Hello World

Hi there. It's been a while since I've written. While I'd like to summarize what's been happening in our life since November, I don't want to focus too much on it b/c I'll never get caught up. But here are the few big moments:

1)We found out we're pregnant again...and we're having a girl! She's due August 1, and the time is just racing. Can't wait to meet this little one!! Any ideas on names???? We need help. :-)

2)Christmas. Wonderful! My dad came to visit for a week, and we just loved having him here. He and Mia really bonded. And he was the first person we told about the new baby. We told him over dinner at Macaroni Grill; he choked on his water with surprise. He was thrilled to say the least. Had fun at the Summerhays Christmas party where there was a soup contest and a white elephant gift exchange. There were lots of good soups to choose from. We made a potato and broccoli soup; not bad for not ever making soup, but we didn't win. Josh's sister remains the soup/salad champion as she always sets the bar high. It's a fun challange.

3)We celebrated one year in our house in January. I can't believe it's been a year already. We love where we're at right now and are grateful to be in our home.

4)Josh took the CFP exam in October. He had been studying for months, and was so nervous when test time came, but thanks to his prep and a lot of prayers, he passed. They didn't let him know he passed until January. That was torture! I think he gained a few more grays during the whole process. It's such a relief to have that stress lifted from him. Congrats, honey! We're so proud of you!

5)The Steelers went to the Superbowl again this year. Yay!! Unfortunately, they lost. Boo! Grandma and Papa Shoe gave Mia the cutest little cheerleader outfit for the big day. That was the only upside to the game. Ha!

6)My little sister, Megan, got married in February!!! So happy she found her love in Adam. I'm still in shock that she's married though, just b/c she's my little sister, and she's supposed to stay that way forever-little. I feel so old!! Congrats you two!

Well, I think I've covered the main highlights. Hopefully I'll be better about blogging. We'll see. :-)
