and I wanted to take it all in. It was amazing to see Abby moving around, even though I hadn't felt her moving at the time. She is perfect to us already. I was FOR SURE we were having a boy. I had dreams that we were having a boy, everyone told me I was having a boy, and I thought I just knew. When the nurse told us we were having a girl, I was in shock and started crying a little bit. I was trying to take it all in with seeing her arms, legs, brain, profile, etc. I called my mom and told her we were having a girl and I lost it. I know this all sounds corny, but that is when it hit me we were having a little girl and I started getting super excited! We decided to name her Abigail Claire Gonzalez and call her Abby. I didn't think I would like buying girly things, but I sure do love it!! Getting little Abby dresses is so fun! She is already a blessing to us and I can't wait till she gets here!

I'm the worst blogger ever, so everyone that has me on their list I can understand if you want to delete me, haha. Well a lot of things have happened since our last post, but I can't remember everything we have done! We went to Arizona for thanksgiving and had a lot of fun and we were able to take family pictures. About time! It's been a while. I'm so grateful for my family. I'm especially grateful for Nico and all the hard work he puts in at school and work. He definitely is the love of my life! It's never a dull moment when Nico is around. He always wakes up in the morning with a song stuck in his head, a different one each morning. One day he woke up singing, " I'm a barbie girl." I never let him forget that :) Sorry to go off track. But things are always busy in the gonzalez family and I will make sure I do better blogging about it!!

Sunburnt...

This is amazing, I'm updating our blog 2 times in one week! Today Nico and I went with some friends out on a boat and we had a blast. We went tubing, wake boarding, and skiing. This was a first for us and we were excited about it! As you will see in the videos, Nico was a lot better at skiing than I was...but we had the best time laughing when we would fall off the tube or slam in the water from trying wake board. In one picture Nico and I look terrified on the tub and another one we were laughing. I loved doing that with Nico and laughing when we ate it pretty good. We definitely got sunburnt, I'm putting aloe vera on while I'm doing this post. It was worth it and we are grateful we have such great friends that we love hanging out with and always laughing!

Nico and his drinks...

I went grocery shopping today and I was putting everything away and I noticed on our counter all the drinks I bought for Nico, yes he loves to have little juice boxes (especially for church). I couldn't believe how many drinks Nico goes through a week. I do help out, but our fridge is full of juice, pop, lemonade, etc. When we were first married Nico was looking in the kitchen and he was telling me he was hungry. I told him to cook something and he said, " I can't eat anything, we have no more juice left and I am not drinking water!" He is not a huge fan of water and he told me he can't eat anything with drinking water. So, I promised him we would always have juice in our house so he doesn't starve. He is funny and I am grateful for the daily laughs and we will never go without juice in our house.

It's amazing, I know, to be updating our blog. We celebrated our one year by going to California and hanging out at the beach, going to the San Diego zoo, Universal Studio's, and Disneyland. We had a great time and it made us want to move to Cali when Nico is done with school, we will see where we end up! Life is Great and we are enjoying it :)

First of all I wanted to say Sorry for being so crappy at keeping our blog up to date! I have pictures that I need to get off my camera, but for now, I have no excuse not to at least write about how things have been going for Nico and I! Nico took his last final last wed, and he was so relieved to be done for a semester. He is such a trooper and I am really proud of him and grateful for how hard he works at school and at the MTC. Instead of studying all the time when he is on the computer, he can look on ebay and watch episodes of the office and not feel guilty about not doing homework :)

I'm still working and I really enjoy my job! The girls I work with are a lot of fun and we are always laughing about something. Other than that, I enjoy doing yard work, like mowing the lawn. That probably sounds pretty weird, but my mom is the same way, she LOVES to mow lawns and I'm not embarrassed to say I'm starting to be like her in more ways than one :) She is great.

Next week we will be considered an old married couple, one year!! We are going to Cali for our anniversary. I am really excited and we need a vacation! A break from the real world and be able to be at the beach or sleeping in! I'm super excited about going to Disneyland!!!! It's nice to feel like a kid once in a while and I love Disneyland! We can't wait to spend time together without the everyday things that come up in life. Since I update our blog once every year, maybe the next blog will say we are expecting a little nico or stacey :)

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving! It was fun going to AZ and being around family and our grandma telling jokes. If you know her, you know what I am talking about. We had some good deep fried turkey and I wish I was having it right now! We didn't take a lot of pictures, but Nico was really excited to go to the Petrified Forest. For me, it is nothing exciting, I could get some in my back yard, but it was cute how Nico really wanted to go. We had a good time going on trails, and looking at the same type of wood, ha, but Nico was happy :) I love doing random things with Nico and not having set plans. I'm excited to see the next place we go without any plans and enjoy it as much as looking at Petrified Wood, haha!
