mad props to cory

I just have to share the recipe that my awesome husband made last Thursday--I was going to the gym with aaron (my little bro) as we've become accustomed to doing (he makes me) and asked cory to 1) water the plants, 2) take out the garbage, and 3) go to the store and buy stuff since we have none....and make dinner....and I didn't want chicken or anything with meat in very large chunks because of course that grosses me out..
Anywhoo--I got home an hour later and not only was everythign done but he made this (cutting up the pork chops into little pieces to obey my rules of course) and it was YUMMY!!!! I highly recommend it!!! Man do I have the best husband ever!!!

MY EGGO IS PREGO!!!!

Yes!!! For all of our blog readers out there (ok..both of you) your suspicions after reading my last blog post are true. I'm pregnant!!! It was exactly planned...(whoever thinks the pill works better not forget a day...ever...) but we're super excited about baby brown who is due on January 1st!!! I'm at about 15 weeks at this point--still a bit of nauseousness going on but luckily I got some drugs at my last appointment that work wonderfully!! We also had an ultrasound and heard the baby's heartbeat which was AMAZING (and scary!!!)!!! Parenthood here we come!!!!
Here is a pic of the ultrasound---sadly our insurance does not cover those snazzy 3-d ones and we don't have a video to show you or anything but you can see a head and a spine and some legs if you are really creative :) YAY FOR BABIES!!!!

Happy anniversary to us!!!

I know it's a few days late but I just wanted to commemorate our FIRST anniversary!!!! I can't even believe that we've been married a year already!!!! Monday night to celebrate we went to the melting pot and it was YUM-A-ROO!!! Cory succumbed to spending an exorbitant amount of money on fondue even though he maintains it is not real food because he figured it was the only time we would actually do something like that so, why not. We had lots of fun eating yummy lobster tail and other various delicious meats and artichoke cheese dip with bread and apples and of course the CHOCOLATE!!! Normally I am not one of those people who dies at the sight of chocolate dipped strawberries (I prefer veggies to fruit most of the time..I know it's weird…plus usually the chocolate all comes off at once..) so you'd think that the cheesecake or the pound cake or the brownies dipped in chocolate would have been the best—but NO it was the strawberries for sure!!! Anywhoo, we had lots of fun and I'm so grateful that I have a wonderful husband who has been a constant support during a trying year, who will do anything (and cheerfully) to make me happy, who constantly amazes me with his curiosity and intelligence, and who somehow still thinks I'm the hottest girl on earth even when I'm vomiting every morning, haven't done my hair all summer, and none of my clothes seem to fit…I LOVE YOU CORY!!!!
