The best year

Wow! 2011 has already come and gone, and ohhh what an amazing year it was. Chris and I both agree that it was by far the best year of our lives.

Recap:

January

I got Lasik, going from legally blind to seeing better than perfect

 Our wedding day, the most perfect day of my life so far

We went on our honeymoon to Mexico

February

We moved in together and started our new life.

I learned to cook and be a wife, which is what I always dreamed of doing but (obviously) had no experience in, turns out, it's not too hard. I love it!

March

Grandpa Park passed away. 

We were so sad to say goodbye but we were able to celebrate his great life. He was fortunate to not have to suffer nearly as much as others who have lived with his disease. We miss and love you Grandpa. 

Chris started getting accepted to different law schools around the country. I started preparing myself for some big changes.

FYI

As most of you know, I have a baby blog.

I liked having it private but there were SO many people who had to ask me several times to send them an invite more than once because the invitation expired...ANYWAY...baby blog is now public. 

Just a heads up, I pretty much say whatever is going on with my body, so sometimes it's a little TOO MUCH INFORMATION. You have been warned.

WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR OUR LITTLE VIVIEN!

She is already the CUTEST thing I have ever seen in my life.

She kept her legs crossed for almost an HOUR, we had to do all sorts of poking, twisting, and position changing. Finally, it was drinking some ice water that made her uncross those cute little legs to give us a quick peak at her girl parts.

We really enjoyed going to Fetal Foto, I'm SO glad we decided to go. The girl was so nice and patient. We were able to see our little girl for a full hour! We got all sorts of pictures and the DVD of the whole thing, aww it was SO perfect! We love our little V so much already.

As I type, Chris is looking up little baby girl Yankee's outfits, he is going to just be the cutest little dad ever. He broke the streak in his family, every one of his bros had a boy first. That little rebel, Chris :) AH we are just so excited!
