Fun times coming right up!! :)

I am so looking forward to this weekend! I am leaving to drive to Austin tomorrow after work, staying with Betho & Cody for the night and then heading to our annual family camping trip. The funny thing about this year is that I am going alone. Lance has to be in a wedding, my parents have some things to do for the Girods, and Betho & Cody aren't looking to travel at this point in there lives, so I am just going by myself to soak in some good bonding time with family and friends I don't see everyday and miss TONS!

I will be heading back to Austin (which is only an hour away in case I have to leave sooner) Sunday morning to go back to the Girods and hang with Betho & Cody before we go to the hospital Sunday night to begin the induction! Can you believe it!? I have managed to re-schedule my clients until Wednesday at 3pm. I actually managed to re-schedule 15 clients. Thank you Jesus! It was a miracle! :) So I will be off 5.5 days from work and hopefully Max will come fast so I can spend some good time with his before going back home.

I can't wait for this fun weekend with family & Friends and can't wait to meet my nephew!! :)

Is it April 30th yet!?!?!?

Hi blog world,

Sorry for the lack of posting! Although I have been pretty busy, I have mainly not been blogged b/c I am awful about taking pictures of life and who really wants to read a long post with no pictures. Facebook has made me lazy and I usually just wait for someone else to post pictures and then I steal them. Lame I know.

But for those of you who love me enough to read a pictureless post, this is for you. :)

As, most of you know Betho is going to be having little Max any day now, well probably any "week" now. I am hoping we don't have to wait until April 30th!!! I was sitting in church today holding one of my very best friend's little 2 year old and was just SO in love with her and I know its b/c I love her Mom so much. I leaned over to my friends Mom and said, "I just love her so much, she is the sweetest child I think I have ever met", her mom then replied back, "You can't even imagine how much you are going to love Max when he gets here!" I think it is just human nature to love the children of the people closest you you the most. But it was in that moment that I was just SOOOO excited and overjoyed about getting to meet little Max. Max's mom is not just my sister but my very best friend on the face of this earth! I can't even put into words the love I have for her. Our husbands like to joke that we love each other more than we love them! Which of course isn't true but I can see where they are coming from hehe. :) But all that to say, I can't even imagine how much I am going to love little Max. A little person that is a part of my sister, who she will be personally responsible for taking care of and loving and who will likely grow up using really big words and telling funny stories b/c he was raised by her!!

I know having babies is one of the most normal, maybe even mundane things in this world b/c it happens millions of times every day. Having kids is just normal. However, when you really stop and think about the miracle it is, it is a pretty amazing, wonderful thing. Almost a little bit weird and crazy that you can grow a human being and then a short nine months later here they come! Then once they are here, that's it. You are a mom and your husband is a dad and you set off on this lifelong journey with your new title of "parents" joining the millions of other people doing the exact same thing. Odd. Exciting. Such a blessing.

So, all this to say I am just so so so so excited to get to be on the sidelines watching, helping, encouraging, and loving Max when he gets here. He is so loved by so many people already and I can't wait to see him and meet this little mixture of Betho and Cody-which I must mention that due to the fact that Betho & I are identical twins and have the same DNA Max is pretty much just as much my son as Betho's (kidding of course)!

Love you Betho! Can't wait to see you as a mom and love Max and be his favorite Aunt!! Aunt Kayla & Uncle Lance have lots of room for you to come over and play!!!! :)
