Roadtrip to Arizona

This past weekend we took a quick trip to Phoenix, Arizona. Brian's Dad graduated from University of Phoenix with his Bachelor's Degree in Business- Public Administration. It was a special day to see him walk with his class and to celebrate his accomplishment! The rest of the time was spent relaxing in our hotel's lazy river and exploring the local restaurants. It was short but a nice weekend get-away! On the way home, we stopped at the Dinosaurs in Cabazon. It was a nice way to end our trip.

Trying to cope

I found this on a site for women who have had miscarriages. I am having a hard time with sorting my emotions. One minute I am sad, yet hopeful and another minute I am angry and discouraged and don't want to try again. I hope time will heal this loss, but at the same time, I don't want to forget that there was a life in me. Just because it wasn't born doesn't mean that I didn't love him or her and want to hold them in my arms...

Still (song)

I've been waiting for you for such a long time
You're always on my mind
And I'm laying awake most of the night
Waiting to hold you tight
Now that I do, and look at you
MY heart is breaking, this can't be true

Lost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On Earth we never can, but in heaven we'll meet again

Close to my soul, close to my heart
Right from the start
Lost in time, lost in space
Can't wait to see your face

Now that I do, and look at you
MY heart is breaking, this can't be true

Lost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On Earth we never can, but in heaven we'll meet again

Sometimes I find myself wondering what to do
With this pain that I'm going through
But I know one day, God will take me away
And I'm coming home to you

And when I do, and look at you
My heart is healing, I know it's true

Lost you before I found you
Gone before you came
But I love you just the same
Missed you before I met you
On Earth we never can, but in heaven we'll meet again
In heaven we'll meet again

Pregnant!

Most of you already know, but we are expecting! Our little one is due November 4, 2010 and we are pretty excited. The first few weeks were a little difficult because I was worried about miscarrying. But after two doctors appointments, things seem to be alright. (of course I still worry - it's an inherited trait, after all). And finally! - the all-afternoon and evening, aka "morning" sickness has started to subside. Whew!!
My cravings seem to include anything with cheese like cheese pizza from Costco, grilled cheese sandwiches, and macaroni and cheese. And then at times, I just want fruit and vegetables - not chocolate anymore (and I don't miss it!).
I will post ultrasound pictures when they actually start to look like a baby. Right now, Baby Foust looks like a grape. Next appointment April 12th!

A Happy 1st Year

It is hard to believe that it has already been a year since Brian and I were married. It felt like it took forever for that day to come and here we are, a whole year later! We wanted to go up to the cabin in GVL, but a fresh snowfall prevented our trip. So, we spent our anniversary morning eating a delicious breakfast and watching a movie. This is actually pretty typical for us (a meal and movie, that is!). But the day isn't over yet!I love Brian with all my heart and am so happy to be his wife.

Finally a Blogger

So for the past year or so, I've been asked, "When are you going to start a blog?" or "You should start a blog now that you're married." I must admit I didn't think I had the time to maintain one or the sense to figure out putting one together. But here I am.
Enjoy.
More to come soon!
